Working a fulltime job in a completely different industry, Donna decided to follow her passion of chocolate making; her journey saw her taking her annual leave to fly to Melbourne to train at Savour and purchase equipment, one piece at a time, before returning to her day job.
Fast forward past many more trips to Melbourne and many, many more late nights practicing and Donna came up with her Raspberry Heart; the driver and motivator which ultimately lead to her risking everything to make chocolate full time.
As the story goes, many years ago Donna had tasted a Raspberry chocolate filled with real raspberry; her attempts to find a similar chocolate in the years to follow would leave a void where real raspberry was replaced with confectionery fillings.
This drove a need to make one. The stunning success and numerous accolades that her signature Raspberry Heart chocolate has achieved is a testament to her determination.
In 2016 Donna established her first store in the town of Tenambit with her son Paul. The team has grown to 4 members now with all of our chocolate being hand-made to the same perfection that Donna originally envisioned.
