Materials Needed Pan Stainless or heatproof bowls Plastic molds Wooden and stainless spoons Chopping knife Knife Disposable plastic gloves A clean cloth Toothpick, lollipop stick, or plastic straw Bittersweet chocolate Peanuts, or other fillings may be raisins, marshmallows, walnut, pecans, almonds, or cashew nuts. Flutted paper cups P10 per 100pieces Boxes sized 3.5 x 5.5

How To Make the Chocolate Candies 1. Make sure all your utensils are clean and dry. Put on you plastic gloves and cut the chocolate block into small pieces so they melt faster. Place the chocolate blocks in a pan small enough to fit inside the boiler. If you dont have a boiler, just use a bigger pan that can accommodate the pan for melting chocolate. 2. Place the boiler containing water over the stove and let the water simmer.

3.

When the water simmers, put the pan containing the chocolate blocks inside the boiler, taking care that the water level doesnt reach the pans rim. Stir constantly using the wooden spoon until the chocolate melts completely and becomes smooth and thick.

4.

Pour the melted chocolate onto the mold or heatproof plastic containers. Use the stainless spoon to scrape off the sides of the pan. If you want fillings like nuts, marshmallows, rice crispies, raisins, or dried fruits, pour a tablespoon of chocolate first, then the filling of your choice, and coat with another spoonful of melted chocolate. Tap the mold or use regular straw to fix the fillings and remove air bubbles from the chocolate mold. Make sure the mold is fully covered.

5.

Cool for a few minutes and then put the chocolate mold inside the freezer for three minutes. When the three minutes are up, remove the mold from the freezer, Turn a mold upside down on a flat surface and tap gently to remove the candies. ( Another way to find out if the candies are ready is to see if the sides of the mold have turned white or cloudy.) If the chocolate doesnt come off easily, return the mold to the freezer to allow it to harden more.

6.

Place the candies in fluted paper cups and arrange them in a box. Decorate box with ribbon and card. The chocolates can last up to two weeks.

How Much Will I Make The total production cost for each box is P31.30. You can sell the chocolates for P40 per box and earn P8.70 from each box. Charge extra for more time-consuming processes, such as making chocolates with special designs.

At some point in their lives, most people express the desire to be in business for themselves. Limited resources, lack of expertise and fear of failure usually combine to prevent the majority from ever achieving financial independence.

The Chocolate Cake company is a family owned business that manufactures and delivers to your door, a rich dark chocolate mud cake, made with real chocolate and iced with real chocolate, in an attractive round gift box. In 1997, Murray and Elizabeth Thwaites bought the business and recipe from a guy who was operating out of a tin shed (literally) and churning out approximately 50 cakes per week. They stayed in those premises for a very short time, and then leased a factory in Otahuhu. The business gradually but steadily built from there, mostly through word of mouth. In March 2000 they relinquished the factory, and leased a shop in Howick that served as a bakery and shop front open to the public (until this stage the business had purely been a delivery service). In July 2002, they saw an opportunity for another shop in Wellington as there was no opposition to speak of down there. They sourced an empty shop, right in the middle of Lambton Quay (which was very fortuitous), and fitted it out accordingly. Murray then ran that solely and commuted weekly between Auckland and Wellington. Since then they have employed a sole charge manager who has run it very effectively and successfully. Which brings us to where we are now implementing the Brand and service nationally! Murray and Elizabeths children have been a great support all this while and have even modeled for photos that are used for the brand on the website, car, promotional material and shop fronts. What is the vision of The Chocolate Cake Company? Our vision is to bake and market our chocolate cakes nationally giving all New Zealanders the opportunity to become loyal customers of a great

GOLDILOCKS
In 1966, two sisters Milagros and Clarita, and their sister-in-law, Doris, decided to open a small bakeshop along to the Pasong Tamo Street, Makati. The sisters have already been dabbling in the business for some time ---Milagros, by supplying chiffon slices to a number of Manila's canteens, and Clarita, by baking and decorating cakes during special occasions in Bicol --- when they decided to take their hobby one step further. A third sister, Maria Flor, suggested that they name the enterprise "Goldilocks", after the character in a fairy tale, aiming to make it easier for children and their mothers to remember its name; and because it suggested luck and prosperity. Goldilocks has managed a full conversion of awareness-to-trial, and has done exceedingly well in retaining trial to regular purchase. It enjoys a committed customer base, and continues to attract even more.
