AYLESBURY, U.K. - Nov. 22, 2020 - Based at the the flagship Wendover chocolaterie in Buckinghamshire, Rumey's has been creating artisan chocolates for over 30 years. We've been making artisan handmade Father Christmas chocolate figurines since before we even opened our first chocolaterie, we'd sell them at craft fairs and markets! So around 1999 ish. We use a mould and it took lots of attempts to perfect – it is still a challenge for some of our younger chocolatiers.
Stage 1 When you make them you start by 'painting' the mould with the chocolate to get the features, it's all in the eyes we find it best to have him slightly looking to the side to give him that cheeky look.
Stage 2 We let them set at room temperature (albeit air conditioned so a cool room). Our chocolate is perfectly tempered by the chefs which means it sets well and is extra shiny, rather than 'dull' looking chocolate you buy in a supermarket.
Stage 3 When the detail chocolate is set in the moulds then we take a large ladle and fill each half of the mould with milk chocolate (unless you have ordered a bespoke Santa), leave this to set and then give Father Christmas a second layer and seal him up.
Stage 4 The chocolate Santa figurines stored in a cool room (which needs air con in the summer) of course for Christmas it's easy to keep temperatures down to perfect.
Stage 5 - Final gift wrapping. Our fully trained staff carefully wrap our chocolate Santa Claus individually by hand. He's then finished off with a cute ribbon bow.
Buy in four different sizes, equally as wonderful as each other. The giant handmade chocolate Father Christmas (https://www.rumseys.co.uk/collections/christmas-chocolate...) measures a huge 50cm in height and weigh a whopping 1.8kg (approx) and is only available for Click and Collect from either of our Chocolate Cafes: Our flagshop store is located at the Wendover chocolaterie in Buckinghamshire, or over at the Thame chocolaterie in Oxfordshire.
