Fruitful Blooms Bring Fantasy Chocolate to Life at Thame Food Festival

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience what the children in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory did? Flowers, plants and foliage that you can eat?

Well wonder no more, as Fruitful Blooms founder Anita Thakker will demonstrate at Oxfordshires award winning ‘ Thame Food Festival ’ on September 28th. This really is the stuff from her ‘pure imagination’ as she shows visitors the intricacies of the detailed work that goes into each and every Fruitful Blooms creation.

OK so lickable wallpaper won’t be on the menu but edible flowers, leaves and even vases and sculptures are Fruitful Blooms speciality. On the day visitors will be able to watch Anita create a chocolate sculpture and some of their floral pieces will also be on display. For those keen to experience the true delicate and exquisite taste of Fruitful Blooms chocolate, there will be a selection of their brand new chocolate infusions .

Visitors will be treated to a garland of dark chocolate with ginger and white chocolate infused with rose petals and edible glitter, to name but a few, and some which are still under wraps!

Anita spent many years travelling and living in Belgium and Paris and her passion and love for chocolate blossomed. With a background in graphic design, Anita saw an opportunity to create showpieces fusing innovation with elegance. Combining quality chocolate of different flavours and fresh fruits made perfect sense to her and Fruitful Blooms was formed.

Anita and her team hand craft and design spectacular bespoke edible bouquets, arrangements and centre pieces. They use only the finest personally selected fresh fruits and luxury Belgian chocolate.

As a team of experienced chocolatiers, they love what they do and have a passion for creating inspirational avant-garde pieces. These truly stunning and sumptuous luxurious creations are perfect for any occasion from a single personal bouquet or luxury gift, through to high-end corporate events.

Fruitful Blooms portfolio of work includes celebratory events, product launches, parties, and conferences for a cross section of clients such as Jimmy Choo, Albert Hughes, Heather Graham, Allied Irish Bank, Ritz London, Danesfield House and many more.
