Tabi's delights

15/12/2022

If ever I see another 2022, I will not standby and do nothing, the year has been taxing and challenging for me but it’s also been the year I’ve grown the most spiritually and mentally ( I was never given a choice).

I have been off social media to find my innermost self and align with it but also to fight the demons that have been chasing me. I’ve moved a mile (hooray)💃 the remaining journey may be shorter or longer still. It may be easier or still be clustered with thorns and be facing an uphill climb 🤷‍♀️. Nevertheless it’s a journey I will travel and see it to the end.

Hopefully as we knock into 2023, I will find it easier to share, to talk, to cook some more. All I can say for now is thank you for bearing with me, I have missed cooking, my kitchen, sharing recipes because I was busy surviving and doing most of us do quietly, burning inside, shedding invisible tears but surviving.

Hopefully I will find the courage to share, we may help each other (survive) just “As I Am”.

🙏🙏

So I’ve been busy creating and recreating foolproof cake recipes and and getting reviews from various people. I can now happily put them up for sales now and they are safe to be posted.

Will keep for up to 5 days at room temperature and can be frozen too then thaw at room temp.

Dearest customers and late order requests; please please do not deposit any monies as I am no longer able to make more cakes. I would love love to meet everyone’s orders but time is now not on our side.

I wish I could those who placed orders and haven’t paid by now; I have given the cakes to those who were in standby so please do not make payments unless you have checked with me or confirmed first. I may end up having to refund some of you. I’m ever so sorry. I promise to start early next year and double the number of orders. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Strawberry and Mango jam tasting 😋

Jams and scones for a treat box for afternoon tea, macarons for a beautiful treat to self or gift and jam to have with your toast. You wouldn’t look at the ones from a supermarket shelf once you try these.

You could order now for a Mother’s Day hamper.

Eternally thankful and grateful to all of you blessed people for your support and kindness. I thought the kids would tire of working but they keep going and pushing. Tonight we’ve all been busy (the 3 of us) and I’ve had to force them to go to bed, we will finish off tomorrow.

Ok we are getting better, we are getting somewhere and maybe, just maybe we will get where we want be. These treats are all being sent out together with the jams.

The story behind jam making:

A long long time ago growing up in a small suburb of Rutendo in Redcliff; my mom used to make marmalade from lemons. I remember being sent to Redcliff to buy the lemons (my mom had specific people to buy from). We would go to those houses and have the lemons freshly picked for us and then lug the bags home. Peeling, deseeding and skinning the lemons was a process I used to hate but the marmalade was delicious.

Now I find myself in a similar situation only with and for my children using exactly the same recipe that mama used. It’s funny how we pass on these skills without realising what we are doing and how we learn from our parents without needing a notepad and pen. Today my children are using their grangma’s recipe to make a few pennies, the difference is; they are actually enjoying what they are doing while I used to hate the same thing.

LESSON: Your parents are GOLD. Treat them well and with RESPECT.

They did most of their labelling too as they really want to make their own mark on this. Poor kids they were reluctant to go to bed wanting to finish their work first.

They’ve been busy and they still did their homework 👏🏾👏🏾.
