NEWS 09.09.08 10:57 AM Tampa-Based Handmade Toffee Company Has Big Friend
When Lisa and Jim Schalk offered boxed samples of their handmade toffee at a Tampa Bay MPI chapter event last November, they had no idea what level of recognition it would result in. Colin Cowie, who has planned events for A-list celebs from Oprah to John Travolta, tasted Toffee to Go's samples and has since placed multiple orders with the Tampa-based company.
"I was absolutely ecstatic! I was just floored that he was calling me and ordering toffee. It was very surreal," says Lisa Schalk of the first order she got from Cowie.
Cowie has placed orders as party favors for his events, and as gifts for family and friends. In a thank-you note to Schalk, he says of the toffee, "It is truly beyond. It gets stellar reviews."
In addition to his personal affinity for Toffee to Go's products, Cowie is also promoting the candy to the rest of the world by including it as one of the "Fantastic Finds" showcased on his Web site at www.colincowie.com.
