Featuring high on the forum’s agenda is the promotion of female entrepreneurs with small businesses. as part of this effort, Mums in Colombo (MIC) currently has a line of delicious homemade Christmas goodies for sale on its website. “This all began at the Food Fiesta that we held in November sponsored by Paan Paan and Crescent Fine Foods,” explains MIC Co-founder Amber Habib-Vitarana “The idea behind the event was to showcase small caterers and we had 20 participants. We basically wanted to give these home cooks a chance to reach a bigger audience. The event was a great success and we have now partnered with three of the caterers we featured and their Christmas goodies are available on mumsincolombo.com this season.” Foodie Colombo, Scrumptious and The Cake Box are the three small businesses who have delectable Christmas goodies to sell through MIC. With items ranging from Christmas cookies and cakes, to sugar-coated almonds, mini-jam tarts and marzipan, the selection features ideal additions to any seasonal menu as well as delightful stocking fillers for children and adults alike. Shopping on the MIC site is simple, just log onto www.mumsincolombo.com, shop for the items that you desire, place your order and then pick them up from a location near you. The site even accepts cash on delivery for Colombo-based orders and is offering free delivery within Colombo and the suburbs until 31 December 2014.
