  1. Thanks to Gfron for helping me figure out how to post pics. Here are a few more pictures. This one was just painted into the mold, also a caramel I thought it was an interesting effect My spackled peanut butter and hazelnut butter cups These are by far my favourite, sooo tasty The effect my chocolate making has on my son Riley (hence Smiley Riley). They make him delirious!!!
  2. Here i go again to try and post my first pictures. My Norman Love tribute Ahhhh i think it's working now. This is my 1lb box for Valentine's day Here are some close ups of my babies This one was with a magnetic mold, filled with blackberry fondant These are my soft caramels
  3. Hello everyone this is my very first post here on egullet!!! I have been reading all your posts for the last few months very eagerly ( and have yet to make a dent in the baking forum threads, lol). I have learned so much from you all, and feel very greatful to have you all as a resource, a veritable wealth of knowledge, thank you all. Anyhow, I am a thoroughly addicted new chocolatier. I took a few workshops in the Fall, on Belgian chocolate making, and around the same time found you all, I have not looked back since. Christmas was really fun time to experiment and make a fair number of gifts for family and friends around 500, good start. The techniques I have seen in here as well as some of the great books I have in my collection now, Grewelling's and Wybauw's Great experience, have led to some fun experiences and lots of creative release in the kitchen. Chocolate is great!!!! I would love to make this new passion into a business too , one day soon. I actually just got through my first Valentine's Day where I decided to try and sell some of my creations. WOW!!! I was not prepared for the response, I spent a few 15hr days last week ( with my great wife's help) filling the avalanche of orders. Boy does packaging chocolates ever take a long time, great experience though. Anyway I really just thought this would be a great time to share a few of my chocolates, my babies, to the people who helped me get this far. Well i can't figure out how to post pics? If anyone can help i'll have my pictures up ASAP!!! Peter
