The Chocolate Fudge Cafe

Cacao beans and pod

Not wanting to be remiss in updating my blog, I’ve decided that I would let everyone know what’s been going on in my world.  As boring as that may seem for some, it’s been quite a ride for me!

We came back from the Natural Product Expo in Vegas with a new purpose, and that is to take Earth’s Sweet Pleasures to the next level!   Our company is about to explode, and in order to do that, we need funding!  As with every other part of this process called “owning your own business”, we have embarked on a new learning curve:  how to find funding sources!  We have talked to banks, government organizations, business owners, angel investors, and have spent a lot of time online looking at funding sites.  As with all parts of this roller coaster ride, this has been a lot of fun too.  If you know of anyone or any group who would like to invest in a sustainable company that is growing rapidly, let me know.

Meanwhile, our fudge is going Hollywood.  It will be featured in a celebrity room at the Emmy Awards.  It’s also going high-fashion at a New York fashion exhibit and high-end at a Marin County, California Wine Auction.  In addition, our fudge is being reviewed by magazine editors and will appear in at least 3 articles very soon.  I will keep you “posted” on all this, which is happening in September and October. 

Be sure to continue to visit the Chocolate Fudge Cafe, as I will be adding more recipes and some more info on the chocolate slavery trade, which we all need to fight against by purchasing only fair-trade chocolate products.  Remember, put your money where your heart is!  Make sure to research where your chocolate is coming from.

btw…did you know that raw cacao, by it’s very nature, is ORGANIC?  This is because the cacao tree cannot produce fruit if there are any chemicals or pesticides used on it.  It’s only after some food producers get their hands on the raw cocoa that it can be transformed into something other than naturally organic.  Make sure to look for the Fair Trade logo and the USDA organic label when you purchase your chocolate.  You can read more about what this on my blog.

There is much more exciting news on the horizon my friends.  To be continued….
