Can't Miss It: Wednesday

CHOCOLATE ACADEMY: We're not sure if these credits transfer, but tonight is Theo Chocolate's CHOC 102 seminar--"Sinful and Good for You?" taught by instructor Dr. Andy McShea, Theo Chief Operating Officer and Head Scientist. He'll examine recent claims about chocolate’s antioxidant health benefits, while giving guidelines for healthy chocolate consumption. You'll see a vivid scientific demonstration of the chemical oxidation process and enjoy a tasting of foods high in antioxidants. To register call 206-632-5100 and dial option 2 to speak with a Theonista, or email info(at)theochocolate.com with the subject line "CHOCOLATE ACADEMY."

Topped by a ganache made with Theo Chocolate and a truffle filling made from Stumptown espresso, Cupcake Royale's limited-edition offering has a pedigree, but does it earn the name "Deathcake"? Um, we're still alive. This is not chocolate suicide, people. It's hardly a nick on the wrist. Pastry czarina Sue McKown of ill-fated and oddly-named Coco La Ti Da helped improve Cupcake Royale's product--or so we've heard. At least the Deathcake costs less (now $4.95) and is smaller than in previous years, so you don't have to share. (As if we would.)

Is Seattle going chocolate crazy? Theo Chocolate is doing chocolate massages, meditations and barbeques. Joule is dipping chicken liver in dark chocolate. There’s even a store called Chocolopolis.

Earlier this year, Theo Chocolate offered music, massage, and meditation. This Thursday, you can head over to Theo for the Chocolate Barbeque.

We’re still digesting the ample fare from FareStart’s Guest Chef on the Waterfront event, but if you’re a chocoholic (and the new Chocolopolis isn’t quite enough for you), then you might just want to attend this Sunday’s Seattle Luxury Chocolate Salon.

As if chocolate alone isn’t enough, tonight Theo Chocolate adds music, massage, and meditation to the menu. Can you believe it? Head over to Theo’s fun shop in Fremont to sample some chocolates and sip some Choice organic tea. They’ll have a string quartet playing, and if you’d like even more relaxation, you can enjoy a complementary Ayurvedic mini hand massage with Sweet Beauty chocolate lotion. Or ante up and purchase a two-person Ayurvedic warm oil massage or chocolate body scrub treatment. (Will they accept chocolate coins as payment?)
