Quick party updates

Thank you everyone for the immense number of emails, registrations, phone calls and new newsletter subscriptions (if you haven’t already signed up for our newsletter, please do so on our frontpage!)

These 2 weeks has been very busy for us, we have sold out almost all our French Affair parties, with 1 last one being held on 3 April, 4pm, which is filling up fast too. Conversely, the American Party has not been as popular as the French Affair. Personally, I think it’s not that it is not a great menu, but more that it’s been completely overshadowed by the French! Anyway, we are still running 1 session for that on 3 April, 10.30am. To encourage more sign ups, we’ve lowered the party fee to just $80. So if you want something fun to do on Saturday morning, you know where to book!

After this series of French and American sessions, we will be going back to doing the Spanish Flamboyant Fun Party. The last time we held this party, we sold out almost all the parties too. So in honour of our Citybeat appearance, we are bringing it back for 1 week only. This one with a DIY Sangria station, seafood paella and churros and hot chocolate – guaranteed fun!

Then we will move into the NEW and super delicious Freshest Italian Flavours party. We are so excited about this one, it’s surely gonna rock some socks! We’ll be experimenting on the dishes leading up to that party so do check out our facebook page for more updates on that and other random things!

That will bring us to the end of April, and into the May sessions. May’s highlight – The Divalicious Mum’s Day menu. We’ve deliberately priced that party at an affordable rate of $80 so you can give Mum a treat for all the times she has been so great. Never too early to plan, so remember to book your slots before they are all sold out!

We’ll be doing the newsletter for the April parties soon, we’ve just been so busy that we haven’t got around to it yet. But we will! So remember to sign up for our newsletter!

In the meantime, keep Cookyn, folks!
