When it comes to a family affair, the Bair's family-owned chocolate company, My
Chocolate Company, definitely ranks high on the charts.
Bill, along with wife Shannon, daughter Sierra, 13 and son Colton, 7, operates a
fun, yet profitable business.
Since the company began in June of 2007, the Bairs have created chocolate
delights for several large entities including Southern Methodist University,
Paragon and Innovative Ideas.
If the order includes putting a photo on the chocolate, the picture is first put
into a program where touch-ups and backgrounds can be fixed.
The picture is then set into the printer that sets the colors, which are basic
food coloring.  The end result is a completely edible masterpiece.
'You don't have to have a photo to place an order though,' said Bill.
Special messages, poems, or even a person's name can be placed on a variety of
personalized gifts.
The Bairs receive many orders for weddings, bar mitzvahs and other social
events.
