"Chocolate artist Chris Ford's whimsical creations - once available exclusively online and to celebrities - are now accessible at his West Hollywood pop-up shop. The Butter, Love & Hardwork space features themed, seasonal chocolate designs inspired by holidays and special occasions, from Valentine's roses to Easter eggs. Beyond chocolates, the shop now offers pastries, coffee drinks and a chocolate vending machine, with plans for a dessert tasting menu."
"At first, the large-scale chocolate hearts, bears and gingerbread men could only be found online or in the homes of celebrities like the Kardashians. Then came Butter, Love & Hardwork's West Hollywood pop-up, and now Chris Ford's chocolates - in all of their whimsy - are finally available to eat instantly. The celebrity chocolatier made his name with themed, whackable chocolate sculptures, which crack open with the smack of a wooden mallet."
Chris Ford opened Butter, Love & Hardwork as a West Hollywood pop-up and bakery to expand beyond online and celebrity orders. The space presents seasonal, themed chocolate sculptures and holiday motifs alongside pastries, coffee and a chocolate vending machine, with plans for a dessert tasting menu. The installation features hanging faux roses and chocolate roses in heart-shaped boxes, and an Easter chocolate egg hunt idea with astroturf. Ford collaborates with pastry chef Alex Olmos and treats chocolate as a seasonal design discipline, rotating motifs, themes and color schemes each year.
