Pumpkin Patch truffles

Golden Wrapped Pumpkin Delights

One of the most traditional chocolate delights are truffles. Their soft, filled ganache centres, were traditionally soft-chocolate filled, but today, which the sophistication of culinary palates and creativity of chef chocolatiers, they offer more delectable  fillings such as nougat, creamy nut blends and fruit blends.

Leading Chocolatier, Godiva , which began in 1926 in Brussels is more than just chocolate, it is also a form of art and an expression of love. This international brand is known for its classy approach to branding itself, through the artistic designs of its chocolates, packaging & boutique style retail concept. Its wide collection of chocolates includes premium signature chocolate truffle assortment and elegantly boxed or wrapped truffles, that are symbols of friendship, or of love. One can simply say “Thank you” or “Happy Birthday” by buying perfectly printed detail ribbon tied boxes with their signature truffle assortment.

Through it’s attention to creating themes out of its cholocate, Godiva also creates some beautiful seasonal truffle collections such as the Fall Collection and the Halloween collection, which are filled with creamy pumpkin-spice ganache and enrobed in milk chocolate,  as well as covered in Godiva printed gold foil.

To celebrate its historical status, Godiva’s Chef Chocolatiers hand-selected the most iconic and delicious Godiva truffles in Godiva’s 60 years of truffle making history and the truffles that made Godiva famous, delivered in rich, textured, hand-crafted boxes adorned with a brass plaque.

Award winning Photographer, Tarun Khiwal’s bold expression of detail has created one of the mest photographers yet. His elaborate expressive detail is so refined that you can almost feel the texture ine ach photograph. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then we can be rendered almost speechless because we could not find enough words to express how much detail goes into his work.

My love for remote and exotic palaces and castles led me to this most amazing photo shoot I have witnessed in a while. Devigarh Palace is an 18th Century Palace which is now an international leading hotel and resort .The palace has 39 suites perfectly designed for royalty and uses materials such as marble and semi-precious stones. Such photography is rare and embodies such majesty that it only inspires one to dream.

One of my favorite accessories designers of all time is none other than Kara Ross. I saw a collection she did in a 2004 Vogue, and since then I have been hooked and I haven’t looked back.  Her collections have matured, and are more contemporary than ever, as she seems to understand how each woman is so different.  Her most recent combinations of skin and Gold have made my knees weak a few times over, and I think I’m still proud to be the biggest Kara Ross fan!

She started her company in 2003, and since then her stature is swiftly becoming a luxury brand of note. Her understanding of combining skin with stone & metal is immaculate, and maybe it’s because of diversification in creating both bags and jewelry. Kara Ross has since then birthed the Kara by Kara Ross Collection alongside her established Flagship collection.

Most recently, she has been going for more contemporary textures that combine so many elements into one, and her most recent bangle/bracelet collection the Jet Collection, offers a bold and unfathomable sense to whoever would buy it.
