Our Business Etiquette

Homemade Indulgence™

Brainchild of Charity Bareng a.k.a "C" has been in the business for four years now. It only started out as a hobby of making chocolates for personal reasons. Personal meaning, for my consumption only. Then when friends started tasting them, I had orders made from one metro city to another. Luckily I have not had a dissatisfied customer yet. I guess when you make it out of love and sincerity, it gets to them in very good condition, inside and out!

There have been copycats and the likes around, but nobody will beat the QUALITY of each chocolate cupcake made from my new and improved kitchen. All ingredients are fresh, if not opened from a sealed bag and chocolates are imported from either Canada or the U.S. I use to get my supplies from a local distributor but due to the foul trade that aroused a couple of months back, I found a more  upscale supplier with a higher cost, but a better consistency and the place isn't far at all.
