Sweet Bites Homemade Chocolate

Making chocolates at home in Rashmi Tanmay Eden Rose Complex is a bit different than having a regular office. The kitchen is where everything happens at Sweet Bites. We are in the Kankia area of Mira Road, right near the Cinemax Theatre. On the weekends, you can see the crowds heading to the movies from our window. The apartment usually smells like cocoa and sugar which is nice but it gets tiring after a few hours. There are bowls and spoons everywhere and the fridge is always packed with trays. We started doing this because we had the space in the Eden Rose building. It is not a factory, so we only make as much as we can fit on the counters. Sometimes the chocolate doesn't set right if the weather is too humid, which happens a lot in Mira Road. We spend a lot of time wrapping the pieces in little foil sheets while sitting on the living room floor. The neighbors know what we do because they can smell the chocolate in the hallway. We use the local markets for most of the stuff we need. It is a lot of work cleaning up the kitchen every night. The kids in the complex sometimes ask if there are any leftovers. We just keep the boxes stacked near the door until they are ready to go out to our customers.
