Coming Saturday we will be at the Southland Multicultural Trust- Southland multicultural Festival in the ILT Stadium.

This event holds a special place in our hearts as it is the first event we started at back in 2022. We are very excited to be back for another year.

Come and score a Dutch apple pie and try out one of the other 68 cultural food stalls! This surely is a great taste around the world

This will also be the last time until mid May to get an apple pie as we are taking a break to visit family in the Netherlands and maybe do up some new inspiration along the way

On Saturday we will have a double whammy!

First up we will be at the South Dunedin Street Festival 2026. Yes we we are back in Dunedin this Saturday! It will be amazing with lots of Dutch apple pies, Sour cherry pies, Oliebollen and other Dutch baking. Come along and join the fun!

On Saturday we will also be at The Remarkables Market in Frankton! Find us in the barn next to my daughter Alexis and her friend Esme. They are fundraising to go to Jamboree at the end of the year with a great baking stall. Keep in mind we don't have eftpos at this location this week. There is an ATM on site though.

And on Sunday we are at the Southern Farmers Market where we will be joining in the celebrations for National Farmers Market week. There will be lots of tastings at many stalls.

Come along to any of these events and say hi!
