The Chocolate Den e-magazine The Chocolate Den e-magazine July-September 2015 | Page 3

Hi All
Huge apologies for the late arrival of the E-Mag. June and July, traditionally our quieter
months of the year, were very busy with stock take and getting ready for our winter
sale and launch of the outdoors.
The winter sale turned out to be a great success. The reason for the sale was excess stock
of some items which we came across during our stock take and not a closing down sale as
some people feared. The Chocolate Den is healthy and happy and we intend sharing
many happy generations ahead with all of you.
Talking about future generations, Felicity Goldstein has come onboard, and now does
classes, parties and workshops for our younger customers. This term she is doing a
fantastic workshop for kids up to 7 years old as well as 8 years and up. The workshop is
on decorating a “Frozen” theme cake.
Our cake icing, edible lace and chocolate classes are starting up and you can find the
program for these classes at the end of this E-Mag. I am teaching some old favorite classes
and a few new ones as well. A good and fun new class of mine is Belgium Christmas
Chocolates. I will also be teaching an introductory class in isomalt.
The Christmas launch this year will be taking place over the first three Saturdays in
October. We have decided to spread the workshops over two Saturdays instead of the
traditional one day. The third Saturday will be aimed at kids workshops. We have been
busy working on the new ideas and I am really very excited and motivated for these
classes. Bookings can be made mid September. We will send out detailed information closer
to the time.
Over the next few Saturdays we will be introducing a new brand of chocolate that is
exclusive to The Chocolate Den. This fantastic product is a coverture chocolate but the
beauty with it is that it does not need to be tempered. Please pop in to taste and try this
fantastic new product.
The Chocolate Den outdoor area is a great place for your family to relax and enjoy while
you shop at your leisure. On Saturdays we will be selling cupcakes and cakes as well as
something to drink. Also available are our delicious fondues to which you can treat
yourself and your families.
On a final note, Jackie’s cat, “The Tiglet” is coming along literally in leaps and bounds. It is
hard to believe that it is the same little emaciated kitten from six months ago. He has
taught us so much, not least how far a little love can go.
Wishing you all a happy spring when it arrives.
