    It's a Monday. It's the middle of winter in New Zealand & it's pouring outside.  I wake up to the news of one of Auckland's iconic restaurants, SQPR, closing down & being put into liquidation.

Last year our team could make & sell about 1500 Crème Brûlée's per week so we were hoping for slightly higher this year. Last week we made & sold OVER 3000+ (!!) in just Crème Brûlée Cookie Cups ALONE. So we have hand-made over DOUBLE what we did last year 😱 Our team...
