Over three days, Cedric gave students at the Chicago Chocolate Academy an inside look into his creative process to his Instagram-famous product. Students were able to see each step along the way and ask questions about procedures and techniques. As the days went on, Cedric put forth beautiful creation after creation.

At the Virgin Hotel Chicago’s rooftop bar, Cerise, guests came from all over to come meet Cedric and take tons of photos. He prepared two creations for guests to try while enjoying good cocktails and great company. Surrounded by beautiful weather and a funky ambiance, the room was filled with great energy.
