A few weeks ago, we had a chance to review and their win at the Americas Selection of the Coupe du Monde de la Pâtisserie (Pastry World Cup) with Pastry Chef En-Ming Hsu. She's also got a drinking chocolate called Sip Extraordinary Drinking Chocolate. While it's way too hot for a warm cup of comfort right now, it's going to change soon enough (like tomorrow?) and you'll want one. We'll sip some cold drinking chocolate next.
