Saturday at Rochelle Adonis.

Saturday the 14th of August was one of the busiest days that we have had at Rochelle Adonis, in a long time. We are sure that this was the result of the beautiful weather and the smell of chocolate brownies and high tea goodies wafting from the kitchen.

We had over 40 people in for high tea, plus all our orders and we had to serve all of you that wanted to grab some takeaway!! It was very exciting and we loved every minute.

One of the groups to come in today were celebrating a birthday.. Su (seated/middle) chose our store to celebrate her birthday so we put our best on for her....

This included tropical trifle, nougat ice cream and chocolate slice, tangello puddings, cucumber sandwiches, roast vegetable and brie galettes and a selection of other sweeties.

The girls brought champagne with them, which accompanied all of the food beautifully.

Pineapple petit fours, chocolate almond genoise slice, nougat and chocolate slice

As the afternoon continued on, more people stopped by for lunch and to pick up cakes and confections. We had three orders for people that were having brunches on sunday, here is a selection of the goodies that we sent home with them...

 

 and finally... had two dark signature cakes, with the galaxy finish for two very lucky birthday people...

 

So by the time that 4pm came around and we shut the doors, counted the empty champagne bottles (five), cleaned out the fridges and stopped for a minute to reflect on the day we were all so exhausted. However we still had one very important thing to celebrate ourselves. Congratulation to Jade, who has completed the first and arguable one of the hardest parts of her apprenticeship... (sticking out the first three months)

We are now lucky enough to have her on board for the next two years. Congratulations again Jade on making it this far, we look forward to seeing all the wonderful things that you are going to achieve in your career.. 

We leave you with three more bottles to add to the tally..

We hope that you had a great weekend.....
