Lake Forest Confections officially opened on September 17, 2004, but the story of hand crafted confections began many years prior. The artisans at Lake Forest meticulously hand-craft chocolates and pastries that have been enhanced and changed during their passage thru generations.

The staff is a group of artisans with over 100 years of combined confectionary experience. Using only the finest and freshest ingredients this dedicated team creates luscious chocolates one batch at a time and each delicious morsel into a signature bite that any chocolate connoisseur will delight.

The recipes and expertise has been gathered over decades of travels throughout the world where classes in pulled sugar, gum paste, marzipan, la technique chocolate were studied, and apprenticed. But the ongoing education in the confectionary art continues daily, "we will never stop in our effort to make a better product."

Most of the recipes are straight forward, just a few ingredients, combined to create an extraordinary taste sensation. The Opera Cream is a an example. The ingredients, whipping cream, milk, sugar and vanilla. Put these into the hands of master candy maker and a voile', a decadent confection, other chocolates, are cooked in processes that take weeks. Whatever the favorite, Lake Forest hand crafts confections using time honored traditional methods, just the way you remember.

With all of the craftsmanship and artistry in each individual piece of chocolate it's unusual, for to see them packaged in just a plain white box. But that's the philosophy of Lake Forest. The quality is inside the box, not on the outside! Whether it be a gift of the finest Lake Forest Collection or a simple taste solid 70% cocoa chocolate, the Lake Forest taste is unparalleled.
