Find the Right Father’s Day Message – Based on Dad’s Favourite Quality Street® Flavour
Figuring out what to write in Father’s Day card has never been this fun.
1. The Purple One – The Classic and Reliable Dad
Just like The Purple One with its rich chocolate, smooth caramel and crunchy hazelnut, the classic and reliable dad believes if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. He knows who he is and what he stands for. He knows he’s a vintage model in the making – after all, he’s been rocking the same haircut since 1988. He’s reliable, solid and guaranteed to be there when you need him most.
Want to really treat him? Pick up The Purple One gift carton so he can indulge in his favourite flavour for weeks to come!
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you’re always sweet, always smooth, a little bit nutty and always a favourite – just like The Purple One. Thanks for always being there (especially when I need a lift!).
2. Green Triangle – Quirky and Mysterious Dad
Everyone’s favourite three-pointed Quality Street® is velvety smooth on the inside, and coated in a milk chocolate layer. Just like the hazelnut flavour centre, the quirky and mysterious dad is full of fun surprises. He has a collection of retro bikes and gadgets, and insists that they just don’t make music like they used to. If you give him half the chance, he’ll take through his B-side tapes of 90s grunge bands you’ve never heard of.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, just like the Green Triangle, you’re totally unique in every way and full of hidden sweet surprises. So just like your taste in music, never change!
3. Strawberry Delight – The Sweet and Sentimental Dad
With its smooth dark chocolate and soft strawberry-flavoured fondant centre, the Strawberry Delight is the perfect pairing for the sweet and sentimental dad. He loves his family almost as much as his Lord of the Rings collection and he tears up at every family reunion. You’ll always be ‘my preeecious,’ and he’ll always stand with you against the forces of Mordor.
Why not hit Dad’s sweet spot this year with a Strawberry Delight Gift Carton?
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you’re soft-hearted like a Strawberry Delight, and I wouldn’t want you any other way. I love everything about you, even your embarrassing hugs and kisses at every school drop-off during my childhood!
4. Toffee Penny – The Stubborn and Lovable Dad
The Toffee Penny is a no-nonsense disc of buttery toffee wrapped in gold. Like our stubborn but lovable dad, it’s hard on the outside but pure gold once you get to know it. This dad is set in his ways and believes his 10-year-old running shoes are just about to hit that sweet spot of being broken in.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you might be hard on the outside, but you’re pure gold on the inside, just like your favourite Toffee Penny!
5. Caramel Swirl – The Smooth and Charming Dad
One bite of the creamy caramel and rich milk chocolate of a Caramel Swirl is all it takes to understand the smooth and charming dad. He’s quick, witty and always seems to have a wisdom-laced comment for every situation. He’ll convince everyone that he deserves the last roast potato at Sunday lunch and he’ll make you laugh as you hand it over.
Father’s Day Card Message
Even though Mum is rolling her eyes right now, I think you’re as smooth and charming as a Caramel Swirl, Dad. Teach me your ways, oh wise one!
6. Coconut Éclair – The Wise and Surprising Dad
Just like the Coconut Éclair’s coconut centre hiding beneath smooth milk chocolate, the wise and surprising dad is full of depth and flavour. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, he’ll whip out a juggling skill that he learnt one summer in the local circus. He’s full of sage advice, even if most of it is one-liners from his favourite 80s Schwarzenegger action flicks.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, just like your favourite coconutty treat, you’re full of surprises, and we love you for it. Thanks for keeping life exciting, even when there’s no real urgency to ‘GET TO THE CHOPPER!’.
7. Orange Creme – The Old-School and Sophisticated Dad
Like a sharp suit with an orange satin lining, the Orange Creme is a mixture of class and zest, just like our old-school and sophisticated dad. When he’s not reading the paper in a leather wingback, you can find him listening to a vinyl record while savouring the rich dark chocolate and tangy orange centre of his favourite Quality Street®.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you’re smooth, classy and a little bit unexpected – just like your favourite zesty treat. Thanks for always keeping it stylish (even if I don’t agree with your avant-garde jazz choices).
