"I want to thank you so much for the special chocolates you prepared for the Grand Opening events for our Faux Fur Boutique in the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Because of the grand venue and the elegant garments we offer, the appearance of everything we present must be equally grand and elegant. Your chocolates were. I couldn't be happier with the service and was thrilled to have such unique and beautiful items to present next to our own unique and beautiful Noble Furs." Mary Stursa, Chief Executive Officer, Noble Furs.
"Thank you so much for the heart-shaped truffles that you made for our wedding. The flavors were delightful, especially the rose tea in white chocolate. I snuck a few and held them aside for the honeymoon! None were left over after the reception. Don was particularly impressed by how carefully you packed and shipped the chocolates, and he's not easy to impress. They arrived right on time and handling them was one of the most stress-free elements of the wedding setup." Barclay B., Bellevue, WA (wedding held in Palm Springs, CA)
"Hi Susan, you made the wonderful and beautiful chocolates for my daughter's wedding. All the chocolates disappeared...people were stuffing them in their purses and pockets...so that not one was left over. One guest was so taken with the chocolates that he told his grandson...gather all the truffles you can...and I will pay for your college education! [my daughter] and I considered all possible "favors" for the guests and chose your candy as the perfect, elegant, and "wanted" favor......it turns out this was understated!" Kristina A., Seattle, WA
"The wedding was wonderful and the chocolates were a big hit. They were above our expectations. Thank you so much and thanks for checking back about it. That was very thoughtful." Mary M., Woodinville, WA.
"All our wedding guests loved your chocolates. The placement in the pretty gold boxes on our dinner place settings was just perfect. Our colors of burnt orange, red and gold were a perfect match. Funny...we ordered 12 extra boxes and amazingly none were left over...I wonder why!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution to our wedding at the Sorrento Hotel." Nancy and Bill K., Gig Harbor, WA.
"Thank you for the fantastic chocolates you made for our March wedding at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego. They turned out perfectly and accented the place settings fabulously. Your service, product quality, and willingness to fulfill last minute orders really sets you apart from many of my other vendors." Sarah H, Bellingham, WA (wedding held in San Diego, CA)
"The chocolate cigars arrived timely and in perfect condition. Even a "non-chocolate lover" like me can tell that this chocolate is head and shoulders over any other chocolate cigar I have ever bought...including [national upscale chocolatier]." Kenneth C., Fairfax, VA (celebration cigars, like the ones shown here.)
"When Susan was a student of mine, it was obvious she was a person who was intended to use the silicone mold-making process to the fullest. I work with chefs on a daily basis and have been impressed with her tenacity and dedication to achieving the highest quality possible in her products. Her presentation of chocolate cigars is very convincing and perfect in detail. You can even see the folds of the leaf from the original cigar. The best thing is, they taste great!
I can't wait to see what you whip up next..."
