& Edible Art at its Best!

A lot of our overseas customers appreciate that they can order through Gretel’s website and get products delivered to their Kiwi friends or families.

However, on one occasion, one of Gretel’s friends who lives in Switzerland ordered corporate gifts for his customers in Switzerland. After some discussion we came to the conclusion that postage would be more expensive than the products so Gretel outsourced his order to Angi, a qualified pastry chef who still works in Gretel’s country of origin. She happily accepted this order for which we were very grateful. 

The little chicks and bunnies in different designs are just adorable and are ideal to bring along to school, use as Easter table decorations or to hang on an Easter Tree. 

Easter is the oldest Christian holiday and considered by many to be the most important. Easter marks the end of Lent, the death of Jesus of Nazareth on Good Friday and his resurrection from the dead three days later on Easter Sunday. The word "Easter" was derived from the name Eostre, the pagan goddess of fertility and birth. Christians adapted that name as a symbol to tie in the celebration of Christ's resurrection being a new birth.
