Before we dive into the Weird and Wonderful World ‑splattered madness,
let’s set the scene.
Lab Cocoa Workshop isn’t just a place. It’s not even just a business. It’s a realm — a colourful, chaotic, imagination‑powered universe where chocolate becomes creatures, ideas become adventures, and kids become tiny cocoa‑fuelled inventors with more energy than a sprinkle machine on turbo mode.
This is the story of how it all began… and where it’s going next.
How It All Began… Way Back Then
Once upon a very Quirky , upside‑down year (yes, 2020), chocolatier Trace had a spark — the kind of spark that smells like cocoa, glitters like sprinkles, and refuses to sit still.
That spark grew legs, grabbed a paintbrush, stole a chocolate mould and declared:
“Chocolate should be FUN!”
And just like that, Lab Cocoa burst into existence — a colourful, creative universe where chocolate isn’t just eaten… it’s experienced, splattered, swirled, sprinkled and proudly shown off to Nan.
Meet Trace — The Chaos‑Captain of the Weird & Wonderful Lab Cocoa
Trace didn’t set out to build a chocolate empire. She set out to follow a feeling — a fizzing, buzzing, “WHAT IF?” feeling that wouldn’t leave her alone.
Eight years later, she’s still following it. Still experimenting. Still dreaming. Still creating chocolate worlds that make kids gasp, giggle and shout:
“LOOK WHAT I MADE!”
Her imagination is the engine. Her courage is the fuel. Her chaos is the magic.
Meet the Lab Cocoa Crew
Trace never walked this cocoa‑covered path alone. Weird & Wonderful World of Lab Cocoa is powered by a team of brilliant, big‑hearted humans:
John
Dee
Maisy
Demi
Lyla
and the Next generation Flo, Ivy, Bea, Flynn and Freddie
Together, they’ve survived chocolate explosions, late‑night creature design sessions, sprinkle avalanches, and moments of pure creative delirium.
Four years ago, none of them imagined they’d be running a thriving chocolate workshop. Now? They’re the heartbeat of the Lab Cocoa universe.
Imagination… Shhh, It’s Top Secret
Imagination is our secret ingredient — the colour, the chaos, the full‑volume:
“WHAT IF?!”
moments that turn chocolate into characters and workshops into entire wibbly‑wobbly worlds.
It bursts to life through hands‑on creativity as kids paint, pour, swirl and sprinkle like tiny cocoa‑powered Picassos who’ve had three espressos.
Through:
colour‑first design with edible paints so bright they could guide ships home in a storm
story‑led play where monsters, creatures and chocolate realms run around causing delightful mayhem
sensory exploration where texture, colour, smell, taste and sound collide like a joyful chocolate earthquake
creative confidence as children march out buzzing with Pride
“I MADE THIS!”
total freedom to experiment with absolutely no rules, no limits and definitely no grown‑up seriousness
joyful chaos where sprinkles fly, colours swirl and ideas explode in every direction
Exactly the kind of beautiful, delicious nonsense we adore at Lab Cocoa.
Our Chocolate‑Creative Mission
Lab Cocoa has one outrageously delicious mission:
To unleash imagination so messy, magical and magnificently chaotic that chocolate ends up in hair, on noses, under elbows and occasionally on the ceiling.
Every workshop, kit and creature is designed to turn perfectly normal days into cocoa‑fuelled adventures so joyfully bonkers that if it doesn’t make kids giggle, gasp or scream:
“LOOK WHAT I MADE!”
loud enough to startle the neighbours — we’re not done yet.
Why Imagination Matters SO Much
Imagination isn’t just fun — it’s powerful.
It:
builds confidence as kids watch their wildest chocolate‑covered ideas spring to life
encourages play by letting them explore like tiny sugar‑fuelled explorers who’ve misplaced the rulebook
strengthens family moments as grown‑ups and little ones create side‑by‑side in a glorious mess of memories
supports learning with fine‑motor skills, colour theory, sensory chaos and storytelling
inspires future creators by planting a spark so bright it could probably power the sprinkle machine for a week
Imagination is the heartbeat of Lab Cocoa — and the reason we do what we do.
Who’s Coming Along for the Adventure?
Our cheeky cocoa creatures, colourful characters and mischievous monsters — Douglas, Sprinkle Monster, Gary the Snail — are multiplying faster than sprinkles in a wind tunnel. They’ll keep growing right alongside us as their sweet, silly, story‑stuffed universe expands with every new workshop, new kit, new burst of chaos and new dollop of magic we dream up. Grab your goggles. Hold onto your sprinkles. The adventure is only just beginning.
What’s Next for Lab Cocoa?
More creatures. More chaos. More colour. More imagination. More chocolate worlds waiting to be discovered. The future is sweeter, wilder and even more gloriously, ridiculously, wonderfully Lab Cocoa.
