Rhonda Kave
Rhonda Kave, an entrepreneur and chocolatier owns and operates Roni-Sue’s Chocolates on NYC’s Lower East Side. Rhonda [a.k.a. Roni-Sue] made chocolates for over thirty-five years as a passionate hobbyist, informed by years of cooking and baking courses at the New School & Peter Kump/ICE before making it her career. A few years after starting Roni-Sue’s Kave’s desire for a more ethical and sustainable core ingredient led her to co-found MOHO Chocolate Company in Belize, Central America. Educating about chocolate has become another passion for Rhonda from hands on truffle workshops at Roni-Sue’s to developing and teaching bean-to-bar chocolate making classes as part of a STEM curriculum for NYC school children. Kave earned her BA in Sociology from NYU as a returning learner in May 2007 where her research paper focused on farmers’ markets, sustainable agriculture & food insecurity in NYC. Rhonda is an active member of Les Dames d’Escoffier NYC chapter.

We often do these educational chocolate-making set ups for community events or fundraisers. We thought the exhibit would be a great fit for Makers Faire since almost everyone likes chocolate!
