October 2011 This month is probably THE most significant for us to date...WE HAVE ACQUIRED OUR FIRST SHOP! In the Sanderson Arcade in Morpeth, it's in the most wonderful position imaginable and we received the keys for it on 24th. Opening day...5TH NOVEMEBER!!! So, in two weeks, we need to convert 140kg chocolate into products, paint and decorate the shop, move furniture in, fit light fittings, create the window display and bake a good few oven-fulls of goodies for our wonderful customers. Oooooooh, IT'S A GOOD JOB THAT WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHAT WE DO!!!

September 2011 We were very flattered when Fenwick of Newcastle approached us to sell our products in their store. To our amusement, Audrey told us that whenever she thinks of Curiously Wicked, she thinks of 'The Uglies' and as she was looking at us when she said it, we burst out laughing and said 'THANKS AUDREY!!!' However, we were quickly told that she was in fact referring to our now famous best sellers. We launched our products there on the first Saturday of the month and were looked after wonderfully by all the staff who made us extremely welcome. Ofcourse, we couldn't leave without buying a selection of their wonderful deli products; all of which were enjoyed for tea. LOVELY!!!

August 2011
Welcome to our new image and our new website! We've gone for a slightly retro theme that aims to reflect the golden age of the sumptous 1920's-1930's. It was a time where hemlines rose and as a result, eyebrows were raised; where music played and those feet just couldn't help tappin' to the new upbeat of the Charleston. We make our products in the old fashioned way and what better way to reflect what we do, than using an iconic era as inspiration. EH, WHAT..!?
As most of our customers will know, we spend all our time making chocolate leaving very little time for our site. Thus, Krystyna worked really hard to design both a new image and a site that offered a much more manageable system that we can, well, MANAGE! Hope you like it as much as we do!

Our team have surpassed themselves! Our latest commission was for a solicitors office in Wallsend who asked for a chocolate house to help them celebrate their great work together. Not only did they set off to build them a house, they BUILT A PRETTY MUCH EXACT SWEETIE VERSION OF THEIR OFFICE!

We're busy, busy busy developing our new techniques of chocolate sculpting! Currently we're working on a 'retro' cake with a 30's sea-side theme. Look out for us at Tynemouth in the coming weeks as we're going to bring it with us to show you.

CURIOUSLY WICKED ARE WINNERS!
The Academy of Chocolate is perhaps the most prestigeous organisation in our field and once a year they hold their awards in order to judge and give recognition to the very best of the best in the world. As this is only our first year of trading, Curiously Wicked only entered into one category; 'best filled chocolate - fruit'
We are over the moon to announce that 'The Original Cinn', has won The Academy of Chocolate Bronze Award 2011. This now puts us shoulder to shoulder with the best chocolatiers in London, Paris, Brussels, Belgium and beyond.
LOTS OF PRESS TO FOLLOW!

We are absolutely delighted to say that things are really taking off now! Our Prevarications are now available in in a growing number of shops and the two ranges we launched in February look set to follow!
Our Chocolate Apothecary range is designed to enhance the mood; whether you want to relax and unwind, or simply revive your senses. Natural oils carefully blended with the finest chocolate are fashioned into a whisp of a medallion that will melt on your tongue to release the goodness and flavours within.
Two weeks ago, we also introduced our new Continental Range inspired by a visit to a European food market. We loved the idea of luxurious segments of fine chocolate blended with incredibly decadent ingredients as well as the fun of breaking little tiny pieces off just when you want...irresistible !
Both ranges, together with all of our other products, are already available from our stall and will soon also be available online too!
Keep checking in regularly to make sure you don't miss out!
