Sublimely Decadent

Hand-made with love and the best ingredients

 

It’s Chocolate Season! And I’m thrilled to offer the following for your Holiday gifts, celebrations and indulgences. All my chocolates are made with the best organically sourced chocolate from fair trade cooperatives in Ecuador. To complement the chocolate I work with top quality ingredients (organic and where possible locally grown) and apply the skills I learned during my many years in Provence organizing culinary and wine tours, and working alongside expert Pâtissiers and Chocolatiers. I’m proud to be your go-to source for gifts to your family, friends, clients &/or business associates.

For large orders please get them to me by the end of November. For smaller, I am taking orders through to December 15th to ensure shipping all orders out by Wednesday December 18th. For any last minute local orders - quantity depending - I can arrange a local (Traverse City, Bellaire, Leeelanau County) drop off the week before Christmas.

Shipping (when temperatures permit, i.e. before June and after September) is in addition to the cost of the chocolates, and will be calculated by weight and number of boxes. I use USPS Priority package rates and boxes.

For local orders, local pick-up in Traverse City at the 8th Street Raduno and Bellaire Farmer’s market are possible (and encouraged).
