Members of the Australian Pastry Team will build a Sydney-themed chocolate showpiece under public gaze in the window of the store.
Josophan's Fine Chocolates of Leura owner Jodie van der Velden said the showpiece was originally created in Singapore at the Asian Pastry Cup competition, where the team placed first earlier this year, qualifying to represent Australia and compete in the Coupe du Monde (World Pastry Cup) in Lyon, France, in January 2013.
``This is a rare opportunity to see a large, complex competition chocolate showpiece being constructed,'' she said.
The new shop stacked with decadent fine chocolates is a satellite boutique store to the multi award-winning Josophan's Fine Chocolates laboratory and store in the upmarket Leura Mall in the Blue Mountains.
``To be able to bring a little of the beautiful Blue Mountains magic to the city is a very special thing,'' Ms van der Velden said.
Blue Mountains Lithgow and Oberon Tourism chairman Randall Walker congratulated Ms van der Velden on the new store.
``It will be a fantastic opportunity for people working and living in the city to sample the exquisite products Jodie and her team create before heading up to the Blue Mountains to see where and how the chocolates are made and explore the magnificent World Heritage Area in general.
``Josophan's is one example of the many unique attractions and businesses in the region, and Jodie opening a retail outlet in Sydney CBD is obviously a sign of the Josophan's success and we wish her the very best.''
Chocolate lovers can expect an array of handcrafted goodies using Fairtrade Certified Belgian couverture chocolate and fresh flavour infusions, luxurious hot chocolate powder, chocolate bars, figurines and confectionery when they visit the new boutique.
The delicate centres infuse cream with fresh herbs like basil and mint and premium ingredients including saffron, coffee beans and the aromatic Tahitian vanilla bean, to name a few.
Blue Gum and Yellow Box honey, hazelnuts from Orange and fine chocolate imported from France and Belgium blend together to make extraordinary chocolates.
In fact, Josophan's - Fine Chocolates products are so fresh they are best consumed within seven days.
