Little Chocolatiers was a reality show that premiered on TLC in 2010. The show featured Steve Hatch, Katie Hatch, and Sarah Kent, who were all passionate about making chocolates. The trio owned and operated a chocolate shop called Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory in Salt Lake City, Utah. The premise of the show was to highlight the Hatch siblings and their team's unique chocolate-making process and showcase their amazing chocolate creations.
The show followed the three main characters as they worked long hours in the chocolate factory, managing their business, fulfilling custom orders, and making their signature chocolate creations. They were always eager to try new things and experiment with different flavors, textures, and designs. Viewers watched as they went from initial planning to delivery of the final product to satisfied customers. The team worked tirelessly to create edible works of art from chocolate that were both visually stunning and delicious.
Over the course of each episode, viewers got to see the team tackle a variety of challenges, including creating a chocolate sculpture for a local business, creating chocolate showpieces for a local festival, and creating a giant chocolate guitar for a famous musician's birthday. These challenges often presented the team with unique hurdles to overcome, but they always came through with their chocolate creations.
The show also highlighted the day-to-day operations of running a small business, including managing employees, handling customer complaints, and addressing supply chain issues. While it may have looked easy to viewers at home, running a chocolate business was no easy task.
One aspect of the show that was particularly interesting was the unique design challenges that came with creating chocolate sculptures and showpieces. Unlike sculpting clay, which can be manipulated and shaped in many ways, chocolate is a temperamental substance that requires just the right temperature and consistency to work with. The team often had to re-do parts of the sculptures that did not turn out quite as planned, and they had to work quickly to avoid the chocolate from melting in the hot Utah sun.
Despite the challenges, the team always managed to create amazing and unique chocolate creations. From giant chocolate mountains to life-sized chocolate motorcycles, their chocolate sculptures were always jaw-dropping.
Another focus of the show was the personal relationships between the three main characters. The siblings' interactions with one another were often the heart of the show. Audiences were shown the natural chemistry and quirky personalities of each character. It was easy to see that they cared deeply about one another and worked very well together as a team.
