Down at the Papakura Rotary Christmas Parade and market at Bruce Pullman Park.

Come buy some fresh baked goodies. I was baking for 14hours yesterday so everything is super fresh.

Proceeds will go towards supporting ASD Mum's and ASD Dads. Such deserving wonderful groups! They do some massive mahi for autistic children and their whānau.

But most importantly because cost of living is ROUGH sleigh prices have NOT increased. Why? Because we do it to bring joy and help out local charities.

There is no cuter gift for your friends, whanau and workmates than these little chocolate Santa sleighs! We have been making these for the last 10 years,...

I love something a little different, it won't be Gingerbread houses this year but Gingerbread Sleighs.

17/11/2024

We are excited to be attending the Papakura Rotary Club Christmas Parade / fair this year! We have made more Sleighs in preparation, will have our signature reusable bags 1m tall for only $20 each and will be whipping up some delightful cookie boxes!

Fresh baked cookies with a 1 week expiry because they are HOMEMADE can't beat that.

You asked so we delivered!

Our Sleighs have had a small glow up! We have added ribbon and a wee Merry Christmas tag option. Add "Tag" or "Tag and Ribbon" depending what you'd like in comments in orders to add as a free bonus.

Buying a sleigh also supports a local charity that serves the community at Christmas time this year so far we have raised $260 and would love to round it out to $500. We were originally going to make packages for families within our community however haven't had any nominations so we will be donating to the kindness collective this year.

Once again thank you for your support it goes a long way every year.
