Chocolate fairy statue in Russia.
September 13 is International Chocolte Day, according to the US national Confectioners Association. 22 September is White chocolate Day. 20 October is Office chocolate day. November we are all busy with pumpkins and apples. 16 Dec is chocolate covered anything day.
I am researching for my slides on chocolate. I am making chocolate the them of meetings in September and October for my toastmasters international speakers' club, Braddell Heights Advanced. Come along and join out Chocolate Party!' is my selling point and I have spent days researching chocolate for my speech and slides.
The Chocolate Museum in Russia is my latest discovery. They have the world's first and only statue to chocolate, outside the museum. It is about 60 miles from Moscow, in a small town where the main employer is Kraft, who produce the Gold chocolate.
When Kraft planned the sculpture, they ran a competition for the best design. The wining sculptor was a specialist in sand sculpture.

Chocolate Lava Cake
The handy website of the museum also had information about shops in Belgium and recipes for items such as the Lava cake, a chcolate cake with a melting hot filling. I like the way they have respberries on top to offset the overload of chocolate. Want to know how to make the cake and be sure it stays melting and does not set? Go to their site and wikipedia.
