The Sacramento Business Journal has name Ginger Elizabeth Hahn one of their “40 Under 40″.
Excerpt from The Sacramento Business Journal:
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I would do exactly what I am doing today. I started in the food and beverage industry at the age of 14 serving pie and ice cream at a local Apple Ranch in Apple Hill where I am from. My dream as a child was to be a chef or a pastry chef. I use to put on cooking shows for my sisters and pretend to be Julia Child.

Local chocolatier Ginger Elizabeth Hahn is about to get some big-time national exposure. At 10 p.m. Monday, May 10, TLC will air a new show called “Chocolate Wars,” featuring Hahn competing against two leading chocolate artists to create a chocolate sculpture. It’s the latest in the channel’s lineup of culinary adventure programs, in the style of “Ultimate Cake Off.” Hahn was invited to audition and was chosen from a big pool of the best chocolate makers in the country. She calls the experience both “very humbling” and “terribly stressful.” While she’s not allowed to say if she won, she promises a lot of drama. “I felt kind of bad about it,” she says. “It’s not me. But it’s very entertaining. That’s what TV’s all about.”
