It is snowing in town and wonderful Christmas trees glow in every window. When all the lights are off a little shadow appears amidst the snow flakes: a little Red Car that crosses the sky: it is the latest Santa technology!
00S Agent Santa has been specially designated to deliver presents to every one. From the Alps (Cortina dAmpezzo) Santa travels on a his Little Red Car to bring happiness, love, and chocolates everywhere!
The LRC (Little Red Car) is easier to park than an Aston Martin, faster than an helicopter and it will not sky fall but safely land through your chimney with a boot full of delicacies!
At Baruzzo we are proud to confess we hiredGreg Salvatori, the best photographer in London to take the only shot of the LRC you will ever find, whilst Raffaella Baruzzo has managed to gather all the Limoncello drops she could possibily reach! We are happy to share them with you all!

Raffaella Baruzzo founder of Baruzzo Fine Italian chocolates has worked with Mucci Confetteria to produce a selected range of mini bites, using the best ingredients available all around beautiful Italy, from North to South!
These chocolate creations include ingredients like hazelnuts from Piemonte (North) and almonds from Avola and Torritto.
You will also discover Walnuts from Umbria (a central Region, not far from Rome) and pure Amalfi coast Limoncello liquor (made with the lemons from the glorious and sunny South, not far from Naples)!
Another big and exciting novelty for this season is a new creation by Baruzzo Chocolate: the wonderful, joyful, and colourful Lemon-Cello drops!
A Lemon-Cello Drop has a warm liquid core of real limoncello liquor coated in a sugar crust made of pure chocolate.
It looks like a tiny, gorgeous lemon and it has an intense and pleasant feeling to it. It's unmistakably Italian! Are you not curious? Come have a taste of the Lemon-Cello Drops on Sunday Sept 23rd, in store at Selfridges!
Tony McGee and two gorgeous models
wearing Azagury's creations
Tuesday night Baruzzo was part of the glitterati crowd that cheered for Tony McGee.
The incredibly talented photographer was surrounded by old and new friends, media gurus and fashionistas coming to London during this particular Fashion Week.
The night was charming and the little bespoke creations by Raffaella Baruzzo and Beduschi kept circulating around the rooms of the Arts Club in Mayfair.
Jacques Azagury
Baruzzo proposed a vanilla scented limited edition praline and a delicate lemon creation. Both the pralines where decorated with delicate signature designs, a fluffy flower to evoke the beautiful and delicate essence of the swan and a midnight rainbow, with nocturnal colours.
In Baruzzo's opinion, Tony's party was just breathtaking and the people were as elegant as it gets (like charming Jacques Azagury on the left, the most fascinating designer).
Tatler Magazine wrote:
"Tony McGee is a man of the night. When he's not snapping celebrities at swish parties, he has been known to sit quietly by rivers and lakes, under the stars, to take photographs.
Lily Osbourne
And guess what? Those photos have been made into a wonderful book called Swans and I Dream and it's bursting with beautiful shots of, you guessed, swans in moonlight! So off it was to the Dover Street Arts Club for the official book launch.
Nicky Haslam popped by, joining Kelly Hoppen, Noelle Reno and Zafar Rushdie for Sipsmith's swan-inspired drinks (it's okay, they didn't taste of murky river water) while Lily Osborne sang and Tony made a speech telling everyone how much he loved the peace and quiet during his project.
Best of all, 100% of the proceeds from the book go to The Winnicott Foundation charity."
Baruzzo also had the opportunity to talk with Pippa Jones, Chief Executive at The Winnicott Foundation. Pippa works intensely to raises funds to improve care for premature and sick babies.
Tony McGee actively helps the Foundation and gives his contribution: all the revenue from the sale of the "Swans and I Dream" books sold during the Launch night was entirely devolved to the Foundation.
The Winnicott Foundation supports the neonatal units at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, and Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital, Hammersmith, by helping to save the lives of premature and sick newborn babies, helping families to be with their babies and helping to give premature and sick babies a better long-term future.
During the event, The Winnicott Foundation raised more than £1600! If you are interested in supporting the Foundation find more information here:
