A foodie has shared the moment he ‘pinched me’ His new range of sweet treats became an instant hit at Woolworths a day after it was launched in stores.
Melbourne native Nick Favetis, who has a solid Instagram following of over 100,000 people, was completely shocked by the unexpected success.
The 29-year-old was ‘out of work’ during the Brisbane Covid lockdown two years ago and started working on his Chocolate brand before returning to his home city.
Nick told FEMAIL that finally being able to launch his brand in one of Australia’s largest supermarkets meant “everything” to him.
“I get such joy and happiness from seeing people try my products,” he said, “and it was always my dream to start at Woolworths.”
The new collection currently includes a $12 Red Velvet Cake and a Biscuit and Cream Brownie as well as a $20 Caramel Biscuit Cheesecake.
Nick said the three new desserts are inspired by some of his favorite flavors and desserts.

Foodies have been raving about the “yummy” desserts on social media over the past few days, which Nick called “incredible.”
“It feels like a real pinch-hit moment,” he said.
I have been watching the (social media) tags and they fill me with so much happiness and joy when I see people enjoying my sweets.
“It’s so surreal to think that I’ve gone from handing out sweets to my friends to now trying them at Wooly’s in two years.”
Nick carefully chose what he wanted to make and felt there was a shortage of red velvet desserts in Australia, so he created his own.
He chose brownie and cream because it is one of his “all-time favorite” flavors, while cheesecake has a “unique twist” that includes the taste of caramel and the texture of a biscuit.

Others urged customers to “not walk but run” to Wooly’s to try the sweets, with some reporting that shelves in certain stores had been thoroughly cleaned.
Nick responded accordingly on Instagram by sharing his excitement.
He wrote on Friday: “WOWWWWWW Thank you so much for the empty shelves after one day.”
I’m doing my best to get back to everyone, but I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out today and bought a cake or brownie today.
The love for this brand is unbelievable!! I am so excited to hear everyone’s opinions and thoughts again, love you so much and thank you!
A number of foodies also flaunted the desserts on TikTok, with Sydney vlogger Samantha calling the desserts “the best”.
“This is honestly a 10 out of 10,” she said in the clip.
The treats are available in 990 Woolworths stores nationwide.
