October has got to be one of the most fun months, right? Halloween can be as scary or as silly as you decide, and it is so great to have a month based around such a fun holiday. I also get so excited to make my spooky chocolates each year. As an extra treat, all […]
Welcome to the end of summer, and the start of autumn. The weather still hasn’t changed much here in San Diego, but I have hopes for cooler days soon. September is National Breakfast Month, and I happen to love breakfast. This month, here are 6 takes on some of my favorite breakfast items – good […]
It is getting real hot here, so it is time to grab a drink and sit by some water to cool down. So obviously, the theme this month is summer cocktails! I have done cocktail inspired chocolates a few times here, but the difference here is I chose some of my all time favorites summer […]
Happy June! This month, we celebrate love. I am personally out and proud (which is why the pansexual flag always appears in my June chocolates), but I recognize that many people do not share this privilege. Especially given the current climate, I think visibility and support matter even more. Above all, love is love, and […]
In my mind, April is a month for games – after all the first day is the biggest prank day of the year! So what better way to celebrate than with another Dungeons & Dragons inspired month? These are based on 6 more classes you can play in D&D. Don’t play the game? Don’t worry, […]

In chocolate in particular, I […]
Happy February! Even though Valentine’s Day is in the middle of the month, it definitely dominates. Chocolate and love are on everyone’s mind. This is the time to give chocolates to show you care, and to get in someone’s good graces – and maybe hopefully in their bed! As I have done for the last […]
Happy 2026! Let’s all hope this year is filled with creativity, laughter, and excellent chocolate of course. For me, January is a big birthday month – my mom’s, mine, and so so many friends. So, why not make all those birthday cakes into chocolates?! I included some favorite cake flavors from my family, as well […]
It is the end of the year already! I swear these last few months have have flown by. Thank you so much to everyone for being so supportive this year – I think I am finally getting a handle on running the cafe and the chocolate business, and there will be all sorts of excellent […]
For me, November is mostly about Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving is all about pie – so this month the chocolates are all based on pie! They are made with caramelized white chocolate to represent the crust. This chocolate also gives a beautiful caramel-y, nutty note to each bite! Did I get your favorite pie? Let me […]
