what we did for indie-mart
While we're busy gearing up for PARKSALE, tomorrow, we thought it would be fun to give a sneak peek into what we did last week for our show down in San Francisco!
With the help of Lana (who graciously provided us with a little spot beside her), Brian and Joe (for helping with transportation and generally being big cheerleaders), elfie represented the entire nyummm! team and pushed a bunch of mini picnic baskets out to the public in efforts to discover the foodie market, while allowing them to simultaneously find us right back!
These fanciful baskets, featuring hand-made silk-screened napkins (made by Lika!), contained home-made chocolate dipped strawberries and a slice of home-made flourless chocolate cake (made by elfie!) which posed as the main character for our "HOW MUCH OF A FOODIE ARE YOU?" challenge.
What was that challenge? Oh, simply to be able to work out, through nothing more than eating and tasting the cake, what ingredients were involved! The biggest tip: NO FLOUR!
Of all the contestants whom attempted to work out the exact ingredients in the cake, only one person got the answer right! We'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Nishanga for winning a one-year FREE subscription to our magazine! And we appreciate every single one of you who tried it out and gave it a shot. Thank you so much for your interest in what we're doing and for all your support. A special mention must go to Garth, too, for thinking way above and beyond the 4 simple ingredients used, which were:
Bittersweet chocolate
Butter
Sugar
Eggs
Remember, SIMPLE is KEY!
Meanwhile, we're getting busy putting our chocolate avocado rage together... SO LOOK OUT!!! Hope to see you at PARKSALE in about 17 hours!
