Death by Chocolate: an easy way to go

Posted by Mark Wasnock

WALTHAM/NEWTON - Chocolate fudge cake, chocolate-covered cheesecake lollipops, and double-chocolate caramel ice cream cake produced smiles and sugar overloads among self-proclaimed "chocoholics" at yesterday's Death by Chocolate fundraiser.

WALTHAM/NEWTON Chocolate fudge cake, chocolate-covered cheesecake lollipops, and double-chocolate caramel ice cream cake produced smiles and sugar overloads among self-proclaimed "chocoholics" at yesterday's Death by Chocolate fundraiser.

Thanks to the well-honed sweet teeth of some 400 residents, the Newton and Waltham Rotary Clubs raised about $22,000 at the eighth annual event at Crowne Plaza Hotel, said Kenneth Brown, Rotary spokesman and event organizer.

"They were all delicious, everything was very good," said Elaine Levine of Brookline.

She lamented she arrived an hour before the event ended, when several vendors had run out of chocolate.

But she satisfied her craving with the remaining chocolate cheesecake lollipops, chocolate chunk brownies and samples of seven-layer chocolate fudge cake.

"As far as decoration, and quality, the Icing on the Cake has beautiful cakes. I've never seen anything like the decorated cakes they make," Levine said.

"Costco had a seven-layer cake, that was delicious. It's really a toss-up between their chocolate cake and Icing on the Cake. Both were excellent. Of course, I'm a chocoholic anyway," she said, laughing.

Her husband Joel is not so chocolate crazed. "She ate enough for both of us," he teased.

Rotarians got "excellent feedback, a lot of kudos," for the candy concoctions crafted by Newton North High School culinary students, Brown said.

North kids handed out 1,500 chocolate-covered "lollipops" filled with espresso-flavored cream cheesecake, banana-flavored cheesecake and caramel cheesecake, said junior William Cruz. After experimenting with flavors for a month, the students, who spend about three hours a day in culinary classes, opted for the espresso, caramel and banana flavors, he said.

In fact, chocolate samplers voted North students' creative lollipops "best candy."

The Waltham Boys & Girls Club's caramel and peanut butter turtles were a smash, and after passing out 400 treats, the kids ran out.

Costco presented its seven-layer fudge cake, "The All-American," one of the store's best-selling bakery items, said marketing representative Maggie Buckley.

"We don't advertise, so this is more for community involvement. At Costco, people think it's just bulk, and they don't realize we have a lot of other items," she said.

Buckley tried Icing on the Cake's cake in the competition. She said choosing the winner would be a close call.

Though people praised the fudgey goodness of the "All-American," voters chose Icing on the Cake's chocolate mousse cake as best in the cake category.

Baker's Best won best brownie, and Cabot's Ice Cream won best unique dessert.

The winners will be presented with plaques at an upcoming Rotary meeting, Brown said.

"It went very well," Brown said. "Our sponsors just really stepped up this year."

The Rotarians raised money from the event through a silent auction of such things as desert baskets and Red Sox tickets. They also got money from sponsors and ticket sales.

The Rotary will distribute the money raised at Death By Chocolate to local charities, such as the Waltham and Newton Boys & Girls Clubs, the YMCA, and Salvation Army, he said.

"These are very local charities that need the money more than ever," Brown said.
