Ceramic Chocolate Creations

Recently, I met with Missy James an artist from Seattle that has a unique twist on the indulgent box of chocolates. They are beautiful and they glisten in their dark brown, paper beds beckoning you to try them, but they have you fooled. If you were to attempt to eat one of these truffles you would be disappointed to find that they are not edible- purely “eye candy”- and you would be struggling (literally) for they are glued into place. These ceramic creations are very true to life. As she and I sat and chatted about the boxes of chocolate it was apparent that she is thoughtful about the process and the outcome. She also has fun watching the look of surprise cross a persons face as they realize that they cannot indulge themselves of the lovely morsels they have their eyes on.
“What would I do with a box of chocolates I cannot eat?” you might ask. Well, many people enjoy them as a conversation piece or given as a gift. The latter is where we are most interested. Many brides and grooms wonder at the thought of giving a unique and timeless gift to those involved in their wedding day. These chocolates would definitely be a distinct present to receive. Also, they can be used as décor at your at your reception on your wedding day.
If you were to order an item, be sure to order in advance as each of these are handmade and glazed; preferably two months allowance. In order to customize the color of the box or color of candies, you may send a fabric swatch so that Missy can match the glaze as closely as possible to the color theme of your wedding; allow for even more time in custom ordering. The boxes come in three shapes- square, rectangular, and heart shaped, and as mentioned before you may customize the color or stick with the original black version. You can also have your initials or words painted on the candies. The price range for these scrumptious looking creations is $40 for a box of four all the way up to $450 for a large heart shaped box of about 50. Whatever you choose the recipient of this wonderfully unique gift will be able to enjoy these chocolates for a long time.
