Chocola-Tuti: The Real Work

Hi guys!

Last Saturday, I went all the way to Louvain for a workshop at Chocola-Tuti!
You might remember the name from my post about the little workshop I did at Libelle Winterfair.

I had set my alarm at 7 A.M. to be sure to be there on time. I arrived half an hour too early. Perfect to discover the street and just enough time to make it to the old market of Louvain and back.
I didn’t mind the rain but I was happy I hadn’t arrived way earlier than this.

Mieke welcomed me and the others at Chocola-Tuti like a real host! She’s just such a friendly and happy person.
She could make us forget about the rain (we Belgians tend to complain a lot about rain…)
The table was all set!

A very happy Easter thanks to Albert Heijn

We collect chocolate eggs the Easter Bunny and the Easter Clocks have thrown in our gardens whereas others collect painted boiled eggs…
Am I happy to live in the land of chocolate ;)
Seriously, if there is one thing I can’t live without, it’s got to be chocolate!

Dreamy Hippos & Chocolate Clouds: Barù

Hi guys!

Remember that awesome stand at Salon du Chocolat? With the colourful wrappings?
Let me help you. It was Barù!

They were so kind to send me a package with their delicious goodies. I felt like a little child who has been given a lollypop when the mailman brought it! A beautiful box with even more beautiful stuff inside!
I LOVE their colourful wrappings! They make you instant happy :D

And what’s inside makes you even more happy. Barù has come up with super fun names for their products. Their chocolates are called Dreamy Hippo’s and the marshmallows are Chocolate Wrapped Clouds. I love it!

Everything is crazy-delicious!
Now it’s time for you to meet my new loves.
