Wow!!! Pop up number 9, done and dusted!!! ??

Yes kids, we hosted an Autumn ? dinner in the Winter?? Why not?!!! Lol.

This pop was special. We collaborated with two of our favorite brands and
how perfect? Everybody knows that we are obsessed with coffee and
chocolate ?. Absolutely obsessed!!! So how fun that we get to play around
with them at our pop up restaurant?!

We chose Roastmasters coffee bar again because it’s one of our favorite
venues in Pretoria East and it’s cozy!! Absolutely perfect for a lovely
intimate dinner. We love Natania, the owner, she’s amazing and her amazing
daughter, Grethe (who we went to school with by the way ) gave an amazing
coffee talk on the evening. Couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Now, for the chocolate ? We have a beautiful friend, Katelyn (The
Kate Tin) who is married to an amazing chocolatier (luckiest girl ever!!!
) and they own a brand called “Afrikoa Chocolate”. It’s made in Cape
Town and it’s from Tanzania ??. How about that? ??Please buy local,
honestly!! ? They are amazing and we are obsessed with them and their brand
?. Follow them and spy on them and you won’t regret the chocolate
education. So what a pleasure and honor to do a collaboration with them?!

We hosted a lovely 3 course dinner, wine pairing and a chocolate and coffee
Tasting!!  Phew!! ???

So much fun!!! So much yummy!!

Roastmasters served an amazing “EspressoTini” as welcome drinks ?.
Yaaaaasss!! ??????

We served a citrus and chicken ribbon salad as starter, paired with white
wine. And our take on “American Chili” (cooked with a bit of the Afrikoa
70% chocolate) on flatbread as our main course, paired with a lovely Red
wine ?. We then served a chocolate and coffee pavlova as dessert (made
With Roastmasters coffee beans and 27% Afrikoa chocolate) ????.

We finished off the evening with lovely chocolate cake pops covered with
the 55% Afrikoa Chocolate, served with Roastmasters coffee.

Don’t you just wish you were there ?! Hmmmm ??? lol.

Our baby Heiress Bunduki did an amazing Job on photography (as always)
and our girl Tebogo Mogole did exceptional graphic work on our posters ( as
always)

Just wanna hug and kiss everyone that came to the pop up. It was beautiful
and amazing, we are so grateful.

God bless.

items from the book.  ??? listen ? … we started off ka  Magwinya then

curried Cabbage and classic potato salad for Mains. Mini boerewors burgers

Pop up restaurant number 7!!! ??????? Can you believe that? ???
lol.

We’ve always wanted to host a picnic and we thought what better time ?then
to host it in ? Autumn?. It’s April, everybody is celebrating Easter, it’s
fitting.  We went back to Ça Ira wellness retreat (thank you Dr. Marie
?) And figured we could play around in their garden again.

Listen!! This was the cutest picnic ever!!! ?? but trying to put it
together? … ???… let’s all laugh together!!! ???? let’s just
say, everything that could’ve gone wrong… WENT WRONG!! Lol. Firstly, why
were there no Easter eggs in the whole of PTA? ?? yikes!!! Some pallet
guy cancelled on us the day before? what a mini disaster. This was one of
those pop ups where we were ready to throw in the towel and say “PEACE
OUT!!!!” ???? lol, but with a little motivational talk – we got psyched
up and actually DID THE THINGS!!!!

Picnics are so easy, we played around with canapé options, cutie pie
serving platters, a lot of fresh fruit. It wasn’t difficult planning the
menu, we served sangrias and non- alcoholic fruit cocktails. We had a
cheese board and crackers platter, we did a layered salad in a cup…
yum!!! You also can’t go wrong with mini club sandwiches, samoosas,
Chicken bites… done!!! We made bunny ? ears for the cupcakes… took
hours ?? but we made them with love and it was totally cute and worth it.
The company was amazing, the vibe was great, our baby Heiress came
through and took the most beautiful shots ever ?? what more could we ask
for?

#storkbake!!!  we absolutely loved being the Easter ambassadors so you
know they had to be cute and come through at the pop up, thank you for the
gifts and stork bakes, had an awesome time baking with them. Tebogo Mogole,
the posters looked amazing babes, thank you. Pierre Du Plessis from
Pretoria North… the pallets were amazing!!! You saved the day sir, we
really appreciate it!!! Ok, we’re done  Hope you like the pics!!!

our very good friend and colleague Kutloano aka #sugarcoma oh gosh!!

We hosted at the beautiful Sandown Estate in Sandton. Yup, our first pop up

We were very cheesy with the theme, made everyone come dressed in white,
black and red. Thank you guys for keeping to the theme. We had a
Mediterranean inspired menu. Served Bruschettas for starters and our main
course consisted of flat breads, salsa, roasted beef, aubergines,
caramelized onions, tzatziki, rocket, moon blush tomatoes, baby marrows, oh
gosh… you name it!! ??? and for dessert we had yummy apple tartlets,
Pavlovas and chocolate truffles. We feel bad for all the people that
weren’t there ????? lol. We only served pink drinks – it was great.

A lovely treat was we had an amazing design/ clothing company called
Klosette come and exhibit their lovely clothing at our Pop Up ??, we
can’t thank you guys enough for coming. You’re amazing. And you guys
already know that our baby Heiress (Ress Photography) captured the amazing
shots. Thank you sweetly and our graphic designer for the pop up poster
