DELIGANT “I”: Growing Cocoa Bonbon
My DELIGANT for this assignment is the deliciousness associated with the elegance to innovate a new crafting technique. Rather than the molded bonbons that abound in the world, this Bonbon chocolat was created with a new and original crafting technique that was inspired by the original cacao tree found in nature. This Bonbon is taking all the natural steps of a cocoa pod on its cocoa tree. It is like the cocoa fruit, growing little by little with each layer and is harvested when reaching its full maturity. I believe that this unique crafting technique is a true innovation that mimics nature and brings a new freshness to the usual molded bonbon chocolat. All the themes of WCM are linked with my "DELIGANT" concept. In #BONBON, I express "Delicious+Innovation '', as for the "I" of DELIGANT. delIgant" = "Delicious + Innovation" = #BONBON
