Hi there! I’m Cheryl, the one behind the scenes making all the delicious treats. Born and raised in South Africa, I trained as a chef and hotel manager in Durban, KZN. My love for confectionery and pastry runs deep, and I’ve been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember.

As a mom to three girls, I wanted to find something I could do that worked around their busy schedules. I initially opened a beauty salon, but when COVID hit, I had to close it down. That’s when I turned to my background in food science and my passion for creating quality confections. I set out on a mission to create the perfect fudge.

Let me tell you, “Fudge my life!” was all I could say during the week I came up with the recipe!

I spent hours tweaking an old Zimbabwean recipe, determined to recreate a childhood favourite of mine. It was a melt-in-your-mouth, decadent treat I used to buy at my school tuck shop, and I would save every coin just to get one piece. After 16 batches and a lot of frustration, Fudge My Life was born.

But my journey didn’t stop there. Another favourite from my childhood was zoo biscuits—a household staple that brought so much joy. When I couldn’t find them anymore, I decided to create my own version. This project led me to develop a full product line of personalized biscuits that people now love and enjoy.I come by my confectionery skills honestly. My grandmother was a well-known icing judge and cake maker in South Africa. She taught me many of the skills I use today as I was growing up, and she continues to inspire and guide me. She’s even the editor of Sugar Craft magazine, and her expertise has been an invaluable part of my journey.

This business is more than just a job to me—it’s a blend of my passion and creativity, all wrapped up in a beautiful, pink package. Every piece is made with so much love and care, and each batch is personally quality-tested by me. My kitchen proudly holds a 5-star hygiene rating, and I source my ingredients locally. Our fudge contains no preservatives, uses only the finest organic ingredients, and is gluten-free too!

I truly appreciate all my amazing customers—without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Thank you for your support!
