Our Frankly Fancy Mother's Day collection is available now through Mother's Day in our Courtyard Shop at 46 Waltham St. South End, and for online ordering just until tomorrow May 3. The Courtyard shop is open this weekend Sat 12-6pm and Sun 12-5pm. If you are out and about in the South End for the SoWa Artwalk make your way over to 46 Waltham St. Courtyard and pay us a visit! Inspired by Frankly Fancy, a vintage Betty Crocker booklet, this Mother's Day chocolate collection reimagines classic mid-century desserts as old-fashioned confections. Centers are cut, rolled, and dipped in chocolate by hand—made in the tradition of classic American confectioners—alongside a few carefully molded pieces, then nestled into a ribboned box reminiscent of old-world confectionery shops. A different kind of fancy—made the old-fashioned way.

A true confectionery classic, made in the spirit of tradition and care. Our Frankly Fancy assortment is now online and will be in our Courtyard shop beginning on Thursday, along with some of our signature confections. . . #smallbatchchocolate #southendbusiness #sowaboston

We’re so sorry — the shop won’t be open this afternoon as planned. We’ve had unexpected delays with supplies (mostly packaging for our Easter collection), and we want everything to be exactly right before reopening. We’ll now reopen Sunday, and to make up for the change, we’ll have extended hours leading into Easter so everyone has plenty of time to visit. Thank you, as always, for your patience and for supporting this small business 🌷🐣
