Flesor's Candy Kitchen, Tuscola, Illinois

Dear Friends of Flesor's Candy Kitchen,

Anna Marie Jarvis is responsible for starting our annual Mother's Day celebration in the U.S., and we confectioner gals salute her and all the moms this year on May 13. In the candy kitchen at Flesor's right now, sister Ann and soul-sister Cindy are tapping their imaginations. You see, they are coming up with ideas for new, special-for-Mother's Day cream flavors that I, Devon, am being forced to mix and mix again until I have achieved their vision. And although this creative method of ours has worked well and led to some marvelous confections over the past few years, I do grumble a bit. Implementing is rarely easy, especially when my sisters bring in little bits of this and that they have picked up for God knows how much money at some secret, organic, specialty shop (only God knows where) and expect me to make something really delicious that looks beautiful, tastes heavenly, and fits into a box that we can then sell to folks for a reasonable price. PLEASE! Older sisters—they're so bossy!

But we love all of our sisters and our mothers, and we will do everything we can to bring a little joy into their lives. At Flesor's, joy comes dipped in chocolate.

Please wander through our website and pick out something special for your mother. Or visit our beautiful shop in Tuscola, Illinois, where we serve lunch every day and terrific, home-made ice cream . We're taking reservations now for Sunday, May 13. We'll be serving prime rib and delicious, lighter fare for those saving room for a warm caramel sundae.

Our hours are Monday through Saturday, 9:00-5:00 and Sunday, 11:00-5:00. We serve lunch (no breakfast, no dinner) from 11:00-3:00. However, we do book private parties of 20 or more at almost any time you want and can cook almost anything EXCEPT deep-fried food which we don't do—ever.
We book candy room tours for large groups (yes, even buses) and love to share the history of our store with anyone who will listen—bad jokes and all. If you would like to use our store as a setting for your film, we would be happy to lease it to you for a staggering sum for a month or two. How about August and September?

Yours in chocolate,

Ann and Devon
The Flesor Sisters
