Desserts are as popular as ever and one trend that I see growing in the hotel and restaurant industry is signature desserts. Many chefs realize the importance of creating lasting impressions and have worked hard developing unforgettable artistic creations with their desserts. In this issue of chocolations, we are proud to feature a few examples of foodservice establishments that have successfully created memorable signature desserts that truly WOW diners and leave guests with a positive memory of the whole dining experience.

Best Wishes,
