The Chocolate Season

I’m a lover of anything sweet. Growing up in small town Algona, IA, it was hard to find a specialty shop that would tame my soulful desire for chocolate. Over the years, and after re-locating to Omaha, NE, I came across a few chocolate businesses, but couldn’t find a shop that had quality customer service as well as a premium hand-crafted product. Thinking back to my hometown, I knew people, no matter their location, craved a sweet alternative to grocery store chocolate and baked goods. My friends and family knew me as a natural baker with a passion for food, so they encouraged me to pursue my dream in the culinary arts. After refining my skills, I opened a business whose goal is to touch people’s lives and make them feel loved and appreciated—all through the products we offer. Hence, The Chocolate Season was born, a place I hope you come to know and love for our friendly service and decadent creations. If you ever need anything, please drop me a line, I’d love nothing more than to get to know my future customers and friends.

Fun yet Hectic

The last couple weeks have flown by in a haze...I guess that's what happens when the holiday season rolls around.

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of catering a dessert buffet for Sergeants Pet Care in Omaha for their quarterly celebration. What a wonderful company that's been around for over 100 years! They offer everything from flea and tick control, to treats and toys! They even offer health and grooming tips on their web site ( http://www.sergeants.com)

I worked with Karen, who was an absolute sweetheart...and had fun planning a menu full of goodies! (just a few shown below)
Also, you remember that sister of mine? I went to Norfolk to visit her for the weekend and stopped by her clinical site, went to a service at First Baptist Church, had fun in a kick-boxing class and went to a charming winery, Cuthills Vineyards in Pierce, NE....( http://www.cuthills.com)

We were able to chat with co-owner, Holly Swanson, and sample an assortment of red and white wines, all of which were fragrant and delicious.

After the weekend, we had a busy week of deliveries and shipments during the short holiday week, and now am enjoying Thanksgiving with my fabulous family in Algona.

I hope your holidays are off to an enjoyable start, but don't forget about the order deadline of December 12. If you would like your holiday orders ready to ship for Christmas, make sure to order before the 12th and write in the "comment" section that this is a holiday order, otherwise it will be processed as normal.
All orders after the 12th will be processed the first of January. If you'd like more information, click on the banner on our homepage
