We now accept all major credit cards! We are working to get the online purchase section squared away. For now we will have a menu posted on the "goodies" portion of the site (with photos of our truffles posted soon!). Please check in periodically to look for updates!This photo was taken by newspaper photographer Tim Barber and appeared in the Chattanooga Times Free Press 'Business' section here. Thanks to Anne Braly for coming out and interviewing us to spread the word.
Well, it happened... we were able to blow the roof off of our space here thanks to everyone who showed up for the grand opening. We've heard several people say that it was one of the biggest they've seen in years! Whoo Hoo!I suppose neither of us realized we would be giving a speech, so we were taken off guard. Wendy mentioned some thanks to a few, but we want to be sure to give the biggest thanks to the Chattanooga Opportunity Fund as they've helped us to fund this venture. Thanks to Elijah Cameron and Pete Palmer for all you've both done for us! Also, we'd like to thank Micah and Amber Kerby, Alice and Don Guider, and Linda...
Here is Wendy and Brandon Buckner standing in the kitchen of The Hot Chocolatier and preparing for the grand opening on January 30th, 3-7pm. Thanks to John Ringhofer for taking (and then mailing) the photo.
All works presented above were created by Wendy Buckner. The first piece shown won first place at the French Pastry School's "For The Love of Chocolate" Competition. (As the winner, Wendy was awarded with a Master Chocolatier Class under Jean Pierre Wybauw.)
See it for yourself! Go to The Hot Chocolatier (www.thehotchocolatier.com) to learn a little about who we are. We will SOON be posting a secure page where you can purchase chocolates online! We are so excited to be able to offer this to our customers.
