Charly's Bakery

Dear Jacqui,

Here is the story of how our wedding came to be in South Africa because of charly’s bakery ):

Rune and I have been back and forth to Cape Town since 2004, because of studies and work. Every time we have stayed in Cape Town, Charly’s bakery have featured big time in our lives there – we just cannot resist the delicious cakes, cookies and pies you make. The taste is totally yummy, and the decor and colours are just to die for ). The last time we stayed in Cape Town for a longer period of time, we lived just around the corner to where Charly’s bakery used to be. We lived in The Square, and every day when going to and from Iziko:South African Museum, where we worked, we passed by Charly’s. And the delicious smells always managed to get us in to the bakery and buy something.. Luckily we had a gym in our appartment complex, or else we’d be in serious trouble to get clothes to fit ). Anyways, every time we went in to Charly’s, we always used to study all the fantastic wedding cakes that you’d made, and we just loved them ). They were just something completely different, and more amazing then any other wedding cake we’d ever seen before.

In 2008 we went back to Norway in April, and we started planning our wedding for 2009. It originally was planned to be in Norway, and we’d already started to look into venues and service providers. But the one thing we could not find, was somewhere to make us such a spectacular cake as we’d seen that you at Charly’s could make. And we had gotten our hearts set on a beautiful and different cake. So in my frustration during the planning, I visited your website, and was looking at all the beautiful wedding cakes pictured there. My fiancee Rune and my mother was sitting across from me, and I just put the thought out there: “What about moving the wedding to South Africa, so that we can have a Charly’s bakery cake?�. My fiancee jumped right on the idea, as he also loves Charly’s bakery. My mother at that time, hadn’t yet tried Charly’s cakes, but she wanted a vacation in South Africa, so she was also ready to move the wedding (and after trying our wedding cake, by the way, my mother has also become a Charly’s bakery fan )). And that’s what we did: We moved the wedding from Norway to South Africa to be able to have a Charly’s cake. So the cake was the first thing we had ready, when we started planning our wedding in South Africa ). And of course, we did not regret our decision! The cake we had for our wedding, was the most beautiful cake I have EVER seen! And it tasted like HEAVEN as well! So moving a wedding to South Africa for a Charly’s wedding cake, is definitely reccommended.

There you have the story! I hope you liked it. It is the truth! I will send you one photograph of us cutting the cake in this mail, and send an extra mail with another photo, as they are quite large files. One photo is black and white, where you see us completely, and the other is in colour when you just see our hands cutting the cake.

The photos are the ones we have gotten from Christine Meintjes, so please, please put her name (and also her website if you can: www.christinemeintjes.co.za) on your blog when using the photos for the story.

Love,
Lena

Hi Guys…..The following letter has been sent to the Cape Times, The Argus, and
Brian Joss of the Southern Suburbs Tatler.

There is a Gold Mine in Cape Town – and it is run by a group of Fairy
Godmothers.

The wedding of one of my closest friends was due to take place at 11am on
Saturday morning. When she called the very very larney (and expensive!!!)
professional Wedding Cake Bakery in Kenilworth to check up on the delivery
arrangements for her wedding cake late on Friday afternoon she was greeted with
the ghastly words, “What cake?�

Not only had they misplaced her order….they also appeared supremely
disinterested in fixing the situation. Having always vowed not to be a bride who
cried the day before the wedding, needless to say she was reduced to tears. When
we spoke late on Friday evening she was on her way into her kitchen to try and
knock something up. I told her to go to bed and said I would sort it
out…….and immediately dropped an email to Charly’s Bakery in Canterbury
Street.

There’s a general air of magic about the place under normal circumstances and
I thought that if anyone could come to the rescue it would be the glorious bunch
of Bohemian women who run it. Well, when I walked in at 09h30 on Saturday
morning (a day when they usually open at 11h00, and ONLY for collections) they
had just read my email and had their wands out and at the ready. “What are her
colours?� They wanted to know….. Then, “Give us half an hour,� they
said.

Come 10h00, I returned to find a miracle of a cake iced and waiting……Two
layers of decadent chocolate cake (to DIE for!!!), covered in silver icing,
topped with softest lilac roses and tiny green chrysanthemum buds and entirely
dusted in silver edible glitter. It was just as well I hadn’t done my face
because I practically burst into tears. Not only were they willing to
inconvenience themselves to help out, but they did it with charm,
professionalism and the most unbelievable skill……..It was the stuff of fairy
tales.

The cake and I both made it to the wedding in the nick of time, and I, for one,
will never bother with another bakery ever again. To the Fairy Godmothers at
Charly’s Bakery – Thank you so very much for making yet another wish come
true.

Regards
Liz Dewing

So we just got this amazing thank you email which made us so happy
Thought I’d Share it
To all the magical Oompa Loompas,

Just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for Talulah’s SPECTACULAR birthday cake.
You and your inimitable cakes make this country a better place!!!!!!!!!!!
Have sent 2 pics…..the gold 8 was a massive hit as you can see.

YOU GUYS ROCKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lots of glitter dusted love and edible gold-lipped kisses
Sarah and family.

