Sodalicious

I'm still working on my 'blog' website, hopefully I'll have something on line soon. In the mean time check out this great wee business my son's partner has launched, it's so cool. www.growalittle.co.nz

Announcing the arrival of Sodalicious. I'm embarking on a new adventure, and I'm thrilled to invite you to be a part of it. I’m starting a blog. While I've said goodbye to the bustling world of cafe life, I haven’t bid farewell to my food and baking obsession and have spent my time since the café doors closed indulging in my passion for creating in the kitchen.

Over the years, our cafe was more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee; it was a meeting point for friendship and conversation. Your visits were not just transactions; they were opportunities for us to share stories, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Lots of the food you enjoyed at Soda was inspired by you, created and developed on the premises and many of you asked for me to “write a recipe book one day”.

In this new digital space, I'll be sharing my love for food, baking and culinary tips, all while offering a glimpse into the life I now lead. It will include lots of the popular Soda recipes you enjoyed, tips for gluten free baking, ideas about cooking for a family and how to impress with some great tried and tested dinner party ideas. It's a place where we can continue to interact, share our passions, and explore the world of flavours and delights that brought us together at the cafe.

Whether you're a food lover, enjoy a nice glass of wine or a summer cocktail or simply someone who enjoys a good story, there's a place for you here. Together, we'll create a digital community that honours the spirit of togetherness that made the cafe special.

I hope you'll be a part of this exciting new chapter. Let's continue to share our love for all things culinary and keep the cherished memories alive.

I'm changing the name of this Face Book page to Sodalicious as that will be the name of my new website. Keep watching this space for the website launch in the next few weeks I'd love you all to join me on this new journey.

With a bit more time on my hands this year I managed to knock this up for our family Christmas. ❤

2 tier madness! Gluten free chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream and a whole lot of hand made chocolate decorations. This was a heavy one! Made with lots of love. ❤

So nice to have the time to do things like this. 🧡

Lots of cakes for friends and family over the last few weeks. 🧡

Keeping my hand in this week, miss Soda baking but not missing the Covid madness. Hope everyone is keeping well. X

Sodalicious updated their info in the about section.

I hope everyone is doing well in these strange times (once again). I'm looking for recommendations (would love to try to support someone who supported Soda), anyone out there know anyone who is a builder/someone who knows about windows. I have a leaking (has been for a long time) kitchen window that I think will need replacing. Thanks in advance. 🧡

WARNING - Lock down online shopping - Can be dangerous!

My heart goes out to all small businesses (especially cafes). Grateful not to have the worry this time round. Take care everyone. X

Keeping my hand in with this treat for the hubster's Birthday. 🧡

My family have been absolute legends while helping me clean up at Soda this last fortnight. Hubby has supported me practically, emotionally and professionally. The dream is over (for now). 🧡

Just found a selection of these, on corflute if anyone interested. Free.

Empty! Tiny bit of cleaning left and then it's all over. What a ride. 🧡

Definitely missing my warm Soda kitchen during this cold snap. 🧡

Lots sold today but still heaps for anyone who couldn't make it in or wants to make a return trip. Open tomorrow 10:30 to 2:30. 🧡

Big sale today, everything from microwaves, fridges, crockery, cutlery and small appliances. 10:30 to 2:30. Please bring bags and boxes to take stuff away. Eftpos available but I'd prefer no credit cards because of the bank charges. Thank you. 🧡

Tomorrow and Thursday 10:30 to 2:30 Soda Cafe selling everything. Come and grab yourself a really good quality bargain. Please like and share so no one misses out. 🧡
