Feeler for Potential Venture?

Feb 18, 2009 03:01

So I wanted to see what people thought about a chocolate making venture I'm considering. It would almost definitely be through etsy first, then potentially expanding to include a website and somesuch. I would buy my chocolate from a supplier that does it's own processing and roasting, hand temper the chocolate myself, cast it in molds and fill it ( Read more... )

SWEET!...literally. xclmatnptofdoom February 18 2009, 16:17:16 UTC

delicious. I want to start a cheesecake business, maybe we could go in together! Haha, if only you guys lived in Boston...

Good luck! balladsofmirth February 18 2009, 23:26:02 UTC

The Fall and Winter selections should phenomenal. I would be interested in your products!

i wish you all the luck. when i get some money, i'd buy from you. i should say that if you put together a 'dark' box, i'd probably buy that sooner. i'm not a fan of milk chocolate (anymore, not since i met cadbury in england and haven't found good stuff since), and white chocolate tastes like powdered sugar to me.

i'm afraid my budget doesn't allow splurges like this at the moment, but i'd sure try it if it did. your combinations sound intriguing.

speaking of etsy, though... i signed up for my crochet, but i don't have anything readily available at the moment. can you sell food on there? like, i could make a cake or cookies, and ship them off? because i know that it falls under the "homemade" stipulation, but i wasn't sure about selling food. anyway, idle question. just hoped you knew more about etsy than me. :)

Yep, there's a section called "Plants and Edibles" - that's where foods, teas, seeds, veggies, etc. go.

AWESOME.

i guess i may have to change up what i'm offering online. :)

i still think your chocolate business will be a success if you can find your niche.

I notice a distinct lack of bacon. *smiles*

That said, I think that they sound awesome. Especially the watermelon-blood orange one, because not enough people make use of the fantasticness of blood oranges. (They're one of my favorite oranges. *smiles*) Also, passionfruit-tamarind? My friend Maggie would love you forevars (in a purely "omigod you're making tasty chocolate things with passionfruit i love you forevars!" sort of way, of course. *smiles*)
