Ultimate indulgence
Valerie Messika needs no introduction. Her diamond jewellery has adorned the likes of Beyoncé, Cardi B, Charlize Theron, Selena Gomez, Julia Roberts, Lady Gaga and more.
Her motivation as she says is, “Waking up each morning with the same desire to imagine, create and dream. That’s what drives me. Messika is a story of passion, love and diamonds. Success is above all human.”
Well, it seems jewellery designing isn’t her only passion, baking is another hobby for her and admits one of her ultimate guilty pleasures is chocolate.
“I love chocolate, so when I found this recipe, I had to try it,” she says. “My daughters and I love to try new recipes together. It is a great time to enjoy quality family moments. This particular recipe was a great success in our household.”
