Anna, the chocolatier behind AVELISE

Meet the chocolatier

The hands behind AVELISE.

I'm Anna, the chocolatier behind AVELISE. I have always loved creating things with my hands. There is something about turning simple ingredients into something beautiful that has stayed with me my whole life.

That love led me to culinary school, where I trained as a pastry chef. Chocolate was the craft I kept coming back to, so I went to Las Vegas to learn from Melissa Coppel, the world-renowned chocolatier. There I studied the art of the fine bonbon: tempering, delicate shells, silky ganaches and hand-painted finishes.

For more than ten years I have been working on my craft, creating chocolates for weddings, showers, birthdays and celebrations of every kind. AVELISE is the name for what that work has become. Same hands, ten years of love, a new name.
