Chocolate – The Recession Beater

by Choccy, in: Choccy Cake

There may be a recession on at the moment, but that means nothing to us chocolate lovers as Thorntons sales are proving.

The Thorntons company has revealed that they have had a 2.3% rise in their first quater sales compared to the same time last year (which included Woolworths and Birthdays contributions neither of which exist now). This will make their investors very happy as the shares have shot up by 5.75p to 123.75p!

The Chief Executive of Thorntons said that they have just launched their Christmas range and are now ready for the festive season – good lots of delicious new choccys ready for everyone to buy us for Christmas!

Thorntons continentals are very good for decorating the top of my delicious chocolate cake.

Chocolate Will Make Kids Violent Adults!

by Choccy, in: Choccy Cake

“Children who eat sweets and chocolate every day are more likely to be violent as adults,” according to UK researchers. This is a top news report today. According to The Cardiff University study involving 17,500 people, 10-year-olds who ate chocolate and sweets on a daily basis were significantly more likely to have a violence conviction by age 34! The researchers found that 69% of the participants who were violent at the age of 34 had eaten sweets and chocolate nearly every day during childhood, compared to 42% who were non-violent.

Julian Hunt from the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) director of communications, said: “This is either utter nonsense or a very bad April Fool’s Day joke. “Anti-social behaviour stems from deep-rooted social and environmental factors, such as poor parenting and a deprived upbringing, and is not linked to whether or not you ate sweeties as a kid. “How anyone could leap to such a conclusion is beyond me.”

We couldn’t agree more Julian, what a load of old tosh, how many of us ate chocolate every day as kids and grew up non-violent – lots of us – so stop the ridiculous studies Cardiff University, sit back, relax and have a piece of chocolate cake ;-)

Choccy Doodle Doo!

by Choccy, in: Choccy Cake

Chocolate Cake Recipe was originally a one page site for my all time favourite chocolate cake recipe.

Then along came Chocolate Cake Recipe – The Blog!

This is where I intend to try lots of new and old chocolate cake recipes to see if any of them can beat my favourite. Hopefully, along the way, I will meet some like-minded people who will read, comment and share their opinions (and recipes too).

I look forward to my mission – hope you will join me!
