Murthy's Boat Cake


The success of our Big Mama  cake (previous post) has given us a new platform to explore as we are now getting in a few orders for themed cakes! This one was for the Mooring team down at Malongo Dock! 

We are limited to basic butter icing and food colouring so its pretty fun trying to do these and we dont take it too seriously, however the clients are paying for these cakes so we like to do our very best!

Keep watching for more cakes later!

Making Boerewors! (South African Sausage)

These are two very determined South African gents (Riaan and Grobbies) who came and made a huge batch of Boerwors the other evening. Not only did they bring all their own ingredients, including spice and skins from South Africa, they also designed and made me a Sausage tube for my mincing machine! 

After completing their Safety brief and signing the waver which allowed them to use my butchery without hats on (*Ahem)  they got stuck right in! They also had some assistance from Linda, Emma and Heidi. 

I am going to trial these on our Private Function Menu, and if they go as well as expected we should make a tidy profit! Everyone wins!




The team get stuck in, assisted by Heidi and her radioactive arm! 

The finished article! Delicious! 


Happy Father's Day!


Being away from your Kids is tough but receiving these kind of photos goes a long way to making it easier. Happy Fathers day to all Dads!
