Method

Fit for a Queen!

In April/May of 2022, we hosted a chocolatiering competition for the Platinum Jubilee. And here’s an entry from our winner!

This Pimm’s & Lemonade concept was imagined by the lovely Deborah Symon, a self-taught home chocolatier from East Hampshire.

Deborah envisioned a juicy, fizzy, truly Pimm's concoction encased in a dark chocolate cup, inspired by the joy and celebration of British summertime - we think her concept evokes just that!
