Sunday was a busy day for our event order's, one of our lovely customers wanted something else to go alongside the Fudge & Marshmallows, so I thought I'd try a new recipe Chocolate Bark.. I have never made it before but thought hey it looks easy enough and it honestly was, I loved making it! It's one of those treats where you can get creative, I kind of just made up my own recipe, my first tray of bark was Belgian Milk Chocolate, Honeycomb pieces and drizzled with White Belgian Chocolate, popped back into the fridge to set then just...

I love making Sweet Cone orders, to much temptation to eat them!!! we are disciplined though I promise!  This week's order was for a Frozen Princess Party, how lovely! so we went for Heart shaped Mallows, Jazzie Spinning Tops, Jelly Hearts & Pink Shrimps, all things girly, we love the food side of our business, creating yummy things for Special Occasions. Another favourite of mine is the Unicorn Cones, we have also had orders for Weddings & Baby Shower's, they pretty much cover any occasion, along with our very popular Pic n Mix Boxes, these were a huge hit for...

Soap Flowers make perfect gifts, wedding favours, or a little treat for yourself of course! these fascinated me last year when we first stocked them, as they actually look like real flowers! you add just one or two flowers to a warm bath and the cute petals just dissolve, creating colourful water and a great scent, leaving your skin so soft. Even though I loved these immediately, I wanted to trial them a bit more before they...

The idea of our new blog is so you can see what we get up to behind the scenes at Manipura Gifts, often we take to social media to keep you updated, but we thought this was more of a personal touch. It's all a learning curve, right?! February has been a particularly busy month for us with Valentine's Day, this is one of my favourite times of the year, because I love everything hearts! I think my favourite thing of the month has to be our strawberry shortcake homemade Fudge, a new flavour that I have not tried before,...
