So as some of you may know, I've been fine tuning the kinks out of my truffle business and am coming to a close on what needed to be changed/fine tuned.

Mostly now I need people to eat them and give me feedback to further fine tune if needed any recipes and such.


And with that being said... Anyone want to order some truffle goodness... valentines day is coming up...

I havent ordered custom boxes/paper/stickers/etc for putting them in, so i've ad-lib'd with what I could find for the moment.

Amarula truffles.


If you are interested in some, send me a PM and we'll work it out. I'm mailing out some tomorrow as I made about 75 various today for samples.

Yes, my truffles are expensive. Yes, I use the best ingredients I can. Yes, they are fresh. They also weigh 25 grams, or about one ounce. Lindt truffles weigh 11 grams. Lindt truffles cost 50 cents, mine cost 1.25. Sadly, shipping isnt cheap. Probably ~4-5 bucks. Can post price tomorrow after I ship some.

Support friends, or at least fellow PC'ers...


Here's some explanation of flavors:

Coco Java - Chocolate with coffee, cinnamon and nutmeg infused

Hazelnut - Silky milk chocolate with hazelnuts and reinforced with delicious hazelnut liquor.

Amaretto - A Rich Dark Chocolate filling with amaretto and decorated with a sliced almond.

Port Wine - Our medium bodied chocolate with delicious Tawny Port. (Tastes like caramel strangely enough!)

Chocolate Decadence - my richest filling that is waiting to be indulged in.

Amarula - Our melt in your mouth Dark Chocolate with Amarula liqour.

Bailey's - Creamy milk chocolate with Bailey's Irish Cream

Caribbean's One Love (Rum) - No worry, no cry. Chocolate and Rum. Is it possible to get any better?

Cinnamon - Not only infused with cinnamon, but also rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Milk Chocolate - Silky and sexy milk chocolate filling that will melt in your mouth.

Pistachio - Elegantly scented pistachio milk chocolate truffle rolled in crushed pistachios.

Do you have a minimum/maximum amount per order?

How many come in a box?

How many types can we mix/match?

Do we get discounts for bulk? What would constitute bulk savings?

Kuyuk
01-27-2010, 09:32 PM
No min/max. I make them to order.. you order 5, I make 5, you order 50, I make 50. I dont make 500 and let them sit until someone orders them like other companies.

I am working on packaging still. I can find boxes for any amount that you order. Obvious if you order 500, it'll be several boxes.

You can mix and match as many types as you want, it's your order, have it your way.. oh wait, I cant use that slogan...

No website yet, have been working with someone on graphics and such to get it in order before I went further. It's almost there.

Discounts for bulk? We can work something out. PM me and we can discuss it.

Find out soon. Havent shipped them yet, but I imagine fine.

****I cannot vouch for USPS handling service****

They're in a box, inside a box..unless the room/truck/plane they get stuck in is uber hot, there shouldnt be any meltage. If you get them and they're broken, let me know and I'll give money back.

Hell man, I've been making truffles on the side with my brother for a few years now. We started out locally down here with David Yurman jewelery, and then picked up a few other places nearby. I'm with you on the yes, they're expensive. They do weigh a bunch, etc etc. I haven't had any issues shipping mine around the country with USPS. But my brother handles that part of it. I'll let you know if I find anything out.


Edited to add: Key Lime Pie truffles sell stupidly good down here :D

my AIM is being wonky so I'll put it here where you see it!

You can bulk buy frozen packs (sort of like what they used to put on a swollen ankle back in school) for pretty cheap and as long as the package will arrive within a couple days, they'll keep it from getting melty. When I ship out stuff in the summer I include a pack with the order and I'm yet to encounter any problems with melting. Obviously you've still got a few months before dealing with summer, but it's just something to keep in mind. People are surprisingly diligent about not letting boxes of confections sit on their doorstep in the blazing sun!

Bantamweights usually weigh around 118 pounds.

And being over 6 feet tall and 140 pounds is sickly. Eat a fucking burger.

Bantamweights usually weigh around 118 pounds.

And being over 6 feet tall and 140 pounds is sickly. Eat a fucking burger.

In MMA, (WEC specifically) the Bantamweight division is 135 lbs. Friend and previous trainer (former champ) Miguel Torres is in fact, 135 lbs.

