new career
At my work, people with birthdays look after their own morning tea.
Fortunately I share a birthday with a colleague, so the burden is relieved and I don’t have to stand by myself looking embarassed when everyone sings ‘Happy Birthday’. (Shudder.)
It’s been a (short lived) tradition over the last two years that I make and bring proper party food – Chocolate Crackles and Honey Joys. Apparently people look forward to it!
Today one of my colleagues, who is three months pregnant, gave me a catering order for her child’s first birthday party. Chocolate Crackles and Honey Joys (known in SA as Honey Crackles) are definitely on the menu. I may even stretch beyond my ‘melt and mix’ comfort zone and enter the realms of ‘spread and sprinkle’. Yes, fairy bread will enter my party food canon!
