Chocolate Adventure Contest

Chocolateadventure

It’s a Chocolate Adventure Contest brought to you by Scharffen Berger Chocolate and Tuttfoodie. And this year it’s centered around cupcakes. Yippee!

Anyone can enter and the more the merrier. For me anyway, because I get to be one of the judges. That means I get to taste lots of your yummy creations… if you enter. Please enter. I’d love for one of you to win. By the way – super excited to be in such great company. These guys are amazing.