My metabolism is such that I cannot gain weight and I promise, I can out-eat you and/or most of you fatty fat fat's here. It's not something I am proud of or enjoy however. In jiu-jitsu and MMA it works for me though since I commonly don't have to fight outside my weight class though I do have to train with people larger than me. So shutup, NocturnalRob the skinny man hater. You go drink a Slim-Fast, I'll eat a burger (again) and you STFU.

I also ordered some truffles, fatty.

NocturnalRob
01-28-2010, 09:34 AM
Wow. You know Miguel Torres. Nice name drop. Then again, he has an awesome mullet. On the other hand, he just got ass-raped by Bowles. So...whatever.

Explain to me how being able to out-eat someone works for you when you have to train with people outside your weight class.

Don't be mad because you look like fucking death. It's genetics. It just means your parents hate you.

Interestingly enough, I recently started taking GABA to gain weight, and it's actually working. Building more muscle mass than fat lost is awesome.

Haha well he's from the same region (now he has his own gym too) as me and well, we don't have many other good fighters coming out of Indiana lately. Bowles was about 3 seconds from being finished, Miguel clearly got reckless when he went in for the kill and underestimated his power on the counter. Which was insanely impressive for Bowles I'll say.

I meant that being 140/135 works for me. My height is what creates an advantage for the division, way, way easier for me to triangle a guy who is 5'7" with less a chance of escape. The downside is my center of gravity against guys with good takedowns and obviously, not as much compact power.

<<How does that work again, promote HGH growth and reduce muscle tension?>>

Essentially. It has been claimed to do a bunch of shit: elevates HGH, blocks stress receptors, promotes better vitamin/oxygen absorption, and subsequently all the benefits that come from those things. Bodybuilders take grams at a time before working out, but I'm just taking 1.5 g before sleeping.

It also makes you have vivid as shit dreams.

My large boxes that hold 10 dont really fit nicely into any box at USPS. I put two in the next size up flat rate box, and stuffed the hell out of it with padding.. and I could hear stuff moving when she tossed it about 2 feet into the bin. 7.50 for the next size up, for more than truffles.

As requested Kuyuk, this program will let you enter recipes and will output the quantities for each ingredient for a given total.

It's pretty simple and not throughly tested, let me know if you have any issues.

Enter your ingredients and amounts:
http://i46.tinypic.com/15bnue.png
Click Save Recipe, enter an amount in the bottom right textbox:
http://i47.tinypic.com/1zqt1kk.png
Use the dropdown to select other recipes you've entered, or enter a new one.
(No functionality to delete a recipe, but you can edit it ... can't rename it)

It outputs amounts in gal, c, Tbsp, and tsp, but will understand amounts:
t, tsp
T, Tbsp
o, oz
c
p, pt
q, qt
g, gal
lb

(Other than t and T, capitalization doesn't matter) If you want the amounts swapped around a bit let me know, I didn't do anything for fractions, but that wouldn't be hard to add if it'd be helpful.

You should be able to do some kind of adjustment to the invoices for fees. I know most A/R software, especially software dealing with CC payments since they get dinged out the ass for fees, have some sort of functionality for this.

I don't need two nickels! I went to the RCS food bank two days ago and they loaded me up. Where do you think the lamb chops came from?

I stole a pig once... I think? I mean it was a feral hog and I'm sure somebody owned the property.

I also know SOMEBODY ELSE that put a 3" slug into a gator head while camping once.

No need to mask it, we all know you put your penis (3" slug) into a old lady who gets too much sun and needs better dentures (gator head) while you were homeless (camping).

Turned them on their natural bottoms. I ate the big chip that had come off of that one you see, so it's not floating in the box anymore:

They need to warm up a bit before they're really perfect, but holy hell are they tasty, regardless of what the USPS did to them.

Fuck, sorry rad :(

I hate to hear that shit gets banged up..


I'll have to work on a solution on those bigger boxes.. they have an extra 1/2 inch top on them which fucks my truffles up.. I tried putting padding in a few of them, evidently not enough.

Maybe I can do both top and bottom pads with that shit I used... it was cheap.

Vanilla creme eh?

Well, I'll work on that flavor tomorrow, I gotta bust out about 50 truffles in a few minutes so I can make them Shari's out today as promised.. might get bumped to tomorrow

Also, I made pistachio truffles today.

