August 16, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
San Francisco, CA. The dark chocolate Truffle Gateau decorated with pure 23 carat edible gold ’bling’ and created by the exclusive Northern California chocolatier Belgique is just one of newest trends in decadent edibles that have now become part by the bay area youth-oriented club and party scene.

Surprised by the sudden increase in demand for their product and media attention, Linda Bartlett the co-founder and creator of the dark Belgian Chocolate 23 Carat Egyptian Gold Truffle Gateau, says she’s "happy with all of the sudden growth in her small company" and stated that the craze first started when her decadent edibles were "ordered from someone who was attending a bay area E-40 concert." Bay Area rapper Earl Stevens a.k.a. E-40 is leading a new pop culture phenomenon which originally started in the San Francisco bay area called, ’hyphy’ (pronounced HIGH-fee). The hyphy movement includes everything from music, cars, dance, fashion and slang.

The dark Belgian Chocolate Truffle Gateaux are decorated by hand with bamboo tweezers with the pure 23 carat edible gold and delicately placed on each 2-inch Truffle Gateau square. Belgique is among a few innovative chocolatiers who are leading the way in creating the ultimate decadent desserts.

The dark chocolate 23 carat Egyptian Gold is currently sold at the King Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit in Chicago at the Field Museum. Creator Linda Bartlett claims the Truffle Gateau have the same ingredients once consumed by the ancient Egyptians and was believed if eaten would give you eternal life.
