Hotel guests will sometimes ask who serves the best chocolate dessert in town? And that is a hard question to honestly answer. We are constantly doing research at the Best Western Plus Boulder Inn to help our guests. We have some many great restaurants in town with a changing selection of amazing desserts and it is truly hard to choose just one. For example research informs us pastry chef Robin Autorino worked at the Boulder Flagstaff House , the Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse , the Denver Brown Palace Restaurant Dining and Chicago’s Tru before she opened up her own chocolatier shop called Robins Chocolate She calls her chocolate creations edible art – art both for your eyes and your mouth. Robin is an award winning chocolatier and has been named by Dessert Professional as one of the Top Ten Chocolatiers in North America. She is also allergic to chocolate. That is right she is allergic to chocolate. While training as a chef in France she was required to taste everything she made at the pâtisserie, including all of the items made with chocolate. Not about to make excuses about allergies to a French pastry chef, Robin tasted the chocolate and waited for the adverse reaction. By luck or fate, the expected reaction never came and Robin’s passion for chocolate began to unfold using the best of ingredients and culinary skill. As it turns out, Robin is still allergic to some cheaper chocolate depending how it is made or the ingredients used. Robin combines artistry and flavor to create little masterpieces that taste as good as they look. Through her chocolates Robin has found a way to make people smile, which makes Robin very happy indeed. Her story is just one of many pastry dessert artists in town ready to serve you a delectable delight to cap off your fine dining experience.
