    We enjoyed a private class that took us from bean to bar. I…read morelove everything about Dwaar. Their mission to bring the finest beans and support independent farmers is amazing. The 70% dark chocolate is some of the best you will ever try! Our host and owner is so lovely, she was patient with the beginner questions and offered nothing but her extensive knowledge which is invaluable. A small tight production, you can see the care and attention to detail. They are the only chocolate make in the greater Detroit area, most others are chocolatiers who fashion their good from premade chocolates that are laden with sugar. With Dwaar you will taste the notes of the chocolate. And they should sell those roasted cacao seeds, they are delis and addictive! For high quality dark search them out!

    Dark chocolate is the least of my favorite chocolate variety, but after having a bite of DWAAR…read morechocolate I developed a deeper appreciation .. more so having after gaining knowledge on how the dark chocolate bar was originally made of ... from cacao beans imported from a country like Ecuador. Tons of dried beans are imported to Michigan, which is then roasted, shells removed, grind, mixed and tempered to shape as a bar, bonbon and other holiday shapes. Each bar individual bar is priced a bit higher than the commercial chocolate late because DWAAR chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa and much darker in color. The chocolate maker / owner of DWAAR chocolate is very passionate about her product. Be assured the she creates the highest quality of dark chocolate you can find only Michigan. The owner received an award and was featured in magazines, online and tv. I wish in the near future she will be able to mass produce and supply chocolate discs that can be melted and used as coating in fruits, chips, apples and pretzels. Must try the so-called sipping chocolate which is 100% dark.

Our chefs are keen to offer you the finest chocolate made with the utmost care so you can enjoy the sumptuousness of fresh chocolate at all our boutiques. We pride ourselves in using the highest quality cocoa butter, cocoa mass, sugar and milk. No colourings or preservatives are used. Premium ingredients are primarily mixed and refined to make the chocolate. The rich texture then undergoes the conching process to bring out its ultimate flavor and consistency and is then tempered to further enhance the overall quality. The tempered chocolate is then transformed into the chocolate you love. Every piece is molded to perfection and some are filled with a wide variety of enticing flavors. Each piece undergoes a quality check before being wrapped and stored under special conditions.

    I had a very disappointing experience today at Sweet Dreams Bakery on Orchard Lake Road in West…read moreBloomfield. When I walked in, I eventually said, "Hello," to get someone's attention. I understand employees may be busy, so that wasn't my concern. What bothered me was the customer service that followed. I asked for a small Berries Delight and pointed to the individual desserts on the left. Instead, the young man assisting me went to the cakes on the right and attempted to hand me a small cake. I politely stopped him and explained that I wanted the personal-sized Berries Delight on the left. He responded by saying, "Those are called slices," in a tone that came across as rude and condescending. I then asked if I could have a fresh one from the refrigerator because the one in the display case looked like it had been sitting there for a while. He insisted the display one was fine, but I repeated that I would prefer one from the refrigerator. He reluctantly got one and handed it to me, saying, "There's your fresh Berries Delight," in a sarcastic tone. I visit Sweet Dreams regularly--between this location and the previous one, I stop in about four times a month. I've always enjoyed your desserts, which is why this experience was so surprising. I've never been treated this way before. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because the quality of customer service should match the quality of your products.

It's off-season and I needed a raspberry tart to use for flavor cues for a client's launch of their new Raspberry Tart Wafer protein bar flavor. Due to a food allergy I didn't want to style the tart myself. I contacted a number of local bakeries as well as Plum Market, Whole Foods, Zingermans and more. None could accommodate my specific request. Finally, I came across sweet dreams and they were able to make me a beautiful raspberry tart to use for my images, based on the appearance, I wanted and in a timely manner. The location and store seem very nice too. And the pastry itself turned out great! Check out the images to see how pretty it was and how perfectly it worked.
