Schelle Sweets year was very Cosmopolitan, we did a bit of everything and was able to be a part of some fabulous Events. Let me end by saying that we will be thinking outside the box for 2010...and to all a good night and a wonderful, safe and joyous New Year, and let 2010 be your year to not just Survive, but to Live and enjoy all the great things within you and around you.

Entertain by Colour

Many of us have kick started the Holidays by either hosting parties or being invited to parties. And some of you are just fabulous when it comes to pulling together a wicked table setting, once you have pulled it all together, your Table Setting can easily be on the pages of Town & Country magazine. And your guest will feel like royalty.

Others may not be that gifted, myself included. Many of us would like to pull off a Collin Cowie table but we just can't. So I decided to speak to a few of my friends who are hard core Entertainers and these tips were given. To make life easier, yes I said easier, when it comes to the holidays and family coming together it may be wonderful, but it's not easy. I was inform, why not Entertain by Colour. And no need to go out and break the bank, use what is available to you.

Look at the Red & White Table Setting photo above it will not make it to Town & Country. But by using what you already own, that table can come alive. Christmas Tree ornaments are not made for a tree only, you can add them to your table. Jazz the table up for Christmas by adding more red pcs, you can even add a red Table Runner, tie white table napkins with a pc of red ribbon, and put on centre on plate. Take a clear Vase and add red balls to it, use that as your centre piece, I say think outside the box, and make the table setting work for you and your family.

Look at the Gold & White photo the plate etc are the same a taller flute was added, the red removed, a white ribbon was added and a gold coloured place mat, and some gold and white ornaments were added. This table can be Pimped up even more, and you and your guest are ready to celebrate and bring in the New Year. Adding some gold votive candles will add sparkle to the table, plus we all know candle light makes everything look sexier :)

My inexpensive tips hopefully they can be of use to you and if not, well I am going to try it myself. That's all for now, have yourself a sweet afternoon.

In's & Out's of 09

Schelle Sweets have been so busy I have neglected my Sweet Blog :) Hoping you are all well and your Summer was wonderful, and now that the Holiday Season is upon, I am sure like me you are busy in getting prepared. Here are a few things that we have been up to.

Kamshuka launched her website in May and Schelle Sweets made amazing Bailey's Flavoured Cupcakes, they were a big hit.

New products will be added to Schelle Sweets site for 2010, and my amazing friend / photographer Jennifer Ko was able to do my Product Photo Shoot in June. And thanks to Mary-Jo for getting me and all the cakes, cookies & cheesecakes there in one piece.

August an Event was done by Kamshuka with proceeds going to the Breast Cancer Society. And once again Schelle Sweets was a part of it, the Cake & Cake Balls were a success.


Adwoa & Fred had a beautiful wedding and Schelle Sweets was asked to make them their favourite cake, happy to relay it was a hit. And thanks to my pal Tanis and her wonderful daughter Sydney, cutting and plating the cake was a breeze

Beautiful sample boxes containing our products were hand delivered as a part of our 2009 Holiday Campaign. Feedback was wonderful, great connections were made and 2010 will be agreat year for us. Just by us doing the Holiday Campaign.

We made a lot of Bithday cakes this year, but when a Client requested a cake in the shape of a Heineken beer bottle we were not sure about being able to pull it off. Happy to inform you it was a hit :)

Another request came in for a Black Cake, and for those of you who are asking what is a black cake? Black cake and Christmas goes hand in hand in the Carribean. Trust me having a great piece of Black you will be filled with joy all holiday long. The cake contains prunes, raisins, currants, dry cherries, almond, egg, a little flour, butter, sugar, rum rum rum rum & brandy lots of it. So can you see why I say having a piece of Black cake will make you HAPPY :) and to top it off all the fruits have been soaking for approx 4 months in the rum and brandy.
So a Black cake was made for Floyd, and I was informed by his wife Jacqueline that Floyd knows about Black cake, he is a Black Cake connoisseur, well the pressure was on.

Floyd loved the cake...............loved it.
