Cedar Lake Cellars Introduces New Chocolates


St. Louis winery teams up with local chocolatier to offer sweet creations.

Cedar Lake Cellars, a winery and event center, recently partnered with VB Chocolate Bar to introduce new desserts that sweetly blend their wines with handcrafted chocolates. The products will be sold at both Cedar Lake Cellars located at 11008 Schreckengast Rd. in Wright City, as well as VB Chocolate Bar at 5326 Highway N in Cottleville, Mo.

VB Chocolate Bar owner Conor VanBuskirk designed chocolates using Cedar Lake Cellars' wines plus concocted several chocolate barks that will pair with their extensive wine list. VanBuskirk also owns Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate in Florissant, St. Charles and St. Peters.

VanBuskirk's truffles are molded chocolate shells filled with a flavored ganache. He blends chocolate, cream, butter and wine for these unique truffles and then pipes it into the shell by hand before capping the truffle. Each mold is hand painted with colored cocoa butter.

Three newly created truffles include a Norton Wine that is dark chocolate from Tanzania with the wine blended into the ganache; a Port Wine truffle that is dark chocolate Madagascar blend with the wine mixed into the ganache, and; a Firetruck Wine truffle that is milk chocolate from the Ghana region with the sweet red wine blended into the ganache.

The three new chocolate barks include a milk and dark chocolate espresso bark to pair with Cedar Lake Cellar's Merlot; a dark chocolate dried cherry and orange zest bark to serve with their Port and Norton wines, and; a dark and white chocolate bark with dried strawberries and strawberry dust to pair with their Chardonnay.

Cedar Lake Cellars serves 15 wines from Missouri and California under its own private label, Tastings of the Cellars, as well as approximately 25 additional "Wines of the World" from other regions. For more information, call Cedar Lake Cellars at (636) 745-9500.

A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then
