c6 ttubune novembebf2si9 theresa yake tasty hobby now booming business by denise mcdonald some might say shes a combina tion of willy wonka the easter bunny and laura secord all rolled into one others might refer to her as a culinary princess in the world of succulent treats but whatever the case whitch- urchstouffville resident theresa yake may soon become one of this areas leading authorities on the art of crafting handmade specialty chocolate according to theresa her choco late making prowess started as a hobby when she attended a oneday course with her mother at the age of 11 after that i started making chocolate gifts for my family at christmas and easter said the kennedy road resident however while working at a bak ery in markham theresa sug gested the owner try her chocolate when he showed interest in purchas ing some elsewhere he said to bring it in and when he tried it he fell in love she said he right away told me to think of a name for my own chocolate com pany so his wife could have it reg istered thus theresas treats was born a name she claimed was ar rived upon thanks to the culmina- tive effort of family and friends afterwards theresa launched a strenuous campaign to fill the abundance of orders for her special ty chocolate that began pouring in while i was going to school it was not uncommon for my days to begin at 6 am and end at mid night she said and now that im working full time i have to spend all my free evenings and days off working with the chocolate theresa claimed she uses both dark and white chocolate wafers which must be melted down before they can be set into molds before i even put the chocolate in i have to paint the different colors on the mold she explained then if i happen to be making something hollow i have to keep flipping it over and over so the chocolate doesnt congeal in the centre after the mold has set theresa then sticks all appropriate pieces together with melted chocolate and trims off any excess included in her impressive selec tion of handcrafted specialty items are chocolate houses christmas sleighs easter bunnies chickens and eggs valentine hearts solid chocolate suckers and other filled items the peak time is at easter she said last year i sold over 500 eggs not to mention all the rabbits and chickens on top of that sometimes when i get really busy mom and dad have to give me a hand she added but i still hope someday theresas treats will be come big enough so i can make it a full time job what originally began as a hobby after taking a one- tured of kennedy road stouffville although she once day course with her mother at age 11 has now led to the sold to local businesses and bakeries theresa now formation of theresas treats a specialty chocolate operates solely out of her home and can be
