How it all began...

This is the fast version of how a graphic designer and a pastry chef got together to form a minor chocolate industry (soon to be major, people, just give us time). David and I have been friends for years, and we've always toyed with the idea of starting a business. One night, about a month after I'd graduated from culinary school and started the first of my crazy hotel adventures, David called and essentially said..."what about chocolate?" I said, "you know, that's not a bad idea. I could do chocolate." A few weeks later, we sat down and started writing up the plans. A month later, I started experimenting with flavors, and a month after that we sent out samples to select friends. I don't think either of us had any idea that it would be a full year before we were ready to start selling, or that it would take us almost that long to find an acceptable name for our fledgling operation.
