Well, I am back on the blog world. I finished my web site - chocolatesbymj.com. I am really excited because I can now expand with this website. Now I can send some of my chocolates to people all over. There is a website that will feature my chocolates if thye like them. Now I can send them and see if I make the "cut".
This Saturday I will make a marathon of trufflesw and other fillings. I need to have a stock on hand for the coming orders.
Someone told me that I should tell you all why my products are so special. First of all I start with Belgian and French chocolates. Then they are tempered - without that process, everything would be mush! After tempering the chocolate is put into decorated molds. In the meantime, while the chocolate is tempering I make the centers. I use only fresh heavy cream, more of the Belgian and French chocolates and sometimes fresh butter. Then this is flavored with different natural oils, alcohol or other delicious flavors. When the shells are set, the centers are pippe into them by hand. Then more waiting until the centers set. Then the truffles are capped with more tempered chocolate. It's a fine dance tol keep the chocolate temperede and the fillings at the right temperature but when they come out of the molds, all shiny and beautifully decorated it is all worth it!

Tomorrow is a new day
Well, tomorow I start movoing all my "stuff" into the commercial kitchen. I get a key and then have to organize a big production. Now I'm in the "bigger" leagues. Have figured out how many I have to make in one run so that the chocolates don't cost $5.00 each - lol.
It's a little scary but fun trying to learn how to successfully run a business AND enjoy making the beuatiful chocolates that I love to make.
So far everyone who has tasted them, raves about their delicious flavors.
Please pass the work around that people can start ordering them from me. Will have a Valentine's line going, and start preparing for Easter, as well as just making my wonderful truffles.
Well that's all for now. Gotta go and get some sleep.
