Apron Love
Thursday, August 5th, 2010Godiva For Me?
Thursday, February 4th, 2010I usually don’t like the traditional Valentine’s gifts: red roses, a teddy bear or¬†a box of chocolate. How boring! However, there is¬†nothing to snore at with the new additions to the Godiva line — just in time for the holiday (funny how that works).
You could go with the Dark Chocolate Gift Box Set ($32): “Godiva’s dark chocolate pieces are legendary; embrace the moment as you let the intensity of the flavors slowly unfold” and dark chocolate is good for you, right?!
I have to try these and see how they stand up to the rest of the cupcake companies; your special someone might want to too. Not to mention the Godiva Limited Edition Pink Vanilla Buttercream Cupcakes ($28) have a surprising “¬†luscious center of Godiva chocolate ganache.” Mmmmmm.
Lastly, the Dark Chocolate Truffle Heart Biscuit Gift Pack is a a slim $8.50. You still get the punch of the Godiva name and quality, but less of a commitment. Pair it with some Cafe Godiva Coffees or yummy Hot Chocolates — so sophisticated.
Let Them Eat Cake
Wednesday, July 8th, 2009
Over at Brooklyn Bride, I found this fabulously modern wedding cake and had to know where it was from. I happily discovered the creators right here in Santa Monica, CA. Vanilla Bake Shop¬†doesn’t just have yummies for brides, you can also enjoy cupcakes and assorted sweets any time. And just when you thought the company couldn’t be any cuter, the owners are husband wife team Amy and Jeremy Berman. Read their story here.
Spring Godiva Treats
Monday, March 16th, 2009Godiva is my not-so-secret weakness. I would take the quality of one beautiful Godiva chocolate over a bag filled to the brim of other chocolate. That is part of what draws me to it, I am satisfied with one french vanilla truffle. I wouldn’t be surprised if the calorie intake is the same amount, but I can tell you it is worth every one.¬†
For spring, Godiva is offering the cutest little chocolate chicks. Almost too cute to eat…almost.

Great find: new chocolate!
Friday, February 15th, 2008Yesterday¬†for Valentine‚Äôs Day, our¬†Clients and friends dropped off a few treats. Our favorite was a new chocolate. The brand is Xocai –¬†not sure how it is pronounced — but it is glutten-free, and filled with antioxidants. Our pick is the Omega– a dark chocolate with acai (the ‚Äúit‚Äù berry from brazil) and orange bar, but¬†we are¬†sure they have other good kinds, too. When we see a good thing, we have to share it. Enjoy!!
