Temper pastry chef Steven Hodge teams up with Tiffany Pratt for Technicolor-inspired chocolate collection
The edible pieces of art come in crazily colourful custom-designed packaging
WEST VANCOUVER-BASED chocolatier and pâtissier Steven Hodge, founder of Temper Chocolate & Pastry, prides himself as much on the artistic detail of his chocolates as their seductive flavour. Now, he’s teaming up with his Project Bakeover co-host Tiffany Pratt for a limited-edition collection featuring her signature Technicolor-inspired designs on the packaging.
A graduate of the California School of Culinary Arts, Hodge apprenticed at Wolfgang Puck Catering. His CV also includes roles in London, as pastry chef at Le Caprice, the Wolseley, and the three-Michelin star Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. He opened Temper in Dundarave Village in 2014. Pratt is a Toronto-based designer and artist who’s know as the queen of colour.
The vibrant six-, nine-, 16- and 28-piece boxes feature flavours like whisky sour, passionfruit, lime margarita, blueberry martini, chocolate peppermint, and Negroni.
The Tiffany Pratt x Temper collection (priced from $15 to $56) is available while quantities last at 2409 Marine Drive and online, with national shipping available.
