Cakes and Biscuits and Perfumes, oh my!

Well, I'm putting the Ashers Bakery gift hampers onto the site now... and they look even better than I'd thought. I still haven't gotten to try the Chocolate and Grand Marnier cake, nor the Cranberry and Orange biscuits.

That said, this week has been surprise coffee week. We're taste-testing some coffee that might just wind up being on the site, and with a new flavour every day so far, we're having a lot of fun. And this time I did get to be on the tasting list, because I was the one who found the company in the first place. Today's flavour was Mocha Orange. Very, very nice. If you're interested in us stocking gourmet flavoured ground or instant coffees in our gift hampers, please tell us about it!

Keep your eyes out for some new gift hampers in the next two weeks - with name-brand perfume and aftershave gift packs.

Whisky and Liqueur Cakes - Sneak Preview

I have to admit I have a terrible sweet tooth. And the new cakes and biscuits sitting behind me, all waiting for photography and adding to our festive hampers, are absolute torment, especially since our tasting crew has told me that they are absolutely fantastic. Of course, I'm not allowed to try any yet!

The whisky and liqueur cakes come in round collector's tins, and I can't wait to see what they look like once we start putting together some gift ideas around them. The nice folks at Ashers Bakery have certainly done some beautiful work with these.

Here's to hoping someone will decide I get to be on the next tasting trip :)
