It was a great time in the chocolate shop today and everyone was enjoying the free samples.
I made a fresh batch of blueberry and cranberry pistachio bark as well as dipped glace apricots that were beckoning to the customers.
The Channel 8 camera men purchased chocolate today. I tried to convince them to put me on the air but their assignment was the snowy rainy Maine weather so perhaps another day! I encouraged them to come back for easter which by the way is early this year !
When your a person that thrives on being creative, full of so many ideas it is hard to keep up with showing that to the customer on the web.
I was happy to receive a call from an acquaintance who needed several boxes made for a meeting she was having on Valentine's Day so I created assortments based on her needs and I had a great time making them up. ( Hint, hint, we are a great source for multiple gifts for business associates, offices, parties etc.! ) In everything we do it is a reflection of us, and we care for it to taste great and look just as good.
This blog was meant to be about Chocolate but when you own a chocolate shop there is more to it than the days I spend making chocolates in the kitchen which by the way is an incredibly wonderful thing to do.
Manipulating tempered chocolate into its many forms, while it flows, smells and feels incredible and looks and tastes amazing is very satisfying.
By the way, I sea salted caramels too this week.
Happy Valentine's Day
Sandra
