Hello 👋🏼

Unfortunately, I won’t be at the market today.

I got down to my pitch this morning, but after seeing the weather conditions, I made the difficult decision not to set up. With the heavy rain, I don’t want to risk any water damage to the chocolates and compromise their quality.

I’ll be in Keswick this morning, so if anyone was hoping to pick up chocolates today, please send me a message and I’d be happy to arrange collection.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to see you all again soon! 🍫🤎

☀️ Little holiday notice ☀️

If you’d like an online order posting before the 13th, please get your orders in this weekend as I’m taking a couple of weeks off for some sunshine and my brother’s wedding 💒 🏖️💛

The Chocolate Cottage is fully stocked while I’m away, so there’ll still be lots of chocs available there 🍫

My lovely mum will still be doing the Keswick Market on Thursday 14th May 😊 I won’t be at the market on the 21st May though, sorry!

I’ll be back to making chocs from the 26th ✨

Thank you all so much for keeping me busy and supporting my little business all the time! 🫶🏻

Lots of love,
Dora 👩🏼‍🍳

Raspberry Eton Mess Slabs 🩷

A thick slab of creamy white Belgian chocolate with raspberry pieces and crunchy fresh meringue 😍

I’ll have a few of these with me at Keswick Market tomorrow if you fancy a treat ✨

Thinking these might need to become a regular… what do you think? Should I add them to the website? Any flavours you would like? 👀

I’ve had an absolute disaster this morning… I’ve somehow managed to spill chocolate EVERYWHERE 🫣🍫
Obviously I can’t let it go to waste, so everyone is welcome to come with a spoon and help me clean it up 😉

New product! 🍫

These bad boys aren’t just any old chocolate bars, they’re made using dark chocolate produced in-house by Carvetti in Threlkeld. Carvetti are coffee roasters but are branching out into the world of chocolate too! 😋

They very kindly reached out to me to be one of the first to use their chocolate, which feels really special 🤎

As they put it, they’re focused on “producing the best chocolate possible using simple, high-quality ingredients” and you can really taste that.

I love being able to use something so local and thoughtfully made 🤎

I’ll have a small batch available at tomorrow’s market, and the weather forecast is looking very good, I can’t wait ☀️

Hello!👋🏼

Firstly, sorry I’ve been a little quiet the last few days I’ve been catching up on behind-the-scenes admin (which I highly doubt anyone would want to see!) and starting my Christmas celebrations with Josh, family, and friends.

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported my business in 2025 and during the run up to Christmas. Whether you’ve bought chocolates, followed along, sent a kind message, complimented my work, or stopped to say hello at a Christmas market, I truly appreciate it. Also, a huge thank you to my wonderful helpers who have came to markets, helped box chocolates or answered the phone when I’ve been on my own making chocolates for 10 hours and need company! 🤣

I feel so grateful and lucky that this gets to be my job. Your support is what makes it all possible.

I’m taking a week off, so I won’t be posting much, but I want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.

I hope everyone who has ordered chocolates for themselves or as gifts this festive season enjoys them!

Lots of Love,
Dora 🍫👩🏼‍🍳🤎

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that unfortunately I’ve had to temporarily pause online orders while I catch up on the lovely orders already placed.
I’ve been incredibly lucky to receive so many over the last week, and I’m so grateful for every single one. I honestly wish I could take on more right now, but I’m officially at full capacity!

Thank you so much for understanding. I’m aiming to restock the website by the end of this week so final orders can be placed by Monday the 15th.

Thank you, truly,
Dora 🫶🏻
