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.
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.
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...
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...
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.

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.

Other than that all is well.
Take care.
