Chocolat Affaire

The kitchen gets incredibly warm whenever we are melting down the chocolate. We are located over in Binnamangala, at 1C-602, which is quite close to St Johns Medical College. Being right on 100 Feet Road means there is absolutely never a quiet moment during the day. You can hear the constant honking of cars and bikes from morning until night. I spend the bulk of my time tempering chocolate or dipping different sweets. It is very messy work and my apron is usually covered in brown streaks before the lunch hour even hits. We get a lot of medical students coming in from the college nearby. They usually look pretty exhausted and are just looking for something sugary to get them through their shift. Our space isn't very big at all, so we have to stay very organized. If you leave a bowl or a tray in the wrong spot, someone is bound to knock it over. I have definitely dropped my fair share of stuff over the last few months. It is frustrating, but you just have to mop it up and start the whole process over again. We don't have some big corporate office or a fancy setup. It is just us in the back making things by hand. Sometimes the smell of cocoa is so strong that I don't even want to look at a candy bar when I get home. We try to keep things moving as fast as we can. The traffic out there makes getting supplies a real headache. I prefer the quiet mornings.
