Thank you so much, Miss Nicky!!!
Your toffees were, as usual, an enormous hit! Wiped clean! You are so talented, and The Grove said they are enamored with your work as well.
Much love and thanks!

Dear Nicky:
Thank you for the wonderful donation of your delicious almond toffee and your new Mazel-toffee to Homeless Solutions for our Dream Builders Bash Silent Auction. We received great feedback from our guests about the variety of our auction items.
Bash guests enjoyed using the BidPal for the first time to place their bids. The BidPal is a hand held device (like an Ipod Touch) that catalogs all the items and lets the bidder place and track their bid electronically. As an auction donor, your company’s name was listed and acknowledged in each BidPal which were used by over 230 guests at the Bash.
We are ‘grateful for your participation in the 1i h Annual Dream Builders’ Bash which raised over $135,000 in net proceeds for our shelter programs. Your partnership enables us to provide housing, supportive services, and hope for homeless men, women and children.
We look forward to your continued support of Homeless Solutions and the Dream Builders Bash!
With much appreciation,
Stephanie M. Cicale
Director of Development
Dear Nicky:
Many thanks for your generosity in contributing the delicious baked goods for our community service night at Bradford School back in December. We heard many “oohs” and “aahs” from the folks (and their kids) who attended. “The almond toffee brittle was awesome,” said one child. (And one mother remarked that she wanted to hide the box of almond toffee brittle somewhere so she could eat the whole thing.) There were a lot of cheers for the rum cake and the banana-split cupcakes, too.
We hope you know that we promoted your goodies a couple of times throughout the evening. Of course, Mesiah Event Planners was highlighted and officially thanked in the January issue of our school’s monthly newsletter, which goes home to parents in the children’s backpacks.
Thanks again. We appreciate your involvement in our school event and your help in making the evening such a scrumptious one.
Sincerely,
Cassandra Bollinger – Corresponding Secretary
Bradford PTA
Dear Nicky
On behalf of the Montclair Scholarship Fund, we want to express our deep gratitude for your generous donation of your delicious toffee and cookies for the October 22, 2011 “Back in the Day” fundraiser benefiting the Gary F. Whitlock Memorial Scholarship.
Since the founding of this scholarship in 2006, thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we have awarded $24,000 in scholarships to Montclair High graduating seniors now attending The New Jersey Institute of Technology, Morehouse College, Hampton University, Pennsylvania State University, Syracuse University and Rutgers University, respectively, and established a $100,000 endowment for the scholarship.
Again, many thanks for your support.
Sincerely,

Dear Miss Nicky
Thank you so much for helping to make our Second Annual Cooked and Uncorked Food and Wine Festival such a huge success! It was a SOLD-OUT event. Some of the feedback we received was … “The best food and wine event / have ever been to”… ” / am definitely going to make a reservation at that restaurant”… “what an amazing cross-section of restaurants”… and “great, extensive selection of wines and spirits”. There was also one unanimous request, “/ hope you are going to continue this every year”.
The success of our event would not have been possible without your generosity and the generosity of another 38 restaurants, 15 wine distributors, and 12 fire departments; all willing to showcase one of their signature dishes or wines to the nearly 850 guests in attendance that evening. We hope you enjoyed the event as much as our guests.
We are proud of the enormous media coverage that we received that evening. We had reporters from FIOS I, News 12, the Star Ledger, and Tri-County Journal. We feel confident that this year’s coverage will help to make next year’s event even larger and more successful.
Again, thank you for being a part of a very special evening and we hope to see you again next year. Mark your calendar for January 28, 2013.
Sincerely,
Chief J. Michael Roberts
FMBA Co-Chairman

Debbie and I said many thanks (and a few extra pounds!!) for the delicious toffee. what a lovely and generous package you sent! we shared some of the toffee with coleagues, and I can report that you have a large fan club here at Eagleton.

Nicky,
I should have videotaped them going after the toffee!! At first, they regarded it suspiciously, wondering if they could just take some…then, the word got around and they went after it with a vengeance! When they indicated that it was time to go into the dining room for the festivities, I heard people say, “I’m going to get one last piece of that toffee!!!!”
What a scream!

Dearest Nicky,
My birthday may have come and gone, but the sweet memories remain. Thank you dear, for the glorious cake, toffee and berries… and most of all, thank you for the delicious, delightful friendship!
Nicky
Thank you so much for the graduation cookies. They were a level of delicious that was quite literally impossible to describe. The only thing that would make your gift better is if you would come pick up your jar so I could finally see you for the first time in so long!
Thank you.

Hello
I live in Montclair and discovered your amazing toffee at Spice It Up a couple of years ago, and it is now my favorite teacher’s gift treat (and treat for myself at the holidays). I just noticed that Spice It Up is closing – would it be possible for me to put in an order directly to you and pick it up? I won’t need it until mid-December but I’m already planning my gifts. I can’t bear to go through the holiday without some of your delicious toffee.
Thank you.

I didn’t know you would be there — otherwise I would have picked up myself! That was my husband, Vince, picking up. As always, everything was absolutely superb. Marilyn and I are always under a microscope when our southern relatives come up to visit — always defending our Northern upbringing and proving that we still know how to serve a decent meal. Our dessert offerings increased our stock considerably.
Thanks for helping to make our family gathering extra special and delicious. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cakes and the cupcakes.
Take Care,
Lynne

Rob and I are most grateful to you for all your efforts to make our evening the delightful, delicious, relaxing and carefree evening that it was. All of my guests were appreciative of the wonderful food and the gracious service and you made it all possible.
A friend of mine from Short Hills called yesterday AM for your name and number for an event she is having I believe before year-end, so am hopeful this will be yet another referral for you. With my business people often ask for all sorts of referrals so it will be a pleasure to recommend you now for not just wonderful desserts, but for all their party and event needs.
Would like to invite you to lunch in then near future as a thank you for your efforts. I shall give you a ring next week after the guests have all left so we can plan something.
Also any time you might need Maison for an event for your friend just call me.
Warm wishes,
Mary-Anne
