Taste of Chocolate photos to sweeten your day

The Sweet Swede, a fudge shop in Lindstrom, brought their signature dish, lingonberry fudge.

​On Sunday, the 15th annual Taste of Chocolate Dessert Competition took place in Bloomington, with more than a dozen bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers vying for honors and distributing samples throngs of chocolate fans. The competition included entries from Crave at the Galleria, Obsession Chocolates, Patisserie Margo, Creative Confectionaire, and more. Proceeds benefitted the Bloomington Fine Arts Council.

Here are a few of the tasty highlights from the day.

Duet au Chocolat created by Kevin Lindee of Ganache: Truffles for Every Occasion was infused with one of the weirder ingredients at Taste of Chocolate: Cardamon pods.
