Hello there, I'm Connie!
and I’m the writer and photographer behind this blog. I started chocolate & connie when I was just a teenager in high school. At the time, it was “the dawn of blogging”, so there was no SEO or algorithms, just a small community of bakers and writers from around the world. There was where I discovered my passion for making beautiful food and found my voice for story telling. And here is where I am 12 years later.
