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.

"Custom"er Cake!

Last week I had the fun opportunity to bake a cake for a very special customer. This customer has been a true joy with his with word of mouth advertising, repeat orders and has the honor of being my first customer....ever! (with an order of Rocky Road popcorn and Marbled Cheesecake brownies)! Ben is not only one of my most loyal customers, but he's just one of those guys that is a true friend to those around him, has great work ethic, and is a "stand-up" kind of person.

His need last week was for an anniversary cake for his parents, and after prompting him for some wedding details, we came up with this: a classic white wedding cake, filled with chocolate ganache, topped with a sour cream fudge frosting and accented with daisies, blue detailing and a pearl border. (wedding color was blue and daisies were the flowers). Verdict on the cake? Parents loved it! That is something I always love to here :) So thank you Ben for being a wonderful customer and for making my first order EVER such a great experience, it truly means so much to me!!!!
Other news...A new Reason for the Season is here! http://www.thechocolateseason.com
Now you don't have to choose between Bejeweled and Hand-dipped truffles, because for a limited time only, The Chocolate Season 8-piece truffle box will feature both types of chocolates as well as a one or two special "sneak peak" caramels! (which will not officially release till this fall)
To even "sweeten" deal, we will be giving you the opportunity to purchase this box of chocolates with a 20% discount, making it only $7.75! So now is the perfect time to give that special someone (even if it's yourself)...something special :0)I hope this week gives you time to make memories, or to contribute in the making of someone else's (like Ben!) And just like Ben, if you ever are in need of a special birthday, anniversary, or "just for fun" cake...the sky is the limit... so don't be shy! Just ask! contact@thechocolateseason.com
