Wicked Berries, which normally produces between 10 and 15 boxes of chocolate-coated strawberries and cake bombs a week, with peaks at Christmas and on Valentine's Day, last week found itself filling an order for 700 boxes of the yummy fruits.
Owner Kerry Sullivan, who is already well known for his award-winning wedding cakes with Modern Cake Creations, said the order from one of Australia's top 10 companies came completely out of the blue.
"They have contracted us to ship this massive order out Australia-wide to their branches," Mr Sullivan said.
"It's crazy - we've been working 16 hours a day to achieve this plus I am still creating the cakes I already had on order."
Mr Sullivan said it was certainly exciting seeing the business taking on a life of its own.
"This little business is starting to show huge potential - not only on a general scale but also for the corporate world."
He said he was particularly pleased that feedback repeatedly mistook the business for a big city one rather than a small business in Coffs Harbour.
"It's a huge compliment to us and we are really happy we can highlight that Coffs Harbour produces products of the quality people expect in the cities."
Meanwhile at the Northside Shopping Centre last week strawberry after strawberry was being dipped in chocolate and packed into boxes with the final count a staggering 8304 cake bombs and 'wicked strawberries'.
All 700 boxes left town, on time, via Startrack Express on Monday.
