I love these little Italian chocolates...particularly the toadstools. The few times I've visited Italy in my life I've stocked up on a few of these cuties. If you ever run across them either abroad or in the States, stock up. I know that Miette in San Francisco carries them, but you'll pay more for them there than you will in Europe.
I love the way this bride used them in her wedding. It's something out of the beautiful little book, the Root Children. How fun would it be to incorporate a similar theme into a children's birthday party?

Do the mushrooms have liquid inside? Here in Austria, those little chocolate mushrooms with the painted styrofoam caps are considered a symbol of good luck, and are handed out as gifts on New Year's Eve. The ones here are filled with cherry schnapps or brandy. I love them.
ReplyDeletelove the cute little mushrooms. I think when I am German next week I am going to see if I can find them.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, after I followed the bride link I realized it was the wedding story of Heather Ross the fabric designer. What a fabulous theme for a wedding, and the chocolates were perfect. Thanks for the link.

ReplyDeletetoo cute :)
Although I don't recall seeing the mushrooms, the chocolate bugs are available at Cummings Chocolates on 3300 South in Salt Lake.
ReplyDeleteI looove Caffarel Chocolate and have always bought them while in Italy (I'm not sure if you can get them anywhere here in Germany). But most of all I love Cafferel Gianduja, hmmmm!
