Regina has a new chocolatier working with our gift boxes

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. We always welcome creative entrepreneurs to our community, and Shine Chocolates & Confections is no exception.

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!

Things to Know About Nicole's Chocolate:

For optimal flavor, it's recommended to enjoy them within 3-4 weeks. While some products can last up to 6 months, it's best not to let them sit for too long.
All of Nicole's chocolates are nut-free and peanut-free, though they currently source some ingredients that may contain nuts.
Nicole is currently working part-time, but her passion for chocolate is driving her to create a niche in Regina's chocolate scene.
