Di Licious - Cupcakes, Sweets n' Treats!
This weeks feature small business is Di..Licious and its run by a mother and daughter team right here in Ipswich.
Imagine, catching up with your friends for a quiet cuppa and a scrumptious cupcake..next to you your children are entertaining themselves in the kids corner and you hear their squeals of delight as they get their baby cupcake!
Well you can do exactly this, at Di..Licious - downstairs at the Old Flour Mill in Ipswich!
Over the last two years this quaint business has grown in leaps and bounds.
Originally Renee used to buy cupcakes from her mother Dianne for morning tea where she worked and they were always a huge hit with all the staff.
News of the fantastic cupcakes soon spread and the mother and daughter team started doing their local markets as well for a bit of fun and socialising and to share their delicious treats with others.
The cupcakes were so popular though that the business soon needed both Dianne and Renee there full time to bake and decorate their creations and get them out to people, so Renee gave up work to become her mothers partner in the cupcake business – they have not looked back since.
Today they have a gorgeous cozy store at the Old Flour Mill building at the top of Ipswich where they sell their yummy cakes and other assorted goodies from Tuesday to Saturday each week.
Di..Licious currently have 25 flavours of cupcakes that they create and those are: Lemon.licious, Turkish Delight, Choc Fudge, Choc Devils Food, Choc Coco.licious, Mint, Plain White Choc, Coconut Ice, Carrot, Passion Fruit, Banana Delight, Coffee, Mallow Madness, Oreo, Jaffa, Rocky Road, Toblerone, Strawberry, Plain Choc, Caramel, Bee.licious Honeycomb, Maltesers, Coconut Rough, Lamington Angels and Orange. They also sell assorted biscuits – like macadamia and white chocolate, chocolate chip, peanut and chocolate, cornflake biscuits, Itty Bitty Spotty Dotties and everyone’s favourite, melting moments.
They also have gluten free biscuits for those with special needs.
Di..Licious recently made up a special order of 1,000 cupcakes for Gatton University of Queensland for an event they were staging and they had great feedback and lots of fun getting those ready for them.
They can also create gorgeous cupcakes for weddings and baby showers, all you need to do is discuss your needs with them and pick out the cake flavour you want and how you want it to look.
Just organise it two weeks before they are needed, the rest is fuss free and fantastic quality.
You can even hire assorted cupcake stands from them to display your tastey treats on your special day. They have mixed small stands from $10.00 (plus deposit) right up to wedding cake stands which are only $50.00 to hire with a $100.00 refundable deposit.
What better way to display your stunning assortment of scrummy cupcakes?!
Biscuits can also be made to order for special events like the cupcakes can and a great time to have these on hand are for the biggest morning tea’s!
All orders are strictly pick up only unless you have pre arranged for them to be delivered.
If you want a special treat for your childs loot bags, then you can pick up a wide variety of lollies at the store as well..they also have pre made loot bags for busy mums.
They sell a range of different sized cup cakes from mini bite size’d ones for $2.00, regular sized cupcakes are $3.00, texas (large) cupcakes are $6.00, round cupcakes are $10.00 and giant cupcakes are $50.00, so there is DEFINATELY something for everyone!
We had one of our son’s 21st birthday this last weekend and of course we got these talented ladies to make up cupcakes for him. I could not believe how easy it was to organise. I was extremely happy with the cupcakes and the price was excellent so I was also able to get him a ‘round’ cupcake with his name and 21 on it with a special black and white cow made up on top. He LOVED his special cupcake and it was the centrepiece of the cupcake stand! (which I hired for a very reasonable cost)
The cupcakes were fabulous and exactly right, we had half vanilla and half chocolate cupcakes and half were white butter icing with little black stars on them with white 21’s on them and the other half had white butter icing with black chocolate ‘jaffa’ balls on top.
Because we have readers from all over Australia and beyond, Dianne and Renee from Di..Licious are offering as a treat for their giveaway for this feature the choice of either $10.00 of cupcakes from their shop if you are local OR if you are not local you can get a $10.00 lolly pack sent to you..so a great choice of excellent prizes!
To be in the draw all you have to do is go to the Di..Licious blog page and look up the cupcake flavours and post a comment here on our blog in the comments section at the end of this feature - and state which flavour of cupcake you think sounds best – now how easy is THAT??

