Sarah Amorese

Founder & Chef Owner

Piece, Love & Chocolate Owner Chef Sarah Amorese is a professional chocolatier and pastry chef. Throughout her teens, she and her family ran a bakery in Texas. She went on to receive pastry and culinary diplomas from the International School of Culinary Arts at the Art Institute of Colorado in Denver, Colo., and many other certifications and credentials from prestigious national pastry schools, including the Notter School of Pastry Arts and Chocolate Studio in Orlando, Fla., and the French Pastry School in Chicago, Ill. She opened Piece, Love & Chocolate in 2011, a specialty chocolate boutique where and she and her team create delicacies combining their experience, trends, art, and the science of chocolate.

Rebecca Moses

Cocoa Alchemist

Up until coming to Piece, Love & Chocolate, Rebecca has spent her days getting her MA in Literature, reading Classical works, Medieval romances, Renaissance essays, and some of that Modern stuff as well. She dabbles in calligraphy and watercolor, and, rumor has it, she’s been working on her first novel. Curiosity for the chocolate trade has led her deep into the rabbit hole of confections. She thrives on the craftsmanship of chocolate work and the quirkiness of sugar, not to mention that faraway smile she sees on customers’ faces as they take a good ol’ bite of fudge.

Aiesha Teague

Cocoa Bean Countess & FOH Manager

Aiesha joined PL&C during the inaugural year of 2011. She is a true chocoholic, and has been lucky enough to taste ALL of our house made confections, bon-bons, cakes, and drinks. You will find her smiling behind the counter or decorating the shop. She came to US from the deserts of Saudi Arabia in 2003 to attend Johnson & Wales University. When not eating chocolate, you will find Aiesha teaching yoga to kids in Denver Public Schools, creating culinary delights, and traveling the globe with her husband.

Phil Taylor

The Bar Tender

Phil joined Piece, Love & Chocolate in 2016. An affirmed chocolate lover, he can often be found tasting chocolate bars, pastries and confections in hopes of conveying with nuance and detail the incredible variety of the shop’s catalogue of flavors. At the counter, he strives to guide each customer to their ideal chocolate experience using those flavorful connections. He is also a musician and, when not selling chocolate, works as a freelance composer writing contemporary classical music.

Nich DiPasquale

Cocoa Philosopher

Before joining PL&C Nich studied philosophy in South Florida. Disenchanted with academia, he now finds more truth in food and music. When he’s not baking, Nich enjoys playing piano, biking in the mountains and foraging for wild mushrooms. Although it has not been confirmed, we suspect that Nich is more mustache than man.
