Best chocolate school

Yes, I know. They are also lucky that their grandfather was born before them. (This was my late father's favorite expression, meaning that without their grandpa and daddy, where would they be). I bought a wrapping machine from Switzerland. The mistake I made was not to go to Switzerland to check them out. Machine cost me $30K and it never worked. "Beautiful looking" but never worked. It was a nightmare from hell. The manufacturer was a big weasel pig and joins the line of many more. Suffice it to say that I managed to find someone who said he could help. I am very mechanical, so we put my ideas into the process. Finally two years after it arrived, we had it to the point that it was ready to go. But I had to change the type of foil we were using. Then a battery that ran the computer died. No where in the specs was there mention of a battery. The program was lost. It defaulted back to another program. That was the end for me. I sent it off to Union... who said that they could get around $12K for it. Well, they got $5K and that was that. Didn't even give me a chance to refuse the amount, it had already been packed and shipped to the middle east. I was so tired of fighting at that point, that I just accepted it. It has been an uphill grind working with so many useless liars in this industry. I could write a book...but the stress of even thinking about it, makes me crazy. Did you try Jansen? Forget his first name. I will look it up for you. He's a really nice guy. Jeff why don't you call me to chat anyway. 802-862-5814. xxoo Linda

Ha! I've lived in Buffalo for two years after moving from Oakland, Ca, where I had multiple artisan choc shops within walking distance. That there's known as fountain candy in these parts and it is loved. I stopped trying to make it work for me after a month -- mostly because my husband ate all the rejects and he couldn't take the experimental buying any more.
