Chocolate Festival 2013!

What a better way to celebrate Mother's Day than with chocolate, chocolate and more CHOCOLATE!!! This year I got to help out Heather once again down at the Quail Botanical Gardens Chocolate Festival in Encinitas (check out last year here!) - it's always fun getting to visit while making all the pops (just about a thousand, to be exact) - however I was quite popped out for awhile after that, haha!
.
Mid-dipping - we had 5 flavors this year:  Chocolate Brownie, Vanilla Butter, Red Velvet, Lemon Lavender and Pink Champagne....delish!
.
All set up and ready to go! 
(Yes, Heather was on TV! She was on the show Sugar Dome on the Food Network!)
.
It was pretty darn hot this year....even with a "shade" over us, the sun blared through and we lost quite a few pops that way. Oh well, we still had fun and sold plenty :)
.
Had to get one of these for both of the kids - one of the booths had fun molded chocolate things, including these frogs, lizards, and much more :)
