Debra Fleck

Debra’s love for chocolate began in her early teens when she witnessed a chocolate-making demonstration at a local mall. Captivated by the artistry and flavors, she spent her savings on chocolate-making supplies, igniting a lifelong passion.

After earning a scholarship as an NCAA fastball player at Baylor University, Debra returned to Calgary, AB, where she balanced family life with mastering the art of chocolate-making. She tirelessly researched, experimented, and refined her craft, always striving for perfection in taste and presentation.

Determined to use only the finest ingredients, Debra sourced premium couverture chocolate, studied cocoa cultivation, and perfected her recipes. As demand for her handcrafted creations grew, her home kitchen transformed into a bustling chocolate workshop, leading to the official launch of Epiphanie Chocolate in 2009.

Continuing the Legacy

The launch of Epiphanie Chocolate in fall 2009 was the realization of Debra’s dream—to bring exquisite, handcrafted chocolates to Calgary and beyond. Over the years, her passion and dedication built a brand cherished by chocolate lovers.

In 2021, Epiphanie Chocolate entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Billy and Vicky, a family from Hong Kong with a deep love for chocolate craftsmanship. Before taking over the business, Billy and Vicky worked as professional nurses in Hong Kong, where they developed a strong foundation in precision and quality—skills that now translate into their meticulous chocolate-making.

Their journey into chocolate began with formal training in professional chocolate techniques in Hong Kong, followed by a full year working alongside Debra, learning her craft and understanding the heart of Epiphanie Chocolate. With Debra’s guidance, they mastered the art of chocolate-making, ensuring that every piece continues to reflect the same dedication to excellence.

As the new owners, Billy and Vicky proudly uphold Debra’s signature recipes and original designs, maintaining the same high-quality chocolate ingredients that Epiphanie Chocolate is known for. They fully embrace Debra’s philosophy of creating rich, flavorful chocolates without adding excessive sugar—offering a more wholesome and balanced treat.

In addition to preserving beloved classics, Billy and Vicky bring creativity and imagination to their work, crafting new flavours and styles from time to time, inspired by their experience and passion for chocolate. Drawing on their healthcare background, they’ve also developed sugar-free chocolate options, allowing individuals with diabetes and those seeking lower-sugar alternatives to continue enjoying the pleasure of fine chocolates.

We invite you to visit our retail location at 1417 11th St. S.W., Calgary, AB, where we continue crafting luxurious chocolates for every occasion. Whether you’re indulging in a classic favorite or trying one of our new creations, we promise an unforgettable chocolate experience.
