As a foreigner in Switzerland, it’s hard not to be surprised by the sheer dedication they show chocolate here. Any large railway station or shopping mall generally has multiple choloatier-stores.

If The Dark Lord had those extra 12 hours a day, you know he'd have a coffee and chocolatier business spooling up now.

Looks great, congrats to the young lady.

One would have to exercise some serious self-control at that table. I fear I wouldn’t be the picture of refinement or a good ambassador for the US. Cappuccino choux for dinner, red kitkat-lookin things for dessert.

"The best thing about the competition? At the end, everyone attending is not only invited to partake in an aperitivo and a vast table of hors d'oeuvres, but is actually encouraged to sample all of the various contestants’ entries!"

Quite uncommon but quite pleasant. It must have been a lovely surprise.

I gained 20 pounds just looking at the scrumptious items.

Congratulations! I can't eat more than one or two pieces before I have a reaction, so that's not the place for me, but it certainly looks delicious

There is a particular woman I know who would be in heaven at that competition.
