Bear attempts to steal chocolate factory
Posted on July 6, 2010 at 10:56am 2 Comments 0 Likes
I arrived home from a road trip in the wee hours on the 4th of July and was too tired to unload the car. In addition to all the equipment for my new chocolate factory I'll be opening in the fall, I had 400 lbs of cocoa butter and over 150 lbs of beans in the back of the car. I was convinced that I had the best smelling car (especially at the end of a two week road trip).
The next morning I had confirmation of just how good it smelled. When going to open the back of the car, I noticed… Continue

Dan Corson said… Hi Erin.
Hey, I thought we should introduce ourselves since we are almost neighbors. We live mostly in Seattle, but have a cacao farm on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. Our trees have just started to produce and I heard we had a harvest of 150 pods yesterday.
I assume you will be at the PNW Chocolate Festival next wkend? Perhaps we can meet there? We will be joined by another couple that have some land north of us who are planning on planting cacao over the holidays. I love this Hawaii/PNW connection.
If you want to contact me, use my other email address: dan@corsonart.com I don't make it here all that often.
aloha,
Dan and Berndt

Erin,
The white chocolate bar molds have 3 cavities each and each bar measures 6" x 2-7/8". There are six bar molds available.
Thanks,
Wilhelm

Hi Erin,
I am interested in purchasing 3 of those magnetic molds, one of each type. I am new to all this. How do I purchase from you? Thanks for your help.

- Could we be any further away from each other. I think shipping is about a thousand for standard freight. I will keep you posted if we are unable to sell it.

Danielle said… - Hi Erin...Haven't had a chance to use the temperer...it's been too hot here and my place doesn't have air conditioning. But I am thinking of getting up at 4 to try it out tomorrow morning.
As for the marshmallows, air is best, but you can do a gelatin base or egg base. I am trying to figure out once I get my new mixer, what I want to do. Egg based marshmallows don't last as long, but gelatin ones are denser. I will have to wait and see. My new mixer should be here this week.

- Hi Erin...got the temperer today...now I just need to set it up to use it...haven't had much chance to open all the boxes...just got the chocolate stored in a cool place...
Thanks again for your help.

- Erin-
Just the mixer went out. I need something that can puff my marshmallows up a bit...so there goes another $400. Oh well...it's just money...can't take it with you...
Other than that all is well.
Take care.

- Hi Erin-
Thanks for checking for me. I await trying the machine and the milk chocolate too.
Caramels are going well...I just created a maple and a black cherry.
I burnt out my mixer on marshmallows and am now in the process of buying a professional mixer for my kitchen here...kind of glad that I only bought one tempering machine.
