Sweet Service Award goes to Mynhardt’s Kitchen; Sour Service Award goes to Discovery Insure!

 

The Sweet Service Award goes to Mynhardt’s Kitchen in Paarl for its professional delivery of a Fruitcake, to publicise its charity drive to sell 1200 Festive Fruitcakes, to support disadvantaged children in Paarl, and frail and disadvantaged elderly persons in Montagu.

In addition, a recipe card was sent to bake a Fruitcake, as well as tips on how to store and serve a Fruitcake.
