Well! Everything seems to be coming along nicely! My wonderful boyfriend is working hard on getting the website ready and we're planning a photo shoot this weekend - which will mean lots of brownie baking!
I've decided to keep it simple initially on the brownie flavours, just 4 to start off with, and possibly a monthly special. We'll see how that goes and take it from there.
I discovered some 94% cocoa solids chocolate in Tesco last week and am very excited to try that out, I suspect it will be delicious! The thing with brownies, is that they have such a high sugar content (this is what makes them so deliciously fudgey...and very naughty!) that only chocolate with a very high cocoa content is strong enough. I usually use Green & Blacks Organic 72% chocolate, so this new stuff should be a great chocolate hit!
I tried out some blondies last week, I got the recipe from Sainsburys and although delicious, I always thought blondies were made with white chocolate rather than dark, and did think that these came out a bit "cakey", rather than fudgey. Having said that, they really were yummy! I might do some research into new blondie recipes though, when I have the time!
So, we're still on track for "going live" on 1st January 2011, just in time to combat those post-Christmas blues - what could be better than a chocolate brownie to cheer you up!
Again, I'd like to ask anyone who's been lucky enough to receive a box of brownies as a birthday present this year, to go to my website and leave some feedback, as any suggestions are always very welcome!
With that in mind, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me by email: sales@simplybrownies.co.uk
