Steven Ter Horst Chocolatier – Rundle Street Launch

Last night I went along to the launch of Steven ter Horst’s new Rundle Street store. The old Unley store was great, but it was really limited by its size. I think the Rundle Street store will help introduce the chocolates, cakes and pastries to a much wider audience.

One of my favourite things from Steven ter Horst is their salted caramel–whether in tart or chocolate form. I still remember one night after I’d just eaten dinner at Apothecary 1878 with the lovely Champagne Duchess. I noticed the salted caramel chocolates were on the menu, so I ordered one as an after dinner treat. After watching my face as I ate mine, Catherine promptly ordered her own.

Luckily there was an entire tower of salted caramel chocolates last night. We also got a chance to try miniature versions of some of the other cakes and pastries available. It was great spending the evening with my fellow dessert lover, Berny from I Only Eat Desserts, as well as some lovely ladies from Glam Adelaide and Style Story. It was also great seeing Dan & Rob from Burger Theory, Aurélie from La Waffle and The Naughty Spot–where I also had lunch yesterday–and one of my old TAFE lecturers.

I talked a bit too much about how people are technically correct regardless of whether they say ‘macaron’ or ‘macaroon’ and we all a lot of chocolate.

For a bonus bit of knowledge: the Rundle Street store also stocks croissants and danishes from Goodwood Road’s Boulangerie 113. In my opinion they’re the best in Adelaide. Stop in at Steven ter Horst and you can enjoy one with a delicious hot chocolate as well.

I was invited to the Rundle Street store as a guest for their VIP launch party.
