Hi - I am a start-up renting kitchen space from a local organization. I want to be able to offer customers the option of picking the truffles for their boxes but currently do not have a large volume of sales. What are the best ways to store and manage small amounts of a large variety of truffles with limited kitchen time?

I would like to create a menu of my chocolates that features a picture of each flavor as well as have pictures of my chocolates on the website. How have you photographed your chocolates? Did you do it yourself? Is special lighting needed so they look 3D & shiny? Did you hire a photographer? Do you use a food photographer? Any help or insight would be appreciated.See More
