Join us Thursday, October 8th from 7 - 9 pm at The Cordial Cherry for a beautiful evening of friends and fellowship.

Author and Greek chef, Stephanie Patsalis, will be sharing some of her delectable Greek hors d'oeuvres from her book.
We'll have EXCLUSIVE offers for holiday pre-orders and LOTS of giveaways! Bring a friend and feel free to share the event!
We had a delicious evening....Beansmith's Nightingale, a rich, dark roast, was paired perfectly with our dark chocolate marzipan, white chocolate cappuccino truffles, and our traditional French truffles. Chocolate Pistachio Biscotti compliments of Black Bottom Biscotti was perfect dunking partner for the featured coffee and Ale-infused Marshmallows by Carried Away Confections topped the evening with light and airy puffs of heaven. The entire event was sweetened with beautiful friends...new and old.

I had a lovely time Saturday with the ladies of West Hills Church...talking about purpose, dreams, and journeys. We often set out on one course just to realize that what God has in mind for us is something vastly different. And, he uses our talents and the pursuit of such, to carefully direct us, and sometimes against our will. In my case, I started out pursuing a career in science, switched to education, and ended up a chocolatier....and I LOVE it! But, I certainly didn't set out pursing chocolate. In my journey, I've learned to embrace uncertainty, look forward to failure, and find success in joy.
