Theresa Pasaluko @ CocoaNymph


A little while ago I went to a house party as a safety - one of my girlfriends had been invited and didn't know anyone but a new acquaintance there, but she was determined to go. Imagine my delight when there was a live band set up in the living room! A trio of very young men rocked out in the corner, covering Nirvana and Pearl Jam and the Hip at a passable level, but imagine my pleasure when they took a break and a young woman hijacked one of the guitars and stood at the mic and said "I'm just gonna play you some songs I wrote." She stood up and commanded the attention in the room that the band had been trying in vain to attract.

It is my pleasure to host Theresa Pasaluko at the next CocoaNymph Concert on Friday, March 20th. Cover is $5.00, and there will be chocolate and beverages available. Come and see a singer who describes herself as "Kathleen Edwards giving Jewel a bloody nose" as she sings us some songs she wrote.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm loving our Valetine's windows painted by Edon at Watermelon Windows... Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Valentine's Day


I love my collection for Valentine's day. The handpainted hearts atop the truffles make the pieces look slightly like sushi rolls - a fact that my Vancouver customers LOVE.

I love the decadence of Desire, the cinnamon mousse truffle. I relish making and eating Luscious, the sassy tartness of cherry gelee melding with the mellowness of kirsch liqueur. All year my customers have waited for the return of Blush, with it's heady aroma of rosewater and the delicate pink heart on top. And finally, nothing says romance like Mischief - a champagne and milk chocolate bonbon that to me is the next best thing to an actual glass of bubbly.

This year I'm handcrafting chocolate roses too...pictures of these will be around soon, but even better, come and see!
