LOVE what you do? I do!

The “happiness business” how many people can say that is their job? Chocolatiers with Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ get to put smiles on people’s faces and in their tummies.  When folks learn that my job is chocolate, the usual response is a smile and REALLYYes, really.

We maybe a young company yet we are backed by a century of the Mars family quality and reputation.

Check out the video below.  Smiling and drooling are encouraged!

Chocolate Making Classes Postponed

It is HOT in sunny Sarasota – no big surprise since it IS August.  After a temporary brain cramp while trying to figure out HOW to get the A/C through one more summer AND maintain a cool house, the only sensible solution was move the scheduled DCD Chocolate Making class to the end of September.  The nay-sayers and boo birds already tweeted in with that time of year being the heart of hurricane season.  Perhaps. (YOU thought that Florida didn’t have four seasons!)   We could wait until after November 1st and then Halloween is gone and so is the opportunity for some really cute candy ghosts.

In the meantime, check out the short video to see what we will cover.  There will be three units going for dark, milk and white chocolates.  Bring an apron as we will get messy!
