Chocolate Trust

Philip Fincher loved sweets since he first set foot in Shipley's Donut Shop in his hometown of Fayetteville, Ark.

But he suppressed that passion for a career in law, helping wealthy people manage their estate planning. “How much more of this do I want to see?” he wondered while drafting yet another trust document one day.

So in 2008, after more than a decade practicing law, he enrolled in a six-month program at Notter School of Pastry Arts in Orlando. Run by the famous Swiss pasty chef Ewald Notter, Fincher graduated first in his class.
