The Birch
#wow and #bonbon are closely related and draw inspiration from the beaver and the birch tree. Being an avid hiker, I have observed plenty of birch trees cut down by beavers to build their dams. The double mold represents my fascination with the shape of these beautiful trees and when you bite into the bonbon, the oozy birch syrup jam is reminiscent of tapping birch trees for their sap.