Cheeky Chuckles revamped!
I have done a feature on Jo Hill and Cheeky Chuckles before but I thought I would re feature her small business as she has expanded to include a variety of fantastic new products, some of which I have had the opportunity to try out for myself and some which I will soon get to try out on my children on their birthdays.
So without further interruptions here is Jo Hill's story..
Jo started Cheeky Chuckles in 2007 after having problems finding products she needed for night time toilet training, such as bed protection. Jo researched and found an awesome product - BD's Bed Mats for Kids. Suddenly there was no need to change all the sheets after those little accidents in the middle of the night!
Jo mentioned the bed mats to friends and they soon wanted them too. There were no retailers in South Australia, so Jo became the state agent and now she supplies them all over the country, along with other helpful products.
Jo likes to support Australian made where possible, and her products are carefully selected and tested before they go on the market.
Cheeky Chuckles currently stock their original BD's Bed Mat's, Bodelicious, Hemer, Wee Target & Little Leggies, and are gradually expanding their range as they find suitable products to share with their followers. The following is a small snippet of some of the great products that Jo and Cheeky Chuckles have available right now!
BD's Bed Mat's are a gem in the middle of the night, a totally waterproof fabric mat that is easily removable with no need to change wet sheets. They are a GREAT product designed and made in Australia. I must add a note to this one, I had a bed wetter in my household. She would worry that she would wet the bed every night and get so upset when she did. I ordered a BD's Bed Mat off Jo and my daughter loved it and with no need to worry if she wet the bed anymore, she was soon no longer a long term bed wetter and she says it was all because of her bed mat, which gave her confidence..so I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone with either a long term bedwetter like I had (she wet the bed till she was over 10 years) or if you are starting to look at night training your toddler.
They dont get caught up in the sheets either as they have generous sides that tuck under the mattress to hold it in place firmly. These mats can handle a bigger child wetting the mat without overflowing onto the bed as well, so would be good even for older people, or people who are needing to be bedridden for a while etc.
%2520of%2520Babylicious%2520girl.jpg)
Bodelicious products are just divine and they have a range of babylicious products that include baby soaps and lotions to our all time favourite chocolate indulgence body scrub.
Hemer have the most gorgeous range of products, from ballet tutu's, singlets, aprons and bookbags for children, as well as many more products in different and fun designs.
All products are designed by a very talented Australian artist/designer.
Wee Targets are great little products designed to help boys aim correctly whilst toilet training. Whoever thought going to the toilet could be so much fun! Wee Targets were designed by an Australian mum and featured on New Inventors!
Jo's newest addition to her range is Little Leggies. The kiddies love them! They are a great size, up to 30cm long, meaning they will fit babies, toddlers and even older kids.
They are designed and made in South Australia by Jo herself! She will be adding more to her range very soon, so stay tuned.
Jo sent me a GORGEOUS pair of these leggings in a fantastic LIME GREEN to do a review on as well. I knew my grand daughter would LOVE them (especially the fantastic bright colour) but I was really surprised that my two daughters also loved them. For my girls they tried them on their legs but it wasn't until they tried them on as arm warmers that they Ohhh'd and Ahhhh'd over them and asked if they could also get a pair in blue so they could wear them to school. SO these fantastic leggings get a thumbs up from all the girls at our house! They are great quality and unlike a lot of others are in a bright and happy single colour which makes the mixing and matching with things I found easier than having patterns on them. They will be fantastic for winter for school as well, as when they get hot they can take them off and pop them into their bag during autumn when they dont really want to wear a jumper and have to lug that around when they get hot. For Miss Haylee my grand daughter, they were excellent for her legs, perfect fit with room to grow without looking bulky and after running around with my girls and heating up..we just pulled the leggings off her and she kept on playing. WONDERFUL things! I HIGHLY recommend them for any ages!

Jo would like to say a big thanks to all those that have supported and inspired her to pursue her dream, and she hopes to chat with you all very soon.
Jo has a great facebook page HERE and her website can be found HERE
Jo is offering 3 FANTASTIC PRIZES up for grabs for this feature post. To be in the draw you must comment on the blog here at the end of this feature blog post (just click on comments and if you have any trouble commenting let me know) with what product from Cheeky Chuckles online store they would either love to TRY or that they have TRIED and LOVE..now HOW EASY IT THAT???

1 x Wee Target
1 x Tutu or
1 x chocolate indulgence soap
so with your comment put in which prize you would like as well so we can work on getting you the gift of your choice as well (after all you wouldn't need a Tutu for example if you only have boys..unless its for a gift of course!)

La Toriana!
La Toriana was established by Elizabeth in 2006 when she found it hard to go out shopping for special and unique presents for babies and children at birthdays and other special events, for their own children and also for family and friends.
Elizabeth would look through stylish glossy magazines and see beautiful designer clothes, toys and accessories for babies and children that she would have loved to have gone out to see and buy, but with a small child of her own to take with her getting out to the shops was difficult, especially since she lived in the country.
So Elizabeth decided to set up a place where you could shop in the comfort of your own home, anytime that suited you, day – or night..and so La Toriana was born!
La Toriana has the latest releases and newest trends in the fashion and gift industry in their retail online store and Elizabeth is constantly doing market research to make sure she always has the highest quality products at affordable prices available to you along with excellent customer service.
