Lore

Jasmine’s Showstopper treats chocolate as both dessert and furniture. A tree-shaped fondue display has to stand, pour, and invite interaction, while the chocolate remains fluid enough for dipping and attractive enough to sell the illusion. The verified record adds a memorable piece of handshake lore: Paul gave Jasmine her first handshake with his left hand, a detail retained here without turning the entry into a recipe claim.
