HOW WE MAKE OUR AWARD
WINNING CHOCOLATES

Every bonbon at Cacao & Cardamom is a little masterpiece—crafted by hand, layer by layer. From painting the molds with shimmering colors to filling them with silky ganache and sealing each piece with a satisfying snap, our process blends artistry and technique. Here’s a peek behind the scenes at how we turn chocolate into an experience.

COLORING

Every bonbon begins as a blank canvas. We hand-paint each mold with shimmering cocoa butter colors, turning chocolate into miniature works of art.

MOULDING

A delicate layer of tempered chocolate is poured into the mold, creating the crisp, glossy shell that gives every bite its first snap.

GANACHE

At the heart of each bonbon is its soul: a luscious ganache crafted from chocolate, cream, spices, fruits, and nuts, blended into silky perfection.
