The Start of ~ Liquid Gold ~

Vanilla bean caramels when Kronicles first started

When thinking of a name for my edibles line I wanted something simple yet to the point, with an emphasis on the professionalism and luxuriousness of the products to be featured. The whole idea of infused products came about after I graduated college back in 2017. My ex and I both had a passion for becoming our own bosses, we both loved cannabis, and we both shared a common interest for food. We thought, "what better way to showcase who we are than to brand infused edibles" and alas, Kronicles was born!

The concept of Kronicles was to offer a line of custom-made ice creams and confections, all infused and highlighting our roots through our product selection and flavors. I am Colombian and Puerto Rican and she is Panamanian and Jamaican, and to us, our roots told our story. We put on an ice cream social (a tasting of our products) in May of 2019 and by the time the pandemic hit early 2020, people were loving our products! We had things like plantain ice cream with dulce de leche swirl, sorrel sorbet, chocolate chip ice cream sammies, guava jellies, coffee caramels, coconut panelitas... the list goes on and on. Towards fall of 2020, we were lucky enough to have the opportunity of doing a pop-up shop and then a few months later, were featured in an article of Eater Atlanta as an "up & coming small business".

Unfortunately, the relationship I had with the person I started Kronicles with, slipped down the drain towards the end of 2020. There were many things we just couldn't see eye to eye on anymore, and even though we hired a mediator to help with managing our content, etc. it just wasn't enough. The loss of Kronicles was extremely hard for me. It happened during a time of major grief...I was also dealing with the impending doom of the passing of my father. 2021 was honestly one of the toughest years I've had yet. Sometimes I think about the fact that deep down, I intuitively KNEW that something big was going to happen. Nothing felt right towards the end of 2020, and now I know why. Regardless of the trials and tribulations I was sent forth to conquer in 2021, towards that fall I was feeling better and more like myself again. A friend of mine introduced me to a group putting together some underground cannabis events and she suggested I participate and sell products again. I was a bit flustered because I didn't have branding nor had I made any infused goodies in months BUT I reached out to a couple friends, got a logo made, stickers and business cards printed, and a menu curated. I was ready to get back into the game, but this time as LIQUID GOLD...

~ Creative. Professional. Luxurious. Absolutely Divine. ~

This past month marked a year since my newest SOLO business venture was created. I want to give a huge shout out to all of those who have supported me throughout the years and endlessly show love towards my cause. It's been a constant battle back and forth whether I should pursue this venture or not but at the end of the day, making food makes me happy. It's the ability to be as creative as I want to be, and to showcase products that people normally don't see, that keeps me going. It's the endless amazing comments and reviews on my products and the networking that keeps me expanding. Liquid Gold is a reminder to myself that everyone deserves a break once in a while and that's totally okay, but to never give up on my dreams and what I love.
