Sweet Sensation!

During the recent pandemic lockdown many may have noticed a new business popping up on their Facebook and Instagram feeds – ‘Honey I Shrunk the Desserts.’
These mysterious producers of tiny treats were delivering locals six packs of desserts to brighten their day during lockdown.


We were determined to discover who was behind the new venture and we have! Local businesswomen and long time friends Kathie Teasdale and Carly Wilkins.


The duo were looking at exploring the possibility of starting the business when Covid-19 took hold. They decided to test the waters and make up some boxes of mini desserts to gift to locals doing it tough or needing a pick me up during the pandemic and to their surprise it took off!


Buoyed by the interest in their business idea the pair fast-tracked the registration of Kathie’s kitchen and set about establishing their catering business. See the Mail for the full story. Out Now.
