Baby Vates at La Maison du Chocolat

La Maison du Chocolat doesn't hold any events for infants, but the boutique does throw sophisticated chocolate parties for children aged 6-12. Kids get to make, decorate and eat a fine chocolate dessert.

Baby Vates and I will have to wait about six years to take advantage of this, but we did stop into the 30 Rockefeller Center location today for a semi-sweet hot chocolate and a light "Pleyel" chocolate cake made with almond flour, which came with a little dish of whipped cream adorned with dark chocolate pearls. (The only other available cake was the Delice, a square of layered chocolate mousse.) (We found it easier to enter through the East 49th Street entrance rather than from inside Rockefeller Center, where there is a small flight of stairs leading down into the cafe.)
