Third time's the 'chocolate' charm

摘要

Chef Anne Shaeffer may have grown up in what she calls the "candy Mecca of the world" - Chicago - but that doesn't meanshe didn't take a few detours before becoming a chocolatier. In fact, she had two careers before opening Sulpice Chocolat, one as an artist and the other in finance. "Completely opposite sides of the spectrum, but when you think about it, they sort of work well together," says Shaeffer. "It was my strong background in art that gave me the idea to make beautiful hand-painted chocolate bars and it was my career in finance that helped me realize that achieving my dreams could be possible."
