Shine Chocolates & Confections - Regina is buzzing with excitement with the arrival of a new business venture – Shine Chocolates & Confections. When we discovered this virtual chocolate shop, we were thrilled and kept a close eye on its progress.

Meet the Owner:
Nicole, the owner of Shine Chocolates & Confections, is a smart, adventurous, and empowered individual with a passion for chocolate. Did you know that she's also a trained pastry chef? Prior to pursuing her love for chocolate, she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador, and later completed her Baking and Pastry Arts diploma from George Brown College in Toronto. As part of her pastry studies, she even worked in France! It's clear that Nicole understood the importance of education when it came to building a successful business.
Following her graduation, Nicole moved to Calgary, Alberta where she honed her skills by working at a chocolate business. When she followed her partner to Hamilton, Ontario for his job, she found herself missing the world of chocolate. To remedy this, she decided to take a bold step and start her
Shine Chocolates & Confections opened in Hamilton, Ontario in 2020 and has since experienced tremendous growth. Nicole's chocolates can now be found all across Canada, including Regina. Her chocolate creations are best described as "edible works of art" with a unique, colorful style and a knack for crafting original flavor combinations. At Shine, Nicole strives to create artisan chocolates using local, seasonal ingredients. Her collections are ever-changing with the seasons, and she's always seeking to push the boundaries with chocolate!
