Collinsvale Market - Nov 13th 2011

I have been granted my temporary food permit for the upcoming Collinsvale Market, to be held in the School hall on Sunday 13th November between 10am - 2pm.
I will have my assistant, Jake, with me; he'll be 6 weeks old by then.
When I get the chance, I am going to try a new cookie recipe - a combination of oats and white chocolate.
Just for something different at this market I will be trialing different packaging options.   Feedback from the past 2 markets I have done has given me an insight into what people want - and that is variety!
So I plan to combine 3 biscuit types (4 cookies of each) into one larger package of 12 cookies.
I have also purchased some window bags for those who have a particular favourite cookie and want 10 in the same pack.
Another option (more so for gifting), is a rectangular window box - not certain yet on sizes and pricing, but will have 10 boxes on offer at the Collinsvale Market.  
It is a Christmas themed market, however my cookies are best consumed within 7 days.  I would love to do Christmas tins one year - the perfect Kris Kringle gift - maybe there will be another market just around the corner for me!

Collinsvale Market - Nov 13th 2011

Hello

Just looking into the possibility of being a Stallholder at the upcoming Collinsvale Market in November.
This will be my 3rd market, and my first market since the birth of our second son, who is now 3 weeks old.
Just wondering if more people will stop at my stall to look at my cookies or our newborn?

Winter 2011

Well it's been a while between cookies, but I am back in Hobart and ready to embrace the market scene again.  Hoping to be a stall holder at the Valley Market in Lenah Valley on Sunday 21st August 2011, so updates shall follow if I am successful.
I would really like to focus on baking cookies for children in the future - having a son with multiple food allergies has changed my cooking style and heightened my awareness about what can be purchased when we're out and about.
All of my cookies are egg free and nut free, although I cannot guarantee that there are no traces of these products especially when using other ingredients like choc chips and cornflakes.
So I hope to introduce one or two new cookies to try at the next market....
