Feed your sweet tooth at next Chamber lunch

The next Chamber of Commerce luncheon will be at noon on Dec. 3 at the Mercer Island Community and Event Center.

Autumn Martin will be the featured speaker for the “Chocolate for the Holidays” themed meeting.

Martin, a fourth generation Washingtonian, is best known for her molten chocolate Hot Cakes. She founded the business in 2008, selling the namesake Take n Bake Molten Chocolate Cake in mason jars at farmers markets in Seattle.

In May 2012, she opened Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery in Ballard and now on Capitol Hill, and has received many awards and accolades for her desserts.

The Chamber will also award its Annual Business of the Year Award at the luncheon.
