Master Confectioner Makes Fine Gourmet Chocolate Candy

At the tender age of 12, Leopold Schreiber, Master Confectioner & Chocolatier, began his pursuit of candy making in a candy store located a few doors from his childhood home. He learned the techniques, tools, and recipes needed to create quality confections.

During his time with Nagel’s Candy, Leopold was promoted to Head Candy Maker then promoted to General Manager of the store’s chocolate factory. Leopold maintained his status as General Manager and Master Confectioner for 19 years.

However, Leopold never gave up his dream of operating his very own chocolate factory and store. In 1994, Leopold began turning his dream into reality by opening his own chocolate store in Binghamton, NY. His business became a pillar in the community through the acquirement of devoted, regular customers.

Customers had the pleasure of being able to watch first-hand as Leopold created chocolate masterpieces such as an Aztec Pyramid, Carousels, and a replication of the Binghamton Mets baseball stadium. Leopold never turned down the opportunity to fill orders for customers no matter the size or degree of difficulty. For one customer, he created 24,000 white chocolate golf balls!

After moving from his original store in Binghamton, Leopold enjoyed one year of running his store and sharing his creations with his customers in downtown Montrose. While forging new customer relations in Montrose, Leopold continued to serve his faithful customers in Binghamton through mail orders and personal deliveries.

Master Confectioner Leopold has certainly demonstrated his ability to create delicious confections and serve them with personal customer service. After a short hiatus, Leopold is happy to return with two new additions to his team, partner, Andy Wilmore, and apprentice, Tom Follert. Together they will continue to thrive, creating delicious chocolates for you and me. Come visit them at The Sweet Spot and enjoy a long overdue taste of smooth, sweet chocolate.
