Well, hello again, it’s been a busy and rapidly-passing summer!  Kids nearly back to school already.  Being our first summer with the shop open in our new location, we didn’t know what to expect.  The chocolate workshops were really busy in May and June with school groups.. and active retirement groups too (oldest candidate to date was 95, closely seconded by a 92 year old - they had a blast!) ; anyway we really didn’t know what to expect but the phone just kept ringing and we kept adding in extra dates and times for workshops.  We had our first birthday for the shop on the 18th of August - no celebrations yet as a couple of staff are still on holidays but we will, don’t worry!

We had a very unusual request recently… to make a chocolate sliotar, don’t have the photo just yet as it’s caught between mismatched software, laptops and iphone… but will let you have a look soon… picture this.. a football sized sliotar (hope I’m spelling that right, I’ve never actually written it before) white chocolate with brown with the red logo of a notable PLC hand crafted onto it - quite a project; it tooke about 4 prototypes to get the technique right since we don’t have a mould for a sliotar but happily the end product was great.

Congrats to anyone who has just got their leaving cert results after all that hard slog!  If you’re going to a debs soon and want the very best brownie points, well you’ll need the very best chocolates - see our website or if you want something special, give us a ring on 059-6481999.
