A Sweet Start to the Year: My Chocolate-Making Adventure!
Guess what?! I just had the most amazing experience at a FREE chocolate-making workshop hosted by Iskaparate.com! It was their first culinary event of 2025, and what a way to kick things off! The "Welcome to an Exclusive Chocolate Atelier: A Chocoholic's Dream Class" was held on January 18th at All About Baking in SM North EDSA, and featured the incredible Master Chocolatier Christian Valdes of CMV Txokolat.

Seriously, the whole thing was pure magic! I learned so much from Chef Christian, and the best part? This amazing opportunity was offered to Iskaparate.com subscribers as a thank you for their support – a fantastic site-wide promo organized by their marketing arm, DTC Promos Inc.
It wasn't just about chocolate; it was about community too! I got to meet Josefina Natividad, President & COO of Iskaparate.com, who shared Iskaparate's inspiring journey, and Marissa Dames, President & COO of DTC Promos Inc., who introduced their exciting new Affiliate Program.
This program is seriously game-changing! It's super open and flexible, letting you promote any product on the Iskaparate.com site and earn commissions. You can track everything – engagements, commissions, the works – through their Referral Pulse platform. Intrigued? Head over to Referral Pulse to create an account!

This chocolate workshop is actually the second hands-on class Iskaparate.com has put on, partnering with All About Baking and Unox Philippines (who are now official partners and sellers on the platform). Remember the Christmas Mooncake Workshop with Chef Cathy Yu from Save Bakery and Cafe Philippines back on November 19th, 2024? This chocolate extravaganza is just the beginning! Iskaparate.com plans to host monthly hands-on workshops featuring culinary experts – how cool is that?!
