An architect by training, but a chocolatier by heart, Lecia has been creating chocolate magic for over twenty years. Unbeknownst to Lecia, her move from Bainbridge Island, WA to Fredericksburg, TX was an amazing parallel with the movie “Chocolat.”
In 1998, as a single-mom, she packed up her young daughter Jesse and took off for a small German-settled town in the heart of Texas “Hill Country.” She was destined to open a retail chocolate shop and named it Chocolat reflecting her French heritage. At the time this was not a very popular name in the German-settled town, but the chocolate endured and the magic happens daily! In fact, Chocolat was one of eight chocolatiers featured in Southern Living’s 2005 Weekend Living special issue.
When you visit Lecia’s store, the glass and wooden front door will stick a bit – just like the movie. Once inside, you will find delicate hand-made European-style truffles, barks, nut clusters and many other fine specialty confections affectionately displayed in antique glass cases. You will be mesmerized by the smells, the sights and the transformational magic of chocolate! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to make your dream job as a Chocolatier come true with a VocationVacations® holiday! “Lecia was wonderful. We really hit it off great. She showed me everything I wanted to learn and gave me lots of hands-on experience with chocolate. I now have the confidence and experience to know I can do this.” Anne Ballantine
