Tasting @ The Sugar Cube Sweets & Cork and Fork

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

During the Mother’s Day craziness I almost forgot to mention that we will be condcuting tastings in Alexandria and in Gainesville. You will find us between 1-4pm on those two locations, offering you all we have to taste. Additionally there will be a wine tasting going on at Cork & Fork (I will have to be there then).

If you haven’t had any luck with finding Mother’s Day gifts, then this is a good idea too - either come by the Sugar Cube and pick up some high-end confectionary or visit us at Cork and Fork and pick up your favorite chocolate and a good bottle of wine.

Either way, we wish you & your mom a great Mother’s Day!

The day after …

Monday, March 24th, 2008

We hope y’all had a very nice Easter weekend. Melanie and I actually worked on Sunday, but only until 5pm. We then went to take a walk in the park and enjoyed the chilly, but nice and fresh air and the blue sky. Afterwards we had ‘Boeuf Stroganoff’ - except that I made it with pork instead of beef (just had pork) and I made it just like my dad still makes it, with lots of red wine and cornichons in the sauce.

Well, where does the chocolate fit in?!

Today we delivered the goodies for ‘A spoonful of sin‘ - a dessert of the month club coming out of Manassas, Virginia. All members will get a package containing some of our chocolate confections, marzipan fruits and Wine Pate de Fruits. We are eager to hear what everyone thinks!

This Thursday we will be having a tasting event at Artfully Chocolate in Del Ray - it’s free and there is usually sparkling wine as well, so come on by if you have nothing else planned yet! The folks at Artfully do ask to RSVP (although walk-ins are always welcome) - we will make sure to have enough chocolate for everyone ;)

Tasting @ Artfully Chocolate -> Tonight!

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Hey Chocolate Conoisseurs,

Sorry for the late notice, but tonight we will be tasting our chocolate confections at Artfully Chocolate in Alexandria, VA.

RSVP is advised - although we will bring enough chocolates to cover a good amount of walk-ins as well. :) We wouldn’t want you to lose out ;)

If you haven’t been to Artfully Chocolate, get ready for an eclectic store that greets you with bright paintings and of course delicious treats by local artisans, such as us.

See you tonight!
