Massive summer fudge release! (And a somewhat embarrassing plea) Howdy fudge fans! Summer's here, and with it a massively expanded range of sweet, sticky deliciousness from the Fudjit labs! We've got 22 different flavours on the market for your delectation and delight, so don't delay and go grab some summer sugar soon as you can. On a more serious note, due to greatly increased costs and decreased market takes across the board (People just don't have as much spending money as they used to) I'm in a bit of a bind. Right now after managing pretty well for three years I'm no longer making enough from Fudjit to cover my monthly bills and enjoy such things as 'food' and 'not panicking about where the next penny is coming from'. I can keep going for maybe a few more months if things don't change, but as a small businessman times are hard as all hell. I'm not asking for charity, but I would absolutely love to sell you lovely people as much fudge as I possibly can, if only to ensure said fudge will still be present in the future. As a disabled autistic dude who's only ever been chewed up and spat out by the system when trying to work normal jobs, being able to be my own boss has basically been a lifesaver and the idea of having to pack it all in and go back to working for someone else absolutely terrifies me on a visceral level. Each time I have it's ended up with me ultimately too sick to do anything for periods of years and I really don't want to go down that road again. There's multiple options I'm exploring to diversify my business a bit; to explore new avenues and methods of trade while remaining true to Fudjit's original core values. But all of these take time to pan out, and as it stands I'm not going to be able to pay my monthly bills at the end of next week after a particularly disastrous event this weekend. The one thing I do have going for me right now is an absolute gently caress-ton of amazing fudge in stock in a huge variety of flavours; some old and some brand new. So please, if you are able to afford to (I know everyone here will be feeling the pinch just as I am), grab yourself a few bars and help a fudge-baron out. That was not easy on the ego to write, so on a more happy note here's our flavour list at the moment. Current Flavours * Original Vanilla * Unicorn Barf * Chilli and Lime * Cookies and Cream * Irish Cream * Whisky and Candied Ginger * Cafe Americano * Strawberry Milkshake - Revised recipe! Now even more delicious- tastes like a Nobbly Bobbly ice-lolly * Rum and Raisin * Peanut Butter - Returning from my very first cook back in 2019, shot full of lovely crunchy peanut butter. * Chocolate Honeycomb * Chocolate Crisp * Chai Latte * Oranges and Lemons * Caramilk * Pretzelicious * Cheesecake * Maple-pecan * Chocolate Chip Cookie * Lemon Meringue Pie * Vegan Chocolate * Veganana- Vegan banana fudge with organic banana chips All stock is now live and available at https://www.fudjit.co.uk for £4 + P&P per 100g bar. And as always you can use the goon code 'Roastbeefisbest' to get 5-for-4 at checkout. Orders are shipped with Royal Mail 1st class, tracked. And thanks guys. Even if it turns out I can't keep Fudjit going then at least it's been a hell of a ride over the past three and a half years, and I'd never have even got started if it wasn't for this coterie of internet communists. All the best, and get fudged!

Holy loving poo poo. Wife took me out to the cinema to stop me walking around the house fretting so I’ve been offline for the past three hours. Just turned my phone back on and it nearly crashed from all the notifications of people viewing my website and placing orders. Rest assured my bills will be paid, the kitties will continue to be fed the enormous amount the little gannets demand and the fudge will continue to flow that bit longer. I really am quite overwhelmed, to the point of tears. The post office are going to loving /hate/ me tomorrow lol

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Do have a think about 'corporate labelling'. Our charity has an important anniversary next year so I could suggest we get some branded fudge in as a fund riser (obviously no guarantees but if it's a possibility, I could raise it with the powers that be.) Some of your varieties are longlife aren't they? Sadly the comparatively short shelf-life is the big thing holding me back from doing large-scale retail: even refrigerated you’re looking at two to three months tops before you start risking spoilage. I just refuse to use preservatives, and given the softness/moistness of my fudge it means it doesn’t last as long as waxy mass produced stuff. I could certainly look into making tablet though, for longer endurance stuff!

Total Meatlove posted:Fudge goon spend money on a 6x4 label printer and sticky labels and the post office will collect your parcels from you I use business drop-and-go so I just print off the labels, pay money into the account and hand over a bag of parcels. However my village post office is very small indeed, so they might get a bit snowed under!

Welp, my workroom is now full of a double stack of parcels as tall as I am- for the record I’ve not had this many online orders in one go since Christmas 2021. All orders received thus far will be shipping out in an hour or two. And thank you again, goons. So very much. Ngl, it was seriously looking like I’d have to fold in the near future and now that’s not on the cards at all!

The Perfect Element posted:Jesus camrath, that lime and chili fudge is NOT loving around!! Literally made me laugh out loud as I ate it. Just brilliant.  I use Birdseye chillies for the heat. I also sauté them in the butter at the start of the process to extract the capsaicin- this is why the heat doesn’t get you straight off, but rather as it melts on your tongue.

For what it’s worth Ian Bruce (of the Correspondents) is an Etonian non-oval office. Really nice guy- my brother directed one of his videos and he painted a loving amazing portrait of me. Frank Turner, while he makes great music, is a full-on Etonian oval office sadly.

Very apt timing for this topic, as I’ve been rewriting my will and letter of last wishes over the past few days. It’s a weird feeling planning your own future funeral, but I’ve been having some fun with it. When I die my entire posh family will be forced to sing the Internationale and then get high and drunk in my memory. Oh, and I’m getting buried with my handmade broadsword and my dice box and dice. Partly so I’m ready to meet either friends or enemies should there turn out to be an afterlife, but mostly because I really want to confuse future archeologists.

Gort posted:spend less on swords Most of them were actually gifts. One of my childhood best friends came from a family of antique dealers and passed a lot of stuff my way for birthdays etc. I will admit to feeling /very/ cool on my 12th birthday unwrapping a Burmese executioner’s sword. Tesla was right posted:Hey Camrath, I hope the fudjit sales were good in Stockport last weekend. I shopped at your stall but shied away from asking the nice lad if he had stairs in his house because he seemed confused enough that I already knew what the chilli lime fudge was like. Hah, that would be my apprentice and good buddy Russ- I was away in the woods playing at being a cowboy all weekend, as one does. Thank you so much for stopping by  The market treated us well in terms of trade so we’ll certainly be back for future Makers Markets there!

I went for the first time since I was a kid for my birthday last year (midweek in mid September) and the place was almost empty despite the weather being good. Rode nemesis three times in an hour, Oblivion about the same. gently caress that was a good day.

I dunno, next week I have to go to a three day wedding across the entire bank holiday. Now /that/ is a selfish move. Got three seperate events that I’m having to scramble people to cover rather than just doing them myself. Also my marriage is Not Doing Well and I’m loving dreading the entire thing emotionally but that’s a whole different kettle of fish.

Trainee PornStar posted:Condolences mate, I know how that fucks with your head. We’re doing counselling and apparently making progress according to our counsellor. But poo poo be hard. It’s a hosed up combo of my own shittiness (ok, not without cause/reason but I ended up getting into some really bad behaviour patterns) and her having confusion about sexuality, gender, poo poo like that. Throw in some mild cheating on her part tied in to the above and yeah. Still trying to fix things though. Still love her and she says she still loves me.

I found an ancient HP laser jet 4700 on FB marketplace a few years ago for a hundred quid. Best printer I ever owned- it’s reliable, fast, I get a ridiculous amount of pages from each cartridge.. Ok it’s USB or wired Ethernet only and probably dates from the early noughties but it just works.
