Honey and bon-bon tastings at Mademoisell Miel

Featuring exquisite, handcrafted chocolates endorsed by the New York Times, it’s no wonder that Saint Paul’s Mademoiselle Miel is getting a lot of buzz. Using honey sourced from hives located on Twin Cities’ rooftops, chocolatier Susan Brown has mastered the delightful combination of bitter and sweet with her signature honey bon-bons. Opening her showroom to guests for an exclusive, intimate honey tasting and pairing experience, guests will leave this event with a newfound appreciation for honey, an understanding of how the famous bon-bons are created and a satisfied sweet tooth. Your guests will arrive to the Mademoiselle Miel showroom and be greeted by honey expert and award winning chocolatier, Susan Brown. After the whole group has arrived, Susan and her team will lead a brief, interactive introduction to honey tasting. Once guests have the basics down, they’ll be led through a fascinating honey tasting paired with an assortment of unexpected bites and, of course, Mademoiselle Miel’s signature bon-bons. Guests will sip on wine and beer as they explore the different honey flavors. Before heading out, each attendee will receive a take-away tasting kit and coveted samples.

“Minneapolis local Susan Brown is the mind behind Mademoiselle Miel Honey Bon-Bons, and when it comes to honey and desserts, Brown knows a thing or two. Let’s do the math. When you combine the skills of a former pastry chef with the enthusiasm of a Minnesota Hobby Beekeeper’s Association Board member, and the know-how of a beekeeper with apiaries on the rooftops of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul buildings, you get honey-based desserts taken to another level.” Minnesota Monthly

“Perched on the edge of downtown St. Paul below the sweeping grandeur of the cathedral, Mademoiselle Miel’s combined kitchen and showroom space is both diminutive and highly elegant. Decked out with rustic wooden floors, clean white walls, soaring ceilings, and minimal yet tasteful decor, the small storefront reflects the qualities embodied in Mademoiselle’s confections – elegance, exquisite taste, and above all, simplicity.” Minnesota Business Magazine
