Friday (continued)
RCI will reconnect in Hawaiiafter the convention
June 17 – 20 at Hilton HawaiiVillage Beach Resort (Honolulu)
The Retail Confectioners International (RCI) metrecently for their spring regional event in Jacksonville
and St. Augustine, Florida. Sessions were offered to shareknowledge and ideas; candymakers could get the lateston GMP guidelines; business owners could build confi-dence in dealing with media in a crisis situation; andeach generation could discover and discuss future optionsfor a family-owned business. Up-to-date topics, plustours of area confectionery businesses and ample oppor-tunities for networking, are featured during each regionaland annual RCI event.
KETTLE TALK
Kettle Talk is a peer-to-peer sharing session where indi-viduals bring up concerns about ingredients, software,staff and equipment, among other topics. As subjects areraised, anyone present can reply and make suggestions.This regional’s Kettle Talk was facilitated by Jeff Birnn(Birnn Chocolates of Vermont), Chuck Castle (Tap Pack-aging Solutions), Gary Dinstuhl (Guittard Chocolate),Tom Elsinghorst (Tomric Systems) and Javier Sanchez(Savage Bros.).Issues discussed during Kettle Talks this spring
included the following:• Testing invertase — has it lost its effectiveness?Those presentsuggested storing the supply in a refrigerator. One couldask his supplier for a sample bottle and if the same adversereaction results, perhaps there is another problem in theprocess of creating the creams.
• What equipment is needed to start a chocolate business?Many equipment suppliers and candymakers shared basicanswers noting specific cookers and enrobers, but thatquestion is best dealt with on an individual basis. Onemember jokingly responded, “a money machine!”
• How do we prepare for an FDA inspection? Because severalcandymakers had experienced this recently, they suggestedthat documentation, good manufacturing practices anda positive attitude are vital.
• What delivery methods are recommended for chocolate cater-ing in warm weather? Fixed racks for trays in a speciallydesigned cooler or refrigerated, humidity-controlled truck.
• Why do my chocolate-covered pretzels start cracking?Pretzelsto be covered in chocolate should be dried out, so no furtherdrying occurs after enrobing. It was suggested that the pack-age of pretzels should be left open a day before use.
• Where can I get a good Cabernet flavor for truffles and fordessert sauce?One may create one’s own by reduction ofthe wine.
• What is recommended for washing chocolate moulds?Caremust be taken to extend the longevity of one’s moulds.Some manufacturers suggest water only and using com-pressed air to blow them dry. Also, the material lasts longerif stored out of sunlight.
The online community forum is another way RCImembers can share questions and get suggestions.
CANDY CLINIC
Another example of peer-to-peer networking is RCI’straditional Candy Clinic. RCI members share productideas, marketing tips, packaging pointers and hints formaking business run smoother.
Bomboy’s Home Made Candy (Havre De Grace, Mary-land) ordered made-in-America wooden boxes beforeEaster. They prepared 25 of them with Easter grass, choco-late figures and colorful tie-ons, hoping to sell perhaps thatmany. They ended up selling 150 of the boxes in three sizesas an alternative to woven baskets.
Candy House Gourmet Chocolates (Joplin, Missouri)uses many types of social media as well as software tokeep the staff working well together. A spreadsheet listswho handles which tasks, and the due dates for eachelement of their marketing efforts, whether it be a Face-book posting, a store prize giveaway, a Constant Contactemail blast, a text campaign or radio giveaways. At Easterthis year the company placed none of their usual print,

radio or TV ads, yet it was theirbiggest Easter in terms of sales. Theywere able to reduce their ad budgetsignificantly for that holiday and con-tinue to build a base of loyal cus-tomers through the email addressesthey gathered.
The Chocolate Tree presentation at Candy Clinic featured their “adult-sized” Easter eggs.
The Chocolate Tree (Beaufort,South Carolina) customers were ask-ing for holiday treats for those whoconsidered themselves “too grownup” for traditional Easter eggs. Theowners created Tiger Paws (carameland nut confections like a Turtle)in a large egg shape, enrobed themwith chocolate and decorated eachwith Royal icing.
Enstrom Candies now offers its truffles in sachet-wrapped foils.
Enstrom Candies (Grand Junction,Colorado) showed their new pack-aging idea of wrapping their trufflesin a European-style sachet wrap witha twist at the top. Colors indicateflavors within.
Esther Price Candies extended their productrange with fruit creams in a box that
showed the actual product instead of their traditional gold box with a red ribbon.
Esther Price Candies Corp. (Day-ton, Ohio) listened to customers whorequested some of their fruit creamEaster confections during theremainder of the year. The extensionof this product is now shaped in asquare (rather than the egg shape)and features the two most-popularflavors (orange cream and raspberrycream). The package also draws newcustomers with photos of the prod-uct on the box.
Golden Turtle Chocolate Factory(Lebanon, Ohio) developed an“energy” line of confections to caterto consumer interest in healthyitems. The owners are careful notto make a health claim for their barkproducts. Some of the barks includeblueberries, cherries and granolacrunch. Others feature dried straw-berries, kiwi and mango pieces.
Kakao Chocolate (St. Louis, Mis-souri) developed a beer brittle usinga “very hoppy” St. Louis-regionalbeer and pumpkin seeds instead ofnuts. The owner admitted that thisidea was stolen from an earlierCandy Clinic, acknowledging thevery idea of this event.
Rosalind Candy Castle’s Mike Cruden sharesfeatures of the Square app on his iPad.
Rosalind’s Candy Castle (NewBrighton, Pennsylvania) found a pay-ment solution for off-site confec-tionery sales, such as farmer’s mar-kets or art fairs. The Square app andfree card reader, used on an iPhone,iPad or other similar device, canaccept credit cards for payments bycustomers, and charges a straight2.75 percent per swipe. No annualor monthly fee; no contract or rentalof a credit-card processor. Receiptcan be sent via text message orprinted on a wireless printer.
Schimpff ’s Confectionery (Jeffer-sonville, Indiana) cut various shapesfrom Rice Krispie treats to extendthis confection to other seasons.Creative enrobing and decorationsinclude Indian corn in the fall andChristmas trees in the winter, con-versation hearts for February andhorse heads for nearby KentuckyDerby parties. The Schimpffs bor-rowed this idea from an earlierCandy Clinic.
Vande Walle’s Candies (Appleton,Wisconsin) create bunny, heart,turkey, star and bell shapes from a

thin layer of caramel and nuts, andenrobe them with chocolate, wrapthem in cellophane and tie on rib-bons for colorful displays in basketsat different holidays.
Whetstone’s Chocolates red-foiled dark chocolate shells.
Whetstone Chocolates (St. Augus-tine, Florida)had offered seashells insix different flavors with a differentcolor for each flavor. The companyjust added a seventh, wrapped in redfoil, their solid dark Menendezchocolate. During their popular tast-ing tours, customers are told thenames of the chocolates offered(Menendez Dark 72%; CocovidaDark 65%; De Leon Dark 47%; SanMarco White; etc.) so they can askfor their favorites by name. Many ofthe names come from St. Augustinehistory.
