When I was a kid, there was no better place to go than my Grandmother’s house in Philly. Her house wasn’t just filled with the typical «Grandma’s House» child-​spoiling cupcake supply. Her house was full of chocolate! I’m talking hand-​dipped marshmallows, honeycomb candies, bittersweet nuts, and orange buttercreams — you name it! It was a child’s dream.

When I was 19 years old, my mother, her sister, and I traveled to Philadelphia to learn from the Master. We watched, taking careful notes, as she showed us how to temper the chocolate by hand; how to test it; how to work it; even how to taste it. She showed us how to make her famous buttercreams on a cold stone table. We even learned how to coat the pieces and finish with that perfect swirl on top. «You’re a Natural!» she said to me. «Your Great Grandmother would be proud.»

That was almost 20 years ago, and I have only scratched the surface of the glorious world of confections! There’s so much more to discover.

I’ll keep you posted.
