Either you picked your flavors at The French Door Cafe or you let me create a box for you. These chocolates are some of my recent favorites! Some flavors may have been featured in other months, some are from custom orders, and some might be flavors I was playing around with (and may be future […]
Welcome to the end of the year! December is upon us with all festiveness and holiday cheer. Of course, the best way to celebrate winter holidays is with delightful goodies! These are all flavors that are very holiday-esque to me – seasonal, warming, and of course very delicious. This month has Hannukah, Christmas, and New […]
♪ The falling leaves drift by my window, the autumn leaves of red and gold ♫… I love that song! November is the perfect month to cozy up with some blankets and tea while listening to jazz. The crisp air makes me crave warm flavors, something comforting and relaxing. So grab a book or find […]

Welcome to April! Here in the Bay Area, we have been inundated with storms. So, I am hopeful that spring will bring better weather and less power outages! Seriously, it would be great to not have to paint anymore chocolate molds by headlamp. The flavors this month are all inspired by spring – light, happy, […]
March heralds the (technical) start of spring! It is a kind of stepping stone month – it isn’t as cold as February, but certainly isn’t full spring warmth. The balance of the seasons in this month made me want to play with the balance of sweet and savory. All the flavors have at least one […]
