Honoured to have catered for the community launch of' Staying Power', a powerful solo exhibition by John Vea, at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, back in May of this year.

Feeding the Ōtepoti Pasifika Arts community and the Dunedin City Council advisory committee, for this special event was an absolute privilege. There is nothing better than bringing people together over good food to celebrate incredible Pasifika art.

On the menu:
• Dairy-free mini pani-popo,
• Gluten-friendly raspberry & dark chocolate brownies,
• Mini scones filled with whipped cream and berry jam,
• Fresh seasonal fruit platter.

Swipe to see:
- 'Concrete is as concrete doesn't' (2017) – exploring the heavy physical realities of Pacific labour.
- A portrait of the artist himself, John Vea.

Huge thank you to the DPAG team and OPAC for having Sweet Revelations and look forward to working with you again! Fakaaue lahi.🌺

Sweet & Savoury Morning Tea Delights!🌺

Nothing beats kicking off a special occasion with a spread made with alofa.❤️ Back during Samoa Language Week, we had the absolute honour of catering a morning tea for a very loyal client celebrating a special opening for the 'Pacific Collective Fono'.

To keep everyone well-fed and energized for the gathering, we put together a massive sweet and savoury lineup for 30 guests:

- Freshly made assorted sandwiches
- Our signature cupcakes (always the star of the show!)
- Freshly baked Pani Popo & traditional coconut bread
- Vibrant, fresh seasonal fruit platters

All prepped, packed, and ready to go right before the morning school drop-off!

We are so grateful for every opportunity to showcase our catering service, build lasting relationships within our community, and nourish the people behind these amazing initiatives. Looking forward to our next collaboration together! 💙

🧁High volume, same signature quality!

While we love our intimate morning teas, catering for larger gatherings like funerals and memorial services requires scale, speed, and plenty of heart.❤️

For this large order, we served up:
✨ 100 Custom Cupcakes (Chocolate, Vanilla, Lemon and Red Velvet)
✨ 4 Trays of Mini Pani Popo (yielding around 96 freshly baked coconut buns)

From small school-run deliveries to feeding large crowds of guests, showing our full range of service while keeping our standards high is what we do best.

Fakaaue lahi to this lovely family for trusting us to cater for their loved ones.

Morning tea drop-offs made easy!

A huge thank you to Corinne for having us cater her Principals meetings back in March. It was such a pleasure putting together these two morning tea packages, packed with delicious gluten-friendly and dairy-free options so everyone had something special to enjoy!

Bonus of being a local family business? I was able to hand-deliver these right on my morning school run route before dropping the kids off!

We absolutely loved working with Corinne and can’t wait to cater their next morning tea gathering. Fakaaue lahi for the support! 🌸

Proud moments wrapping up our catering for the King's High School 'Pasifika Welcome' back in March!

🥰As always, it was an absolute joy working alongside Jenny and Kala. Appreciate the opportunity to serve our pasifika community again.

On the menu, we served up our crowd-favourites: lamb curry, chicken chop suey, fluffy rice, fresh garden and coleslaw salads, and those glorious, freshly baked pani-popo buns!

❤️A massive shoutout to our incredible children for stepping up, wearing our branded uniforms with pride, and helping out Mum's business. You all looked the part!

Thanks for having us Kings! Fakaaue lahi ✨

Throwback to March 2026.

Sweet Revelations had the privilege of catering for the Otago Polytechnic Pasifika Student Welcome 2026 and the launch of Lalanga, their Strategic Framework and Action Plan, introduced by Director of Pasifika Acheivement, Litea Ikahihifo.

It was absolute honour to share our Pasifika flavours with tauira and community.

We were able to showcase more of our pacific island inspired cuisine which included: Sapasui, coconut curry, mainaise, fresh raw fish, taro and panipopo.

A big shoutout to the Otago Polytech catering kitchen who complemented the spread with delicious meats and fresh salads. I heard the roast meat was a hit!🎉

Fakaaue lahi to Litea and her dedicated team for having us. We truly value our partnership and look forward to working together again soon! 💙

Small in numbers, and big on community spirit!

It was such a warm evening at Taieri College for our high school visit catering. We served up chicken sapasui, pork chow-mein, potato salad, fresh garden salads, and of course, our crowd-favourite pani popo.

So grateful to Jenny and Kala for the ongoing partnership. We have a few more exciting events ahead to showcase with the POPO team and can’t wait to share with you what’s next!

And peep our daughter and sons helping with table setup and serving the pani popo, one bun at a time. 🥰

That officially wraps up our February 2026 catering! 🍽️

Many thanks to Taieri College for hosting!

✨It’s a family thing.

From carrying pots to the van to cheering me on in the kitchen, these faces are the heartbeat behind Sweet Revelations.

To keep our family balance and ensure every order gets 100% of our focus, we are officially moving to a One-Month Lead Time for all bookings.

This shift allows us to focus on the details that matter... like our artisan Pani Popo dough and our market-fresh seafood.

❤️ Thank you for being part of our village and for planning your special moments with us! 🚐💨
