The City Sweet Tooth

Just got back from the first night of Chocolate & I! I liked the artwork at the multi-room art installation where the tastings were held and thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate and cheese pairing “Chemistry of Love” presented by Roni-Sue’s Chocolates and Saxelby Cheesemongers. I learned a lot! Comic to come! (Roni-Sue’s “Roni’s Roses-RedRose truffles pictured above)

Blame it on the upcoming V-day, but there are a load of amazing tasting events within the next week (and not just the Chocolate and I events)! Here are two that stand out!

Next week, Chocolate & I New York will be running all week long (just in time to get you inspired for Valentine’s Day chocolate). There is an amazing set of chocolate events, many of them free, being held in Chelsea. The City Sweet Tooth will be there covering several events! Included on their schedule are tastings, pairings, and discussions with City Sweet Tooth fave Roni-Sue’s Chocolates, plus other NYC chocolate faves, MarieBelle, La Maison Du Chocolate, Bond St. Chocolate, Bespoke Chocolates, and many others! Get all the details here!

I just got back from my first trip to France for the Angoulême Comic Festival and I made a stop in Paris on the way back! Here are some pictures I took at Angoulême!

It runs all February. Check the flavor calendar here!

The City Sweet Tooth will be in France for a week from 1/26. I’ll be signing my graphic novels Tough Love and Dolltopia at the Angoulême Comics Festival, and then in Paris for a bit. If you happen to be in France, come to the festival and say hello. Details here!

In the meantime, if you’d like to read some fun French inspired sweets blogs I recommend you check out Paris Breakfasts and Sweet Freak (by an ex- New Yorker)!

I got to attend this month’s Chinatown Cake Club, a private cake meet-up with cakes by Victoria Howe (the pastry chef of Macao Trading Company). It was a fun experience though it got pretty cramped at times. The cakes were fun and original and I was impressed with her choice of David Wojnarowicz for her featured artist cake!
