Throwback

Blushing Berry Signature Truffles

A look back at the first collection of truffles I created for the Blushing Berry, a chocolate and pastry shop I started in 2013. It had been a lifelong dream to start something of my very own, and even now, just the images of what was created during those years brings back the best memories.

This was our Signature Collection.

liquor coated in milk chocoate and topped with hazelnut crunch.
