This Iconic Brick NJ Shop Is Closing For Good
An Iconic Brick NJ Shop Is Closing For Good . I am heartbroken to report that The Chocolate Belles on Chambers Bridge Road In Brick, New Jersey will be closing up shop.
It started as a family venture decades ago with Ann Shortt, her parents, Shirley & Frank Brautigam and other family members.
With the heartbreaking news of this iconic store closing, comes relief. Relief in knowing that it’s NOT because sales are down and they can’t afford to stay open.
This iconic shop and retail store selling supplies for candy makers, cake bakers, and all things sweet, will be calling it a day because owner, Ann Shortt is retiring.

Over the years, they have created countless gorgeous custom cakes for just about every occasion.
Being a home baker who needs help in the decorating department, The Chocolate Belles would have been the perfect place to take a class on cake decorating. When asking folks where I should go to up my cake decorating skills, The Chocolate Belles had been suggested to me by countless people over the years. I just never got around to making the time to perfect my skills. Now I’m sorry.
According to Susan W’s review: I have been doing business with The Chocolate Belles for many years now. I have taken candy making and cake decorating classes and I stop in to shop at least once or twice a month. They are always extremely helpful and are willing to answer any question. They take the time to explain the process and technique of whatever it is you are trying to do. They also have how to videos on youtube. A one stop shop for all of your baking and candy making needs. Great people!!
Congratulations on 43 Years of serving the Jersey Shore. I’ve been in your store a few times over the last 20 plus years and you’ve always been helpful and friendly . I have purchased a few cake pans, decorating bags and other items from your lovely store.
I wish you nothing but love and happiness on your retirement. Thank you for serving our community and making it just a little bit sweeter.
