“There is also a large stock of sugar-free sweets, halal sweets, pick and mix cones and chocolates and I also make custom made sweet cones for birthdays, wedding favours, and other events.
“With Easter coming I have in stock a large selection of Easter Eggs, also I will be making custom made Easter Baskets to your own design.”