So I’m backtracking a bit, but you will soon see why. Last year we were asked by Fiona of King’s college in London to make a cake for Archbishop Tutu’s 75th birthday- our reaction- of course. Anytime you want me to make a cake for one of my personal heroes- I’m there like a shot- and Zelda-PA to Madiba- this is a big hint about a certain big 90th coming. I want to make Madiba the greatest most Mucking Afazing cake ever for the Greatest most Mucking Afazing Man of South Africa, next year in July when the BIG MAN turns 90. I am willing to change our annual holiday dates to make Madiba’s cake!
But I digress, so lots of planning went into the Arch’s cake as he is a man of many talents, and we chose words which symbolise him for the one tier- Love, Truth and Peace . And then the next tier had to have the Rainbow for the famous “rainbow nation” name of our country, and then the top tier has an Africa with a little gold cross in the place of South Africa, and of course the big gold 75 on top.
Well you can see from the photo, his delight when they brought his cake out, and we couldn’t stop smiling! But it got even better… as we were invited to the Birthday Party at the British High Commissioner’s residence, and we got all dressed up and went to party-yes we couldn’t believe ourselves at this amazing event, and of course we sat at a table right up front next to the Dutch Royal family, and FW De Klerk. What an event! We brought along our Charly’s Bakery song- “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, by Israel Kamakawi’ole and they played it when they brought out the cake. A very proud moment for us Proudly South African Charly’s Chicks!

So a very exciting day for Charly’s Bakery – We made President Thabo Mbeki’s 65th birthday cake and delivered it to Parliament this morning. The cake was our delicous Wicked chocolate cake- 3 tiers, and was iced in the ANC colours- We piped Happy Birthday Mr President on the middle tier, in gold, and put edible images of our President’s face in the shape of a green Africa, as well as edible ANC flags, all around the sides of the cake. We put a gold number 65 on top of the cake. Look in our recent pictures section for a photo of The Cake!
It looked Mucking Afazing- fit for a President in fact!

Hellooo…

In December 2005 we got a phonecall from “Let’s Fix it” (A program on E-TV which makes dreams come true for people who can’t afford to make their own dreams come true) to ask us if we would like to sponsor a christmas party for 30 pensioners in Athlone- our response “ABSOLUTELY!”
So we called up a friend who owns a decor company (Nadine from Theme Creations 0828550918) to ask if she would like to come onboard and do the decor for the party- her response “ABSOLUTELY!”
And so it happened- we did a selection of chocolate cupcakes with each pensioners name piped on each cupcake, a selection of bright red vanilla petit fours with gold stars and christmas trees piped on each one, Wicked chocolate cake “Flower Pots” each planted with a red rose and touched with our edible gold paint, christmas tree shaped cookies, homemade sweeti-pies painted with gold edible paint and wicked chocolate cake covered in white icing with red roses in the centre. Nadine and her team did an unbelievable job with the decor using red roses, gold base plates, gold organza saches at the back of each chair, christmas crackers and LOADSSSS more.
The party was an unbelievable hit, but it didn’t end there…
Next up was a christmas party for 500 underprivlidged children in Belville. We did 5 cakes each served 100 kids- we did a range of chocolate and vanilla cakes covered in white buttericing with christmas trees, stars and candy canes piped in bright colours on each cake. The kids went CRAZY- they had an AMAZING time and we had enough cake to feed every child twice.
The show was aired on Christmas day 2005- where they showed an interview with me (Alex) and my sister Dani setting up each party and discussing what we had done- FAME AT LAST!

I have attached a photo of the pensioners christmas party for everyone to see.
Have a FABULOUS day and watch this space for lots more blogging.

Hi,
So another crazy day at Charly’s Bakery, but alas we have all survived and come out with a smile on our faces
Today I (Alex) got a phonecall from Meg Ryan’s PA (she’s in Cape Town filming her latest movie to those who havn’t heard yet) so… the phonecall… I was sitting in the office doing as I normally do, when the phone rings “Charly’s Hello” I answer, and on the other side of the line was an American accent “Hi, I was recomended to you by the Mount Nelson Hotel, I am looking for a chocolate birthday cake for the makeup artist on Meg Ryans latest movie set” now I’m thinking YAY, another celebrity to add to our already amazing list of celebrities we’ve done cakes for (Oprah, Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, Thabo Mbeki, Eric Stoltz… just to name a few), so I recomended our Wicked Chocolate cake (our #1seller to those who haven’t tasted yet, you should!), they said they need enough cake for 30 people so I suggested doing 2 cakes which each serve around 16, so off I went in my creative mind- what on earth can I do to impress the celebrities… and then I got it… I need to just do what we do best. So I did it, 2 wicked chocolate cakes, 1 iced in an elegant feel with gold writing, red roses and gold goie goie (goie goie is basically us splatting cake around the cake- think Jackson Pollock) and the other iced in hot pink, lime green, orange and yellow with lips, hearts and daisies piped around the edge (see our photo gallery for examples of what I’m talking about) and there they were… 2 more masterpieces created by ME… Maybe soon we’ll be jetting off all over the world to make more cakes for celebrities.
Ok so that’s it for now.. I hope you’ve enjoyed the first of hopefully many blog entries on the Charly’s Bakery site…
Alex (THE Charly’s Chick)
