Beloved chocolatier Diana Schroyer- Robins isn't just the name helming the Yummy Tummy Cottage; it’s also the name of the expert confectioner who has taken chocolate covered treats to a whole new level. Starting in 1998 in her home on a little island in the sun in SW Florida, her craft has followed her up the eastern part of the US where she now bakes and handcrafts candies and chocolate covered d
elicacies outside the Philadelphia area. From the beginning to end of the chocolate-covering process, Diana assures the same great sweets known up and down the east. Her goal is to help bring back traditional handmade candy arts to the party table. Walking into Diana’s cottage you can see the efforts of the artisan chocolate production from the freshly made pots of different source chocolate spreads that have been shaped and flavored, focusing on their origin to create the product you enjoy! That chocolate then covers fresh seasonal fruit and favorite salty treats. Perusing this sweet cottage there are the neat, colorful little jars of sprinkles, nuts, and favorite candied toppings lined neatly on the buffet once belonging to her husband’s grandmother; surrounded with jarred ganache, chocolate-covered dried fruits, and artisan candies such as cherry cordials, peanut butter cups, chocolate toffee, truffles and her scrumptious candied apples. This self-taught confections master started over a decade ago with chocolate-covered pretzels where she took common ingredients and reinterpreted classic recipes. Each creation brings out a new flavor profile that enhanced the original idea. She still utilizes this technique today, with the large selection of desserts and candies found at the Yummy Tummy Cottage, and works to keep her sweets natural while using the best raw materials and her ever growing list of customers’ family favorites. Experiencing Diana’s kitchen cupboards you smell the sweet creative potential. Each shelf is full of wholesome baked goods ingredients and a refrigerator full of fresh cream, and pure Irish butter used to craft customers’ favorites from brownies to scrumptious pound cakes, charming mini cakes, Crème Brûlée, candied nut banana bread, scones, chocolate chip iced oatmeal cookies and everything in between. Diana uses fresh, seasonal, mostly local, organic and common favorites; customers get to choose their ingredients and their perfect party tray. Known for her sweet demeanor, generous spirit and artisan taste buds, Diana puts love and total confectioners’ mastery into each personalized creation that you welcome from her family cottage into your own home. You get to experience those yummy tummy rumblings of sweet anticipation just like her family and friends do sitting around her own family table when Diana’s Yummy Tummy Cottage treats arrive at your door. Diana’s handcrafted treats completely satisfy your taste buds and are made with the same love for your family and friends as her own and are sure to become a part of your family’s table traditions year after year.
