Edinburgh Evening News 23 April 2011 – Breaking the Mould

Self-taught chocolatier Sharon Grimshaw cooks up her sweet treats in her kitchen on Littlejohn Road, sending luscious aromas of her award-winning apple crumble chocolates and her quirky Lia Fail truffle – laced with Perthshire brewed beer – across neighbours’ gardens. She sells her bespoke, handmade creations through her HotChocolates website and demand is growing all the time. “I was making up little favours for my wedding guests and was so disappointed at the state of British chocolate available that I decided to make my own,” she recalls.
She began creating recipes based on traditional British puddings – including black forest cherry and an oat and whisky Cranachan-style chocolate. For Easter, she adapted the classic Simnel cake, with spices, nuts, marzipan and orange, and turned it into a mouthwatering white chocolate.
