Sweeties by Dan
Hi Sweeties! Due to NZ being in level 4 lockdown, I had some unexpected time up my sleeve to record this episode! This is one of two episodes about my new shop. This episode chats about what led to my decision to leave my home kitchen and find a commercial space. The next episode will be about the actual fit out process and opening! If you have any questions for that episode, or want to leave feedback for this one, find us on instagram @letschatsweeties

Hi Sweeties! This episode was recorded about a month ago now, but I thought it was still a useful one to share! Sorry for the absence in episodes, the last month has been crazy busy! But I am back and can't wait to record some new episodes! This one is all about my hobby turning into self employment and the pros and cons I have found so far. If anything, I hope it gives at least one of you the push to follow your dreams! I believe in you!

Heya! In this weeks episode I chat about my opinion on the instagram stories that often do the rounds, saying we should stop glorifying a toxic hustle lifestyle and look after ourselves better. I have wanted to talk about this for many months, so now that I have a podcast platform I thought it would be the perfect place. I also let you guys know everything I know about attending a market day as a cake stall. From the equipment you need, to my tips to a successful market day. Follow us on the @letschatsweeties insta!

Hello Sweeties! My most requested pod episode is here. This week I chat all things registering your home kitchen for cakes. I have gone into as much detail as I could, and I hope this is helpful for you! Please let me know your feedback on the @letschatsweeties instagram. Disclaimer as per pod: This podcast is based around registering your home kitchen in Hamilton, NZ as at March 2021. As discussed, every council, every baker, every home will have different requirements so please do your own research and contact your local council for specific advice to your situation. I have provided advice based on my experience.
Hi Sweeties! This weeks episode I chat with the mega talented Karin who is the incredible woman behind Sweet Little Treat. If you aren't familiar with Karin (where have you been?!), I recommend pulling up her instagram @sweetlittletreatcakes before listening to this episode to check out the amazing cakes she is referring to throughout the episode. This one was so much fun to record and we hope you enjoy! Make sure to follow our pod instagram @letschatsweeties. Would love to hear your feedback!
Hi Sweeties! In this episode it's just me chatting about tips I have found that help me to create consistent quality cakes & buttercream. As I mention in the podcast, there is no such thing as a "perfect" cake and I am always learning, but I am often asked questions about buttercream so thought it was a good place to share my tips! I also answer some of the caker questions that I didn't have time for in the first episode! Hope you enjoy - please jump over to the Let's Chat Sweeties instagram to leave any feedback or suggestions for future episodes. Thanks, Dan X
