During my childhood in Ecuador, I grew up watching my grandmother, Ana, and my mother, Cataline, preparing wonderful desserts and bonbons for special occasions. Years later, I lived in The Netherlands, where I learned chocolate making from Belgian artisans, who helped me recreate the taste and smell of the sweets from my childhood. In order to keep this tradition alive, I was inspired to create Meltus Chocolate, now Meltus Cakes & Confectionery. Despite being so far from where I grew up, I can still feel the warmth of my family while I make these treats.
My mission is to introduce special flavors to the people of North Carolina. Meltus specializes in 100% handmade bonbons made with the highest quality chocolate using recipes that have been in my family for generations, as well as cakes, cupcakes, preserves, and anything else I can dream up!
If you are celebrating a special occasion, looking for a gift, or simply want to treat yourself contact us and we'll be happy to help.
Thanks for your visit!
