Debbie Kingsbury sifted through her well-organized assortment of chocolate candy molds – letters, pops and holiday themes – and selected one to make a heart-shaped box. Her wheels were turning as she thought about ways to use it – a way to make someone's Valentine's Day extra special. The mold is similar, she said, to one that she once used to create a specially-ordered chocolate jewelry box for a gentleman in which to present a diamond engagement ring.
Kingsbury, the owner of Debbie's Specialty Cakes, runs a cozy bakery - fully-licensed and certified – that is attached to her home in Union. She is well known for her artfully-designed cakes,Soma cubepuzzle Muscle Tissue Relaxants Before proselytizing any of the plans, which she has been making for 30 years, but Kingsbury is also trying to become as well-known for her specialized chocolates. She hosts open houses at Easter and Christmas to display and sell her confections.
“Not very many people, I feel,Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? know that I do this,” said Kingsbury, who explained that she is trying to expand her market. “I don't know how to reach people.”
Her boxed confections come in a variety of types, including sugar-free, turtles and chocolate-covered cherries. “Turtles were very big this last Christmas,” said Kingsbury.
The work station was scattered with individual chocolate edibles: chocolate-covered, crispy-rice hearts; chocolate-covered pretzels; cute candy frogs (a.k.a. “Herbie's Toadies and Midnight Croakies”); and solid chocolate hearts. The chocolate possibilities seemed endless as she demonstrated some of the other ingredients she uses. Fondant, caramel, toffee, malt, nuts, cookies, glitters, sprinkles and a hand-crafted touch make each and every chocolate unique and personal.
Using her creativity, 25 years of chocolate experience and her stock of ingredients, Kingsbury is something like a mad-scientist, cottage-industrialist who is constantly creating and defining her chocolates. “This is where we melt the chocolate down,” said Kingsbury, as she opened the door to an antique oven - as if opening the lid of a treasure chest. “This oven is at a constant 100 degrees.”
It was filled with bowls and containers of white, milk and semi-sweet chocolate. It was a chocolate-lover's dream come true. “The chocolate that we use is a gourmet chocolate,This is our brand new chickencoop we made.” said Kingsbury,Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? who explained that she periodically travels to a bakery supplier located in Providence, R.I., to purchase chocolate and other ingredients in bulk. “I buy it in 25-pound boxes,You can find best china electronicplasticmoulds manufacturers from here!” said Kingsbury, which she said is the amount she would use for a Valentine's Day open house. By comparison, a Christmas open house would require 100 pounds of chocolate; Easter, 150 pounds.
As she spoke, Kingsbury transferred milk chocolate into the heart-box mold. She then spooned milk and white chocolate into elegant, heart-shaped lollipop molds. Once set, she carefully popped them out of the molds, and hand-decorated each one, using iridescent powders until the edibles resembled porcelain keepsakes.
“I like to create, I like pretty things,” said Kingsbury. “I like to make something attractive.”
From cute to glamorous, whimsical to traditional, each chocolate that Kingsbury creates is individually-decorated and specially-packaged. She takes special orders and works with customers to create personalized confections and cakes.
Kingsbury said that customers who call, leave a message and request a chocolate order by Feb. 12 may still obtain candies in time for Valentine's Day. She also said that she will lease cake pans to customers who would like to create their own cakes, but who do not want to buy a specialty cake pan.
