off, she decided to go back into business. Said Lisa: “I have always
catered for friends and family, either making cakes or organis ing parties, so I decided I want

Lancashire Rural Futures, she then set up Cocomoyo.
She has already enjoyed
some success and has taken bookings for tasting parties. As well as talking about the
origins of chocolate and the chocolate-making process, she
gives partygoers the chance to taste a variety of chocolates and truffle filling. She will be aiming her children’s parties at youngsters between the ages of seven and 16.