8. Orange Chocolate Crunch – The Energetic and Vibrant Dad
Even if you wake up at 6am, the energetic and vibrant dad is going to ask if you enjoyed your lie-in! He’s the kind of guy who thinks every run is a fun run and always tries to get the whole family to go. He loves the crunchy orange candy bites and creamy milk chocolate of Orange Crunch but believes a treat always tastes better if you’ve earnt it.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, we love the fact that you share your zest for life with us, but we wish you’d share more of your Orange Crunches! Enjoy your solo 6am Father’s Day jog. Breakfast will be waiting when you get back!
9. Toffee Finger – The Steadfast and Dependable Dad
Like a modern-day MacGyver, the steadfast and dependable dad has a solution for every problem. And even if he doesn’t, he’ll figure it out while enjoying his favourite Toffee Finger. He loves the creamy toffee classic and firmly believes it should be sucked for a few minutes before chewing. He’s the dad who fixed your bike, taught you to drive and can magically fix the Wi-Fi by flicking the switch on and off.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you’re dependable and strong, and if I had a Toffee Finger for every time you’ve helped me out, you’d have Toffee Fingers for life! Thanks for being the best!
10. Fudge – The Chilled and Easy-Going Dad
Like the classic comfort of our chocolate-covered velvety Fudge block, the chilled and easy-going dad is always relaxed. He knows how to calm any situation and he’s your go-to amigo for steady reassurance. He loves movie nights and Quality Street® with his family, even though he inevitably starts ‘resting his eyes’ halfway through.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, just like your favourite chocolate-covered Fudge you’re smooth, laid-back and impossible not to love. Thanks for always keeping life sweet and stress-free!
11. Milk Choc Block – The Straightforward and No-Nonsense Dad
As far as this dad is concerned, the Milk Choc Bloc with its rich, smooth and uncomplicated taste of pure milk chocolate is the only Quality Street® you need. No bells, no whistles, just a straightforward approach, which is exactly how he behaves. His advice is sound, and he’ll always tell it like it is. He’ll remind you to check your tyre pressure weekly, and tell you never agree to a quote unless he’s checked it first.
Father’s Day Card Message
Dad, you’re as straightforward and dependable as a Milk Choc Block – always solid, always there and always the best. Happy Father’s Day!
It’s a Father’s Day Wrap
This Father’s Day, celebrate the legend that is your dad with a box of Quality Street® – because nothing says thanks for being the best like his favourite chocolates and a heartfelt message!
Questions?
Our dads always have our best interests at heart, even if we’re too young to understand their motives at the time. As you get older, you realise this, and one of the nicest things you can ever say to your dad is, thank you for always looking out for me, even when I didn’t understand your intentions.
Dads always love humour and messages from the heart. Tell him how special he is but deliver it in a way that is funny and memorable. It works every time.
Most cupcake recipes recommend baking at 180°C for an even bake.
If your oven is too hot, the outside of the cupcakes will cook faster than the inside. As the cake cooks, it forms a crust, and when the cake continues to rise after the crust has already set due to the high temperature, the cupcakes crack.
You can, but for the best results, store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them tender and fresh.
There are endless cupcake flavours to choose from, with new varieties being created in kitchens and bakeries all the time. The most popular existing types of cupcake are vanilla, chocolate, carrot cake, red velvet, Victoria sponge, salted caramel and lemon drizzle flavours.
Fairy cakes are smaller than cupcakes – halfway between a mini cupcake and a regular-sized cupcake. – and were the mainstay of parties until the American-style cupcakes took prominence in the early 2000s. Unlike cupcakes, fairy cakes often feature drizzles of icing and sprinkles instead of huge swirls of buttercream piled up on top. A classic fairy cake decoration is the butterfly cake, where a shallow scoop of cake is taken out of the top and cut in half. The hole is filled with a small swirl of buttercream, and the two cake pieces are arranged like butterfly wings on either side.
