Tiger J’s Chocolates - Let's help save the Tiger!
On Wednesday 9th August 1978 at the age of 12, animal lover Janet Coghlan survived an horrific attack by a Bengal tiger. Three decades later she has crafted these beautiful chocolates to help save the species, which has seen its population decimated by over 95% in the last 100 years.
The mauling at a zoo in the north east of England left Janet needing plastic surgery to wounds across her face, neck and body. But the ordeal sparked a lifelong concern for animal welfare: "I helped at the zoo because I loved animals - and I still do. But animals like tigers should be in the wild, not in pens or cages."
After the attack, the zoo owners gave Janet a huge box of chocolates; she has always associated the brand with Bengal tigers! Now Janet and her team of chocolatiers have created Tiger J's to support the animals' cause. By enjoying our chocolates you are helping the Born Free Foundation to save tigers from extinction and keep them in the wild.

Virginia McKenna's 80th birthday cake by Tiger J Chocolates

Janet Coghlan had been asked to supply a special 80th Birthday cake for Virginia and it was brought to the stage at the Savoy Hotel in London to oohs and aahs from the audience, a huge Chocolate Ganache and fresh Raspberry cake surrounded by leopard printed white chocolate flames and a large solid chocolate centrepiece depicting Born Free on a white chocolate plinth. Although the cake would have served most of the 400 guests on its own there were an additional 12 enourmous chocolate cutting cakes supplied for the Savoy staff to plate and decorate as the dessert.
