Lovely post by Apryl Chapman Thomas titled 12 Days of Christmas: Experience the Holidays Along Georgia's Hospitality Highway. Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates is pleased to be included in the article.

Happy Holidays

Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates + Holiday Gift Baskets

It is that time of the year when we spend limitless hours in our chocolate factory creating all types of chocolate treats. We enjoy putting together gift baskets for our clients. Our baskets are unique because they are not prepackaged, they are made based on our clients' requirements.



Below are pictures of a corporate gift basket order.

The baskets were beautiful!

This client loves dark chocolate so everything was created with dark chocolate.

The baskets included the following: dark chocolate truffles, chocolate covered Italian espresso beans, chocolate covered roasted almond and pecan clusters, chocolate covered oreos, chocolate covered pretzels, hot chocolate, handmade chocolate chip cookies topped with pecans, and so much more.

Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates + Cumming + Bald Ridge Lodge

While working on this fundraiser, we have been blessed to have our friends, the community and Bald Ridge Lodge very involved in the groundwork. I received a quote last Saturday morning from a friend that summed up this fundraiser...... "purchase one gift to give two away".

Bald Ridge Lodge is a charity that changes lives. This change not only impacts these young men, but their parents, siblings, friends, community and so many others. Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates has raised thousands of dollars for different charities like Homes for our Troops, Abba House, Walsman Family Adoption and so many more.

So this is your call to action, help us change lives. What greater purpose is there in life.

Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates + Custom Wedding Favors + Atlanta

In October, we had the opportunity to design custom chocolates for Sydney + Chris' wedding reception. It was a blast working with Sydney to design her perfect truffles. Sydney feel in love with our raspberry dark chocolate truffle when we first met during a Bloomingdale's bridal event.


Since her wedding colors were white, silver and black, we tried to incorporate each color in the different aspects of the wedding favors.

The truffle outer coat was white chocolate. We used fresh raspberries and dark chocolate to create the center ganache.

A cute platinum favor box was selected and black glitter European ribbon was the finishing touch.
