Chocolate plus Bed and Breakfast equals Two Sweet Businesses in Hammondsport NY

Chocolate entrepreneurs, Deborah Rader and Ray Olenzek, are the proprietors of a unique Chocolate Shop located at 69 Shethar Street in Hammondsport NY on Keuka Lake.

What makes their shop "The Chocolatier of Hammondsport" so unique is that originally when the couple arrived in Hammondsport 3 years ago they were searching for a Bed and Breakfast to buy. After taking over the Captain's Cottage Bed and Breakfast, they realized that they would need to find more streams of income to thrive.

Chocolatier friends from their home state of New Jersey suggested adding a Chocolate Shop and a new business concept was born: "Bed and Chocolate"!

Overnight guests are treated to a Chocolate Treat at bedtime and Chocolate Pastry in the morning. Ray tells new guests that "breakfast is across the street for $5.95..."we only do chocolate at the Captain's Cottage".

The Chocolate Shop nestled inside the house features some of the creamiest home made fudges that I have ever sampled and delicious One Pound Frozen Drinks (my family loved the Chocolate Fudge and Peanut Butter Fudge...the Frozen Mocha Drink was to die for!) They also sell Gourmet Chocolates made by their friends in New Jersey. Ray travels back to New Jersey every few days to replenish their inventory.

As good as the chocolate and ambience of the shop is....it is the personality and charm of Ron and Deborah that will bring us back to visit the only "Bed and Chocolate" in Hammondsport, New York!

Dove Chocolate Discoveries Chocolatier from Seattle WA Publishes "Scrumptious World" Blog with Recipes and New Dove Product Info

Seattle area's Ana Toussaint, a DOVE Chocolate Discoveries Chocolatier, from the state of Washington is the newest member of my team. Ana lives on Whidbey Island near Seattle. I like to tease her that she hosts the only Dove Tasting Parties that are smack dab in the Pacific Ocean! Well, sort of...google Clinton WA 98236 and you can see where she lives.

Anyway, Ana is a really sharp and creative person and has started a Wordpress Blog called Scrumptious World's Blog about her Dove Chocolate Discoveries business. What I like about her blog is that she is focusing on the Chocolate! Although the blog is brand new I can see that she plans to feature lots of recipes for all us foodies, cooks, bakers and chefs.

Plus she is finding interesting news items...check out the UK story about a new British Chocolate Study (150 British women are getting paid to eat chocolate everyday for a year! Don't worry Brits....someday Dove Chocolate Discoveries will be doing business in the UK and you can get all get paid just like us American Chocolatiers for eating Dove Chocolate....)

Be sure and check out Ana's blog. It is a fun read.

Till the next time......Carrie Geyer
