Ooh La La Artisan Confectionery

Ooh La La Artisan Confectionery Our confectionery is hand-crafted using the finest ingredients selected locally and imported from all over the world.

Ooh La La Artisan Confectionery does not make ordinary confections. One doesn’t need words to know this, a bite will do. Unexpected flavours, textures, the finest and most rare of ingredients all come together to sing a song in your mouth. It’s a song you’ll want to play over and over again. And once you’ve heard it you’re not likely to forget it. Ooh La La La Artisan Confectionery was born long b

efore it opened its doors in 2009. For many years it lived as a small flame in Karen Schneid’s heart, dancing around as a love for France and food. And then, one day, on a trip to a small rural village near Aix-en-Provence, a single bite of the legendary calisson sparked an all-consuming, burning passion that would see her enter a world of historians, artisans, merchants and those who guard the sweet secrets of the ancient science of sugar in the hidden corners of France. Ooh La La Confectionery is not made from recipes, it is made from legends. Because what goes into each batch, slowly cooked in copper cauldrons and cast iron pots, is a whole lot of heart and a head full of dreams.

We’ve teamed up with Whispering Angel for a little French-inspired indulgence… a beautiful pairing featuring a bottle of Whispering Angel rosé and two of our Scarlett Molten Marshmallows.

Soft blush tones, a touch of Parisian glamour, and the kind of pairing that turns any afternoon into an occasion. Because every day deserves a little rosé.

This pomo is now available at Norman Goodfellows, and our Molten Caramel Marshmallows are available online and at YuppieChef.

A mother’s day message from our founder and creator Karen Schneid:

Before Ooh la la, there was 𝓢𝓪𝓯𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓷 & 𝓢𝓬𝓪𝓻𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽

From the minute my daughters were born, I began to see the world differently. Ordinary moments became grand adventures and through their eyes, everything became more magical. Travelling the world with them and creating wildly imaginative parties together made me want to turn everything into a story waiting to be told. They became my muses in every sense of the word.

The whimsy, wonder and imagination that live at the heart of Ooh la la were born from creating magic for two little girls and seeing just how powerful beauty, joy and imagination can be.

So while Ooh la la may have grown far beyond our family kitchen, its heart has always started with them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my dream and thank you to Saffron and Scarlett for being my muses.
Happy Mother’s Day

Love,
Karen 🤍

When I started Ooh la la all those years ago, markets were our bread and butter. They were how I introduced our little world of confectionery to people, one conversation, one taste, one curious passerby at a time.

In those early days it was such a thrill to stand behind a market table and sell something I had actually made with my own hands. Especially after spending my days arguing in court. The contrast always made me smile.

Those early markets meant everything. They helped me find my customers, build our name, and slowly grow Ooh la la into what it is today.

Over the years we have been incredibly lucky to grow beyond markets as our main focus. Today I find myself working on new ventures and dreaming up new chapters for Ooh la la.

But there is one market we will never outgrow: Kamers.

Being here this week has reminded me exactly why. The atmosphere, the people, the creativity everywhere you look. This is South Africa at its absolute best. Beautiful design, thoughtful craftsmanship and art in every corner.

What I love most is that it is filled with people who have chosen to follow their passion. Makers, artists and creators who pour their hearts into what they do. There is something very special about standing among people who care as deeply about their work as I care about Ooh la la.

In many ways, this is exactly the kind of world I always imagined Ooh la la belonging to.

If you are nearby, please come and say hello. Kamers is one of the most wonderful outings you could hope for. A place to wander, discover and be inspired.

You will find us at Allée Bleue in the Franschhoek Winelands until 8 March.

And to the Kamers team, thank you. Truly. What you have created is extraordinary. A beautifully curated, world class stage for South African entrepreneurs to share their work with the public.

A love letter to our matcha chocolate bar 🍵🍫
It's impossible not to love this creamy white chocolate, infused with premium ceremonial-grade matcha and a touch of yuzu zest.

If great taste judges who awarded our chocolate a gold star award, have fallen in love with our matcha chocolate, you know it's got to be good!

It’s the kind of bar you hide from everyone else. Or gift… if you really love them.

So about our matcha…
It’s Double Gold Star–winning, personally sourced by Karen from a top-tier farm in Nishio, Japan, and it’s the highest grade you’ll find in South Africa. This is the kind of matcha Japanese producers usually keep to themselves, but for us, they make a little exception 😉

It’s no wonder we had to trademark it — I love you so matcha® belongs to us! When you're in love you're in love!

Happy 2026 ✨
As the new year begins, I just wanted to say thank you for being part of the Ooh la la world. I hope you had a beautiful holiday season filled with joy, celebration, and a little magic.

Thank you for supporting a small, female owned, local business. Every piece we create is made by a team I am deeply proud of, each person personally trained and up skilled by me, with care, patience, and a shared love for craftsmanship.

I’m feeling inspired, grateful, and very excited for what lies ahead. Here’s to another year of creating with love, imagination, and the same quality you’ve come to expect.

With love,
Karen
