Bubble Waffles!

3/15/2017

2 Comments

 
Bubble Waffles will premiere at Peterbrooke Winter Park this Friday! We are so excited to be the first place in Orlando and Winter Park to offer these decadent creations! We have been working hard behind the scenes to perfect our recipes and only give you the best! Have you ever heard of or tried Bubble Waffles? Here's a little background on them. Bubble Waffles (also known as egg waffles) originated in Hong Kong and are among the most popular snacks sold by street vendors. They were first seen in the 1950's, and are best served hot, either plain or with toppings such as strawberry or chocolate. Here at Peterbrooke, we don't do anything plain! We are stuffing these fluffy waffles with our Italian Gelato and topping with whipped cream, and everything from M&M's, Fruity Pebbles, chocolate chips, and more! We hope you join us this Friday as we premiere this uniquely delicious treat in our Winter Park shop! What is your favorite topping? Let us know!

How Winter Park Can Help With Those Resolutions!

Incorporate Exercise In A Fun Way

The idea of working out is one thing; actually doing it is another! We all have busy lives full of various obligations, so fitting in time to work out can seem daunting. The best way to create a healthy lifestyle involving a habit of exercise is to incorporate activities into your schedule that are exciting and fun. Activities you find fun won't feel like working out and will also be ones you will look forward to doing and therefore are likely to help you build a routine. Our favorite method is taking walks outside! The weather is absolutely lovely this time of year, we get fresh air and away from technology, and we have an abundance of picturesque scenery right here in Winter Park! A 30 minute walk down Park Avenue 5 days a week is an excellent way to start! You could even do yoga in Central Park in the mornings. On Saturday mornings, the Winter Park Farmer's Market is held just a short walking distance from our shop, offering organic produce, fresh plants, and gourmet breads. 


​Dairy Free? Have No Fear

Switching to a dairy-free lifestyle is not as hard as it used to be with the growing number of dairy-free options now available! Everywhere from Whole Foods to Publix now carry an assortment of dairy-free milks, cheeses, and yogurts. Your sweet tooth doesn't have to suffer either, and Peterbrooke's 72% extra dark chocolate is also dairy free! Not only can you get this chocolate drizzled over Peterbrooke's signature popcorn, you can also melt it and dip strawberries in or just eat as is! It is an easy and tasty way to stick with your dairy-free lifestyle.

Sugar-Free? We Have That Too

Watching your sugar intake and enjoying delicious gourmet chocolates doesn't always go hand in hand, but Peterbrooke thought of that also. While you may be able to find a small selection of sugar-free dark chocolate around, finding sugar-free milk chocolate is no easy feat! Peterbrooke offers gourmet sugar-free milk and dark chocolate, perfect for anyone wanting to treat themselves while staying on track! Come by our boutique shop on Park Avenue and we'll be glad to help you with your selections!

Here in our tropical state we don't have a lot of ways to tell when the seasons start to change, but there is one great way to peek our way into fall. Turkey's are back at Peterbrooke! These little guys come in just about any sort of chocolate you can think of, and are more than happy to greet your family and friends at their place mats this Thanksgiving.


Our turkey's aren't here alone, though! Our chocolatiers are hard at work making fall treats for any occasion! So come on out and check out our newest creations, and spend a bit of time to take a peek at those chocolatiers making all that seasonal magic happen!

Welcoming in Summer!

Summer is just around the corner, and we're getting ready for our own little celebration!

Starting June 7th our kitchen is opening up its doors for all chocolatiers in training. Chocolatier Day Camp is here for the season! Come spend a day with us here at Peterbrooke and learn the ropes! We're changing things up a bit this year, and for the first time we'll be offering two different day camps! Day camp will be open for reservations on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays every week, for anyone looking for something fun to do this summer.

Every Tuesday for those campers with a fancy for paint brushes, we'll be hosting a Chocolate Art Class! Come on in and learn how to express your creativity with chocolate. Participants are given a blank chocolate canvas and our chocolatiers will guide you along as you create your own chocolate masterpiece. Participants also get to create and decorate colorful molded chocolate items. The best part? It's all edible, and it goes home with you at the end of the day! The perfect day camp for the artistically minded people of Central Florida!

Every Wednesday and Thursday it's business as usual for the chocolatiers of Peterbrooke, except for one big exception. You'll be there to help us! Come spend the day with us and learn all about the job everyone really wants. We'll teach you the secrets and science of chocolate, along with all the fun of getting to make your very own chocolate dipped treats. Participants learn how to be a chocolatier and get to make and take home about a pound of chocolate in a gift basket! It's sure to be the talk of the house when you go home with all those treats you had so much fun making!

Both camps run from 11 am to 1:30 pm, and come with a great lunch, and a gelato for dessert! If you're looking for something great to do this summer, give us a call and reserve your spot today!
