Awfully Chocolate
Awfully Chocolate was founded with one simple aim in mind: to create a really good chocolate cake. As it emphasizes quality over variety, it only sells dark chocolate cake (with layers of moist cake and fudge), ice cream, and truffles. A few variations are available, such as adding fresh banana or cherry and rum, and decorations for special occasions. Awfully Chocolate’s desserts are made under strict cocoa grade regulations that aren’t commercially available, and will have to be tasted to be believed. www.awfullychocolate.com
