Offering a present can be an utterly&#13;<br \/>\nrewarding habit, in that it enables you to see, in the eyes of the recipient, the&#13;<br \/>\njoy of having received that little something they most wanted for themselves. That&#13;<br \/>\nlittle something could be a little surprise as well. However, there are people&#13;<br \/>\nwho loathe looking for a present&#8230;they fear they might pick up something&#13;<br \/>\nunsuitable. However, in either case, there is a growing number of options when&#13;<br \/>\nit comes to picking up inspired, ready-made and minutely-crafted presents. And,&#13;<br \/>\nwhen you yourself choose to manufacture products that can be offered as a present,&#13;<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re sure to become a goblin of joy. It was the very intention that spurred a&#13;<br \/>\nyoung creator based in Bucharest, Raluca Matei, to prepare a couple of painted biscuits&#13;<br \/>\nfor her daughter to take to the nursery school as March amulets.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The initiative was regaled with a huge welcome. Which prompted our&#13;<br \/>\nguest today to create <em class=cms-italic>stories on a biscuit, <\/em>a brand she told us more about. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Raluca Matei:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s about ginger bread, actually. The story on&#13;<br \/>\nbiscuits did kick off, but little by little we remained on ginger bread because&#13;<br \/>\nwe eventually created a very good recipe. It is soft and fluffy and strongly flavoured.&#13;<br \/>\nClients adored it and that is why&#13;<br \/>\nwe focused on ginger bread. We started off from March amulets for my girl in&#13;<br \/>\nthe nursery school. And we still had a demand for that, afterwards. And we prepared&#13;<br \/>\nall sorts of presents for celebrations, flower bunches, presents for&#13;<br \/>\nphysicians, for teachers, for children, for the grownup, for grandparents, for&#13;<br \/>\neverybody.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>And, one fine produce after the next, Raluca&#13;<br \/>\nand her stories on a biscuit are now four years old, and brimming with optimism&#13;<br \/>\nfor the future. Each and every life is a story in own right and each celebration&#13;<br \/>\nor anniversary can tell part of that story, so we felt entitled to ask Raluca Matei&#13;<br \/>\nwhat the stories were, that she told on a biscuit.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Everyone have&#13;<br \/>\ntheir own story. People offer presents to their nearest and dearest, to friends,&#13;<br \/>\nso we stick only to that particular person&#8217;s hobbies and pleasures. They provide&#13;<br \/>\nseveral elements, several ideas we then combine, and a story comes out of that&#13;<br \/>\nin the long run, as things are connected and what comes out speaks about the recipient&#13;<br \/>\nof that present, spot on. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Raluca Matei told us how far the story of the stories on biscuits&#13;<br \/>\nhas got. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We succeeded to open a laboratory, there&#8217;s five of&#13;<br \/>\nus, five girls we&#8217;re at it, we&#8217;re a team we hope to carry forward and enlarge&#13;<br \/>\nas much as possible. We expanded countrywide, we even reached as far as Europe.&#13;<br \/>\nWe sent very many presents. Presents, all made of ginger bread: flowers, anniversary&#13;<br \/>\nboxes, puzzles, weddings, baptizing, first-anniversary testimonials, we even replaced&#13;<br \/>\nthe flatbread that is traditionally torn above the new-born&#8217;s head on the first-lock&#13;<br \/>\nhaircut ceremony, we replaced it with gingerbread which is decorated with the theme&#13;<br \/>\nof the event. Everything is handmade, it is painted. So there is nothing serial&#13;<br \/>\nabout its manufacturing. Everything is handmade, according to the client&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nrequest, with food colouring, which goes for absolutely every topic. People even&#13;<br \/>\nhad us mix all sorts of themes, from kitchen, with coffee, with passion, absolutely&#13;<br \/>\neverything, characters in cartoons, in movies, landscapes, anything. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Little hearts decorated with locks, with keys, flowers, petals, flowers,&#13;<br \/>\nleaves, ginger bread in the shape of little stones painted in the fission of a&#13;<br \/>\nMarch amulet, or decorated on the Halloween, with orange pumpkins and magician&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nhats, basket made of coloured ginger bread flowers, or it could be just flowers&#13;<br \/>\nthat seem real, wrapped in a savoury bunch, all that can be found in the offer of&#13;<br \/>\nthe workshop. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The themed ginger bread presents are in high demand, so orders need&#13;<br \/>\nto be placed well in advance, so that prospective recipients can have the&#13;<br \/>\nguarantee orders are being delivered right on the set date. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Raluca Matei:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Our clients already know they need to place their&#13;<br \/>\norders two or three months in advance, if they want to book a place. The very&#13;<br \/>\nlarge, complex bunches, with lots of flowers, with messages, they usually say I&#13;<br \/>\nLove You or Happy Anniversary or well-wishing words, for children we have cartoon&#13;<br \/>\ncharacters, for the grown-ups we have all sorts of items depicting the hobby of&#13;<br \/>\ncelebrating and an original and a very special bunch is thus formed. We believe&#13;<br \/>\nthere&#8217;s something special and unique about what we do and we&#8217;re waiting for you&#13;<br \/>\nto place your orders, so we can delight you with the taste, as it&#8217;s the taste&#13;<br \/>\nwe first and foremost pursue, while the design comes after that.           <\/p>\n<p style=text-align: start;><\/p>\n<p style=text-align: start;>Therefore, whether you opt for making the most of an ordinary celebration, the March Amulet, the Women&#8217;s Day, whether you wish to surprise your nearest and dearest with a well-wishing thought uttered differently, now you have the perfect opportunity to give life a lot more taste and a lot more colour!