Holy. Fucking. Amazing.

Steeped the cream with roasted pistachios and then used the cream and pistachios to make the filling, and then rolled it in more roasted pistachios for its coating.

It's fucking amazing. Seriously.

If you place them in paper cups (like what you'd see a reeses cup in) they wouldn't roll around/bang into eachother. It wouldn't solve your problem completely but slightly padded paper on bottom + truffles in cups + padded paper over top may help secure it more?

I feel your shipping pain. Last summer I got to figure out how to ship cupcakes without getting them totally fucked up and melted.

Haha, no skin off my back. They're gonna fare far worse after my teeth and stomach get done with them.

Just hope the feedback helps, is all. You've got a great product there, anything I can do to help, you know? It's not your fault. The stuff that you controlled is still awesome :-)


Thinking about it, I just got the recent Uline catalog. They have just about everything the world offers when it comes to shipping. You can probably find a low-cost solution there. Uline.com. I have no connection to the company, nor have I ordered from them. I just read through the catalog and saw the vast amount of shit they carry for shipping. Shit, they have boxes for shipping anchors. BIG ASS 250 LB BOAT ANCHORS. It's ridiculous.

There's a "cake and bakery boxes" section in my catalog, and a "candy boxes" section, too. I see 250 pads for 20 bucks.

Hope that helps.

8 different flavors though.. thats where the time comes in

weighing 8 different batches
heating/steeping 8 creams (if necessary)
mixing 8 different fillings
8 different garnishes
etc.

If it was just 1 flavor or 2 flavors, it would be drastically different...

I also ran to the store in that time, and read the PC about 50 times...

Okay, so mine did wind up arriving yesterday. They were a bit dinged up, but slightly better shape than Radamanthys's. I brought some to work today, so I'll snap a pic if I think about it before finishing them.

Three women in my house tried one, and all agreed they were delicious and worthy of oral sex in return. Sadly, one of those women is 50 years old. I'll be ordering more, because the bitches will eat them all if I don't stop them. Total, we finished 10 last night.

I brought 10 to work today, and I'm going to have some people here sample them. Or I might eat them all myself.

Damn it's amazing what the usps can do to shit. Hate to hear all this about those fine ass truffles.

In the last year of me sending packages to my girls two were lost in GA on the way. They gave us money but it doesn't make up for the pictures lost etc.

I may just start sending empty packages every day and hope they get lost to the tune of $150 each.

I actually just got them today. They might have been here yesterday, or even Saturday, because I just realized today I hadn't checked my mail since Friday.

So far, only damage in one box (out of the five), and they're delicious. Don't know why the particular box was injured, it was the Baileys ones, maybe they're softer, I dunno. Same issues with the chocolate dust spreading outside the boxes to the inside of the package, but I don't really care about that. Haven't eaten rich things in awhile, but I got back on that wagon pretty quick.

No website yet, flavors are listed on the first page, but to make it easy, I'll repost them:

Here's some explanation of flavors:

Coco Java - Chocolate with coffee, cinnamon and nutmeg infused

Hazelnut - Silky milk chocolate with hazelnuts and reinforced with delicious hazelnut liquor.

Amaretto - A Rich Dark Chocolate filling with amaretto and decorated with a sliced almond.

Port Wine - Our medium bodied chocolate with delicious Tawny Port. (Tastes like caramel strangely enough!)

Chocolate Decadence - my richest filling that is waiting to be indulged in.

Amarula - Our melt in your mouth Dark Chocolate with Amarula liqour.

Bailey's - Creamy milk chocolate with Bailey's Irish Cream

Caribbean's One Love (Rum) - No worry, no cry. Chocolate and Rum. Is it possible to get any better?

Cinnamon - Not only infused with cinnamon, but also rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Milk Chocolate - Silky and sexy milk chocolate filling that will melt in your mouth.

Pistachio - Elegantly scented pistachio milk chocolate truffle rolled in crushed pistachios.



Order them by PMing me.

Truffles are still 1.25, but going up to 1.50 soon, as soon as I have to pay taxes on it, the price goes up, until then, dont ask dont tell the gov.


Shipping is 4.95 for 1-12 truffles, and 7.50 for 13 or more.
