Hey peeps… are you still hanging out here? 👀🍫
Just a heads up — we’ve MOVED! Yep, we’ve shifted over to our shiny new home: 🎉

Over the past 6 months, a lot has changed — our chocolate’s got wilder, our name’s changed, and we’ve grown with the times (and the sugar rush!).

So if you still love chocolate chaos, edible monsters, and Trace’s usual nonsense, make sure you’re following us over at Lab Cocoa Workshop 💥 Before we shut this old profile down like a melted chocolate in summer.

With love (and a bit of cocoa dust),

What an incredible evening we experienced at our adult chocolate workshop last night! The room was filled to the brim with wonderful and skilled individuals. They delved into the craft of creating nine exquisite artisan chocolates, mastering everything from painting the molds to skillfully filling them with chocolate to form a delightful shell, and then adding a luscious Tahitian vanilla ganache… absolutely divine!

Participants also savored cherry-smoked hot chocolate and had the chance to sample a variety of our delectable bars and desserts.

The masterpieces they created were truly stunning! We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and we look forward to welcoming you back for another workshop soon.

At Lab Cocoa Studio, we’ll be open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, inviting you to shop for chocolates and join our mini workshops. You can also stop by for a hot chocolate or coffee, and if I manage to whip up our brownies, you’re in for a treat—they’re simply divine!

We’ll offer pre-workshops that require booking for a more in-depth experience.

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting Scartho Junior Academy to host our educational chocolate workshop. We always kick things off with an inspiring message: you can be anything you aspire to be, so dream big and embrace all the wonders the world has to offer!

Reflecting on the past seven and a half years, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come. It all began during a family Christmas dinner, themed around Alice in Wonderland, where we (hubby and me) crafted a nine-course menu and took charge of the dessert. That experience ignited my passion for chocolate, leading me to create three delightful courses that fueled my desire to learn more about this sweet treat.

Just six months later, I found myself selling chocolates in a quaint shop alongside other local artisans—my very first taste of shop life! John, my husband, and I chuckled at the thought of me ever owning a chocolate shop with just one collection… (that would never happen)

The journey unfolded with various workshops, shops, the challenges of COVID, and so much more. Now, as we fast forward to today, I can hardly believe that this Saturday, we will be opening our very own chocolate shop, a vibrant 77 square meters filled with passion and determination.

The takeaway from this adventure is to never give up on what you believe in!

A heartfelt thank you to my family and friends for their unwavering support, for letting me express my feelings, and for encouraging me to chase my dreams. And a big thank you to all of you for sharing, purchasing, and loving everything we make and do X.
