Wrapping up 2009!

Yvonne — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:38:41 +0000

My last Christmas Sale of the season was on November 28th, 2009. After that, December happened……so I hope you can forgive the belated post!

The 3rd Annual Artisans Market in Airdrie was once again a fun and exhausting day. There were over 60 vendors, with incredible creations. The entertainment wasn’t quite as seasonal as the last couple of years, Belly Dancing and Hula-Hoop Dancing, but it definitely held people’s attention!

Once again, the first flavor to sell out was Eve’s Hot Chili Fudge. Airdrie must be an adventurous community! The number one seller over all was Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge, wonderful for the holidays. In a three-way tie for second place, was the tried and true Eve’s Chocolate Fudge, the layered Eve’s Chocolate-Peanut Butter Fudge and the BRAND NEW Eve’s Irish Cream Fudge. Eve’s Chocolate Mint Fudge and Eve’s Maple Walnut Fudge rounded out the top seller list.

I officially wrapped up the 2009 fudge run with a few last minute Christmas purchases emptying out my fridge. Now it’s time to put my feet up, and start planning next years “assault”!

FUDGE FURLONG!

Ever wonder what a furlong of fudge would look like? Well, these photos show enough fudge to make approximately 120′ if lined up end to end. That being said, the entire 2009 Eve’s Fudge season could generate enough fudge to make a furlong, or 660 feet, equal to one-eighth of a mile! Uff Da!

Olds Fashioned Christmas

November 7th, found me at the Olds Legion, participating in the Christmas Farmers Market put on by the Olds Agricultural Society. Once again, it did not disappoint!! The Olds Ag Society does a wonderful job in advertising the market, and signs could be found coming into town from every direction. So, although only a 4 hour market, the people swarmed through. The Olds markets, last year and again on Saturday, are the only sales to have Eve’s Maple Walnut Fudge be the number one seller! Eve’s Macaroon Fudge, and Eve’s Black Forest Fudge were tied for second, and the bronze seller was Eve’s tried and true plain Chocolate Fudge.

I enjoyed seeing many repeat customers, and meeting new fudge fans! I’m already looking forward to next year!

Fudge Connoisseurs

It’s always fun to have fudge connoisseurs sample Eve’s Fudge at the markets, and pass their tests. One gentleman was quite discerning, and felt that my fudge measured up even to his Grandma’s recipe in smoothness!! Another discriminating palate compared Eve’s Fudge to fudge purchased in Chemainus on Vancouver Island all the way to the Chocolate Moose Fudge Factory in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. I’m thrilled to compete in such company!

I’m always listening to consumers of Eve’s Fudge, and adding new flavors and variations to my line-up, and this year is no different. Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge contains real candied orange peel, but some people prefer a creamy smooth orange fudge. So, starting November 7th at the Olds Christmas Market I will have both the regular Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge, as well as a creamy Orange variety. And in reverse, Eve’s Creamy Hazelnut Fudge from last year was well received but some people felt it would be better with whole hazelnuts in it. So this past week-end I attended the Didsbury Christmas Market with both Eve’s Creamy Hazelnut Fudge and a chunky, nutty variation. Ask, and you may receive!!

We wish you a Merry Halloween?!?

Yesterday’s market was in Didsbury, our new home town, and it is wonderful to be supported by your community. I enjoyed seeing many familiar faces, and meeting new “neighbors”. It was my first Halloween/Christmas market and believe me, that’s quite a mix!! But despite the date, market goers must have been thinking about Christmas, as the number one seller was Eve’s Eggnog Fudge. The kids favorite, and not a surprise was Eve’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, while many adventurous adults tried and bought Eve’s Hot Chili Fudge. I know it seems strange, but it is very popular! Six days now to prepare for the Olds Market.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful…

Yvonne — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:25:29 +0000

The weather today was frightful, especially for October, but Christmas is coming and I should be inside making fudge instead of frolicking out in the autumn warmth anyways. So the dump of snow today may just be mother natures way of keeping me on track! After a 10 month hiatus it’s back to the stove, creating hand-stirred fudge by the potful for your pleasure.

The “line up” this year consists of all your past favourite Eve’s Fudge flavours, with one NEW addition. Eve’s Fudge is proud to present Eve’s Irish Cream Fudge. Many friends and family were able to taste-test this one around St. Patrick’s day and I was given the thumbs up, amidst sighs and complaints on how hard it is to be on my official taste-testing team!

The 2009 Christmas season kicks off with Eve’s Fudge at the Didsbury Christmas Farmers Market, on Halloween of all days! October 31st from 10am-5pm. Maybe your friends would appreciate some quality chocolate this Halloween.

February – the month of Love!

Even for the people who shower their sweethearts with gifts and appreciation all through the year, Valentines is a reminder to pause and esteem our beloved. And what better way than with a rich chocolate fudge?
Spice up your Valentines with Eve’s Hot Chili Fudge or stick with the tried and true Eve’s original Chocolate Fudge. Browse the list of flavours and you’ll be sure to find just the right treat for the 14th!

Where in the world is Eve’s Fudge??

Yvonne — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 05:55:23 +0000

With the advances in technology and reasonably priced world travel, the globe is rapidly shrinking. What was in the past a cottage industry, can now “go global” in a matter of weeks. My wonderful website (Thank-you, Leland) has people finding Eve’s Fudge through search engines from all over the world. Google Analytics shows people browsing Eve’s Fudge from Canada, USA, New Zealand,the UAE, Argentina, Cypress, Holland, Mexico and even Russia. Over the holidays I shipped fudge to Canada, the States and Mexico and additional fudge travelled to New Zealand via luggage as Christmas gifts. It is a wonder where my fudge has travelled…..if only it was me!

I’m interested to hear where your Eve’s Fudge ended up.

Olds Christmas Market – Part Two

Yvonne — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 02:25:23 +0000

December 6th was my last Christmas market for 2008. The Olds community welcomed me back, and a decrease in attendance didn’t seem to affect sales! Eve’s Maple Walnut Fudge was an overwhelming success, one gentleman told me it’s the first choice for grandpas, so there should be a lot of happy grandpa’s in the area! Eve’s Chocolate Fudge was designated to second place – a rare occurance. Eve’s Maple Fudge, Eve’s Chocolate Mint Fudge, Eve’s Chocolate Orange Fudge and Eve’s Black Forest Fudge battled all day for third place. I’ll miss the “market scene” but was happy to have a few “fudge-free” days at home!
