As an avid chocoholic and budding aficionado of all things chocolate covered, I clicked my heels at the thought of a chocolate show. When I heard about the Chocolate Luxury Show, I almost fainted. Grabbing my trusty camera I headed straight to Roy Thompson Hall to get my chocolate fix, pronto!Entering the hall I was greeted by a stunning brunette in a red gown at the end of a long and luxury red carpet. She presented me with a casino chip to vote on my favourite chocolate chef and I was off! Back for it’s 6th year the Toronto Chocolate Festival is the biggest chocolate event in the city. Your ticket gets you samples of savoury chocolate infused food and chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!This is the event where CHOCOLATE is featured in all its magnificent and tasty form. Although, I was sad to see that some of my favourite Toronto chocolatiers were missing, there was vendors galore showcasing what they do best! The best truffle, goes hands down to Odile Chocolat.
But we have been in love with her for a long time now. (She is a short walk from our office headquarters.) Find out why we love her here:http://choco-locate.com/shops/odile-chocoat/ Best chocolate bar goes to Brix Chocolate because who doesn’t want to pair chocolate with fine wine? And best outfit goes to this lady, for sporting a lollipop dress!But the afternoon wasn’t just about eating chocolate, it featured chocolate events as well. There was the chocolate chef challenge, the chocolate making roundtable, chocolate henna and the 9-1-1 Chocolate Relay. (See below for the relay winners from last years race.) But despite all this my favourite was the chocolate spa party. When you combine relaxation, diva nails and chocolate together- I am in bliss!For more info about ongoing events this month at the 2011 Toronto Chocolate Festival visit: http://www.torontochocolatefestival.com/
