Easter Frolics: La Maison du Chocolat Unveils a Pastoral, Hand-Crafted Collection for Spring
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 29, 2013) - To welcome the onset of Spring, the Master Chocolatiers of La Maison du Chocolat have spun a yarn starring Frisoton and Frisette.
Nicolas Cloiseau, Master Chef of La Maison du Chocolat, painted a pastoral scene depicting the candid expressions of good-natured sheep, rolling chocolate hills sprinkled with praline eggs and chocolate daisies.
Shaped, rolled, and sculpted entirely by hand, this joyful flock is the result of long, meticulous work showcasing the chocolate mastery. The perfect curls of the sheep's fleece are drops of rolled up chocolate slivers, and the chocolate horns of the rams are polished, the expressions crystallized in ivory and dark chocolate. Surrounding the sheep are meticulously woven spools of wool and hand-painted daisies. The fence slats are etched and polished with cocoa butter, and the ground is made of chocolate soufflé.
The exceptional savoir-faire of La Maison du Chocolat turned a fantasy in chocolate into reality.
Happy Easter!
