Cupcake, tart or tiramisu? Nishrin Rajkotwala's chocolate factory will whip up the choicest goodies and have them delivered to any corner of the country
Confectioner and dessert maker, Nishrin Rajkotwala takes her chocolate-making seriously. You realise this as soon as she tempts you with a platter of brownies, followed by some more boxes of assorted chocolates, cakes, pies and tarts.
Tiramisu
Nishrin has been in the business of creating sinful bites for three years. Her Mumbai home has been transformed into a cosy chocolaterie, where she pounds cocoa beans to create mouth-watering treats for those who can't get enough of their chocolate fix.
Her love and passion for cooking has translated into Chocolate Blues, a dessert delivery service that caters to the sweet-toothed across the country.
With a degree from the Institute of Hotel Management, Catering Technology and Applied Nutrition, Dadar, and an aspiration to translate her labour of love into a successful business venture, Nishrin forged ahead into sweet territory. From alcohol-infused cakes to a combination of chocolate and fruit varieties to a range of assorted chocolates sprinkled with nuts, almonds and coffee, to tea cakes, souffl ufffd, mousse, and tarts, her menu promises to leave you eating out of her hands.
Stressing the need to maintain high standards of quality, Nishrin says, "There are many dessert makers in Mumbai, but my creations stand apart because I don't compromise on taste and quality." BUt we think it's her 'deliver-anywhere-in-the-country' promise that's her USP.
A venture that began, thanks to the encouragement of family and friends, is now growing. Nishrin also customises orders by offering to package her creations in innovative designed boxes. Of the lot, her brownies and cupcakes are the hottest selling items. "The Triple Chocolate cupcake and the Double icing brownie is a hit at kids' parties. Theu00a0 adults can't seem to get enough of the ChocoBlues Walnut Brownies."
