For centuries, traditional English Christmas puddings have graced dinner tables during the festive season – now, Elisha Webber, the creative mind behind Silver Penny Puddings, is continuing the legacy by creating the best traditional puddings with quality Australian produce.Elisha’s special ingredient is the point of difference between Silver Penny Puddings and existing puddings on the market, baked with suet as opposed to butter to ensure a lighter, richer flavour.
With no additional colours, flavours or preservatives, Silver Penny Puddings are best served hot with Elisha’s award-winning spiced brandy sauce, which took home gold at the Royal Melbourne Fine Food Awards in 2016. And let me tell you, the pudding – and the sauce – is absolutely top notch.
From humble beginnings in the family kitchen in 2013, Silver Penny Puddings has expanded to a commercial kitchen in Kilmore, regional Victoria, with the likes of Gourmet Traveller featuring her products.
“I began by making the puddings every Christmas after my grandmother passed away, but soon I had to start charging my friends to match the demand and cover the costs.”
From creating an initial 10 puddings annually to selling over 3,000 puddings in 2016 alone, Silver Penny continues to expand, recently partnering with Four Pillars Gin for an exciting upcoming Christmas project.
“It’s hard to believe how the business has grown over the past few years – I can still see my grandmother grating suet in the weeks leading up to Christmas. I feel so fortunate that her passion, which I now share, has evolved into my career.”
Silver Penny Puddings come in a range of sizes with a recent gluten-free addition and the option of corporate branding for those wanting to incorporate their own logo for Christmas gift send outs.
All puddings are available to purchase via www.silverpennypuddings.com.
