Today, I dropped by Wickerhead (the artisanal chocolate shop at 2375 Queen East in The Beach) to deliver some copies of my guides. (They're part of The Beach Quaint Stroll, walk #25 in Toronto Urban Strolls 1.)
I caught the chocolate Artisan and owner Sharon Shoot as she was carefully displaying a big turkey made out of the finest Belgian dark chocolate.
We chatted a bit about the challenge of taking such a delicate chocolate sculpture out of its mould. (I'm impressed by the skills required since I can't even unmold Jell-O!)
Sharon confessed she's cried over a few broken "babies" but the one she was holding was a beauty! She had a couple in the shop and they retail for $54.
Wickerhead is one of the artisanal chocolatier offering the best price for such quality. Sharon was trained at The Callebaut Chocolate Academy and loves creating chocolate sculptures.
Good news! They're open throughout Thanksgiving weekend for last minute treats and hostess gifts: Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Thanksgiving Monday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
While you're there
In the coming weeks, Glen Stewart Ravine in The Beach will be a great option to admire fall colours without getting out of the city! (See my description of this park on torontofunplaces.com, with notes about nearby parking.)
Wickerhead chocolate shop is just 4 blocks east of Glen Manor Drive East and West Drives, framing the little park leading to the entrance to the ravine.
