MONUMENTAL MAMA!
BRITTLE IS BEST
Nothing beats the traditional mouth-watering flavour of Ballantyne’s Peanut Brittle. Made by Ballantyne’s own kitchen, these bags contain 150 grams of brittle in a scrumptious toffee peanut flavour to appease the sweetest of sweet tooths. Ballantyne’s pantry is stocked with locally made, artisan sweet treats that are a step above your regular Party Mix. Treat yourself!
SWEET AND PETIT
Sweet Soul’s most dedicated fans can now take their Petit Box home and have 12 petit desserts at their beck and call! You’ll get four pieces in different flavours, all based on the desserts on the menu. Assemble these in a nice surprise morning tea table for mum this Mother’s Day, or simply as a beautiful gift box. Hint hint – Sweet Soul is the perfect Mother’s Day location!
GINGER SPICE
She Universe are true chocolate alchemists! Everyone knows ginger is beautiful in chocolate, but when you try She Universe’s Ginger Snap, you’re taken to a whole new place. Thin chocolate, the warmth of the ginger, the snap, the smell... all the taste buds and the heart sing. This one is exceptionally thin. This is the perfect Mother’s Day treat for mums who love a kick in their chocolate.
FAVOURING FLAVOUR
Our recommendation is to treat dear mum to a Mother’s Day lunch at Grater Goods. A firm favourite at Avenues HQ is their Café Gourmand – an espresso with a selection of sweet treats commonly called petit four. Grater Goods does sweet well in the fashion of the French – high quality ingredients favouring flavour and ethics. Everything at Grater Goods is vegan! Owner Flip Grater met husband Youssef in Paris, one of Europe’s culinary capitals, in 2012 while Flip was recording her album Pigalle. They now live in Christchurch central with their daughter Anaïs and run the Sydenham café.
