We are excited to appear in the Jan/Feb 2010 edition of Park Place Magazine as contributing designers for a chic girls-only get-together at the Donna Toscana Chocolate Lounge in Cranford, NJ (http://www.donnatoscana.com/). Event planner Jenny Orsini envisioned an innovative party where chocolatinis were served up South Beach style. Orsini reserved this private party space and decorated it with a tropical flair for an intimate evening of unbelievable chocolate decadence!
The swanky, yet casual, setting was achieved with white leather banquettes and lighted Lucite coffee and end tables. The party space was completely draped in white to define the space and keep it bright,clean, and true to theme. Chic tropical florals and a scattering of candles in white, aqua, and chocolate browns completed the decor.
These lucky girls were catered to by the masterful chocolate artisan, Diane Pindar, who served hand-made chocolates as innovative and modern as the party setting. Her signature olive-oil and sea-salt chocolates dazzled the diners along with chocolate fondue, cake, and favors. When you visit, and you must, try my personal favorite, Thai chocolate - an exotic mix of peanut butter, coconut, fresh ginger, and African piri-piri pepper.
So much for New Year's resolutions....
Enjoy,
Michael
