text: R.I.P.\n\nChocolate Swan \n[January 1983 - March 2009] \nResident of Mandalay Bay\n\nAfter a courageous 16 year battle with erratic consumer demand and developing trends, Chocolate Swan passed away peacefully at their home in the Mandalay Bay. CS was very popular amongst both its peers and clients for making some of the most delicious desserts on the Strip. Their eclairs were among the best in the resort, and their cakes so beautiful that brides often called in advance to place orders for their big day. CS reached out and touched the hearts of so many with their delicious treats. \n\nI will add, the minute I discovered they had passed (it was a little over three minutes ago) was a sad one for me. For the family and friends of Chocolate Swan, I shed a virtual tear.\n\nPlease forward all donations, warm wishes and condolences to: Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV, (877) 632-7800
