ORLANDO, Fla. — Here are the five things you need to know about Rosen Shingle Creek’s Executive Pastry Chef and chocolate guru David Ramirez.

1. Chocolate and Romance

Just what is it about chocolate and the most romantic day of the year?

"It's the aphrodisiac, right?” laughed Executive Pastry Chef David Ramirez. “Everybody says chocolate and everybody smiles and is happy and wants to have some.”

Chef says the latest chocolate trends are blending with other flavors (like bacon) and spices, as well as different color combinations.

“You always eat with your eyes, so if you see something attractive, you’ll want that.”

2. Double-heart Centerpieces

Chef makes white chocolate, double-heart centerpieces at the Rosen Shingle Creek for honeymoons, anniversaries, and – of course – Valentine’s Day. He uses liquid white chocolate and cold spray to attach the pieces together.

3. Cocoa Butter

The white chocolate centerpiece, which has a creamy color, is airbrushed with white and red cocoa butter.

“Cocoa butter is used for different colorings, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics,” Ramirez said.

4. Edible Decor

For extra edible décor, Chef dunks strawberries in sprinkles that are all bling-ed out. He artfully positions them on the centerpiece’s plate.

5. The Chocolate Box

Here's a fun Valentine's fact, according to CNN: Richard Cadbury introduced the first "chocolate box" back in 1868. He decorated it with a painting of his young daughter holding a kitten. He then went on to invent the very first Valentine's Day candy box.
