Local artist creates illustration for our chocolate box notes
We're thrilled to announce the inclusion of a note identifying chocolates in our fine chocolate boxes. Whilst not every chocolate will be on the note (ie. special editions etc), the regular range and favourites are all included. All chocolates are identifiable by looking on our website of course.
We have also engaged young local artist Andrina Manon, to create an illustration for the note. The savvy shopper on her vespa is a reminder to eat your chocolates sooner rather than later, given we don't use preservatives or artificial ingredients in our chocolates.
Andrina's work can be viewed here:

'GOLD' Chocolate Bustier Auctioned!
Featured on Channel 7 The morning show, this bustier and mannequin is made entirely of chocolate! The bustier is made of Gold Salted Caramel Chocolate and the mannequin is made from dark chocolate. Jodie was inspired by a Jean Paul Gaultier bustier, and has crafted a similar proportioned bustier made entire of chocolate, with the 'wheat' decor as well!
The bustier was auctioned for the Arty Bra fundraiser, selling for $3000. The much needed funds will help the local charity Cancer Wellness Support continue to help local Blue Mountains individuals and family who are coping with cancer.
