Noteworthy Chocolates is the result of answering those questions and much more. With inquiry, innovation, a great support system, and a lot of really hard work, we went from concept to business in less than a year! Starting with the laser at the Danbury Hackerspace and a bunch of sandwich container lids and mason jar lids for molds, we took our dining room table over and learned what we needed to know. How to temper chocolate, what kinds of fonts and designs work in chocolate, and what laser settings to use, were all questions we had to answer if any of this were to work. Basically, we just kept improvising and building on each success along the way. Once we proved laser engraved chocolates could work, we raised $28,500 in startup funds through a Kickstarter campaign and began building the Chocolate Lab. Now, we can proudly say that we are the world's first and only custom chocolate engraving company!
