Throwing my hat into the ring for the is white chocolate really chocolate discussion...

Found this on a website rather than digging out my textbooks from culinary school...lol

By definition, white chocolate is not actually chocolate. White chocolate contains cocoa butter, a product of the cocoa bean that is also used to produce chocolate. The cocoa butter, which does have a faint chocolate flavor is combined with milk, sugar and often other flavoring ingredients such as vanilla in order to create the creamy confection known as white chocolate.

In order to be labeled chocolate (as defined in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration) a product must also contain cocoa solids from chocolate liquor. Chocolate liquor is not alcohol. Rather, it is the thick liquid produced when fermented, dried and roasted cocoa beans are shelled, then ground. This ground up inner bean is known as chocolate liquor and is the key ingredient in all of the chocolates on the market except for white chocolate.

When the chocolate liquor is pressed, the fat can be removed from it. This fat is called cocoa butter, and it is the primary ingredient in white chocolate. In plain chocolate, the cocoa butter is reblended with the cocoa solids from the separation process in order to make unsweetened chocolate. It may also be sweetened and blended with additional ingredients such as milk to make the chocolate confection we commonly eat. However, with white chocolate the cocoa butter is not reunited with the cocoa powder. Instead, sugar and milk are added to create the final treat. Since the caffeine in chocolate is found in the cocoa solids and not the cocoa butter, white chocolate does not contain any caffeine.

Yes, a bakery would be nice, I'm sure at first it would be very tempting to eat everything, but after time it probably wouldn't have the same appeal.

I am beaming right now.

I'm VERY glad to hear it has all worked out for you! See ya there!!

Hey Gang

I have just received the seminar topics from our speakers for the event on Friday. I have updated the OP with this info but wanted to post it here as well.

If you have signed up already and this does not interest you please let me know and I will cancel your registration and refund your money.

Thanks
John

Lee Cockerell - Executive Vice President, Operations (Retired) Walt Disney World Resort
Topic: You Can Create Magic Too! Examples of how Disney Cast Members create magic for guests and for each other.

Marty Sklar - Executive Vice President and Walt Disney Imagineering Ambassador (Retired)
Topic: JUST DO SOMETHING PEOPLE WILL LIKE! During 30 years as the creative leader of Walt Disney Imagineering, MARTY SKLAR was often asked, “What do you want me to do?” by the Imagineers. In response, he frequently remembered the answer Walt Disney gave when the great Disney artist, Herb Ryman (who drew the first overall illustration of Disneyland and the castles for Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom ) asked the question that brought forth Walt’s classic response: “Just do something people will like!” Easy to say, but as the Imagineers created nine of the eleven Disney parks around the world under Marty Sklar’s creative leadership, there were often no simple answers. Join us as the only Disney cast member who was “there” at the opening of all the Disney parks tells the stories – on stage and backstage – from those magic places in Anaheim, Orlando, Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong.
