Jute Cottage Bangalore

Jute Bags
If you prefer natural products, then here's a must have accessory - Jute bags. If you're from Bangalore or coming to Bangalore, make time to visit Jute Cottage at Cambridge Layout, Bangalore.

I'm a big fan of Jute Cottage products. They have a wide selection of Jute products, starting from ladies handbag to cute jute pouch. I have a good collection of both and I've gifted many jute bags to my friends and relatives.

Other Jute Cottage Locations
Apart from Cambridge layout outlet, Jute Cottage has outlets in other localities, like Brigade road, Commercial street and other places. Jute Cottage is situated towards the end of Sai Baba temple road, Cambridge Layout, Bangalore.

 If you're not from Bangalore, you can order jute bags through me. Mail me your requirement for sample pics.

Happy Sunday,

Pancake

It's Sunday and it's pancake day for me. Here's something that's becoming a popular breakfast dish in Bangalore.

Home Made Chocolates

Dark,white or milk compounded chocolates need to be melted and set it in the moulds with different kind of fillings. It is as simple as that. Once you learn the basics of chocolate making, then you can innovate with your ideas. Try your hand in making chocolates with unique design, different packaging and flavor.

I had a preconceived notion about learning chocolate. I felt it was close to rocket science, something I can never learn in my lifetime. But at these vanished into thin air after learning chocolate making. Now I feel it's easier than cake baking.

Chocolate Making De-mystified 
Do you like to learn chocolate? Yes, you too can learn the simple art of making chocolates.
For newbies, I take one-to-one chocolate making class in Bangalore. Reach me at #9379398865 or mail me at mennasdelight@gmail.com.

You can learn over 15 types of chocolates ( fillings) in one class.  Each chocolate learning class has 2.5 hour duration. In this short span of chocolate heaven you will learn to make rich chocolate that will have you licking your lips.

Package your Chocolate Creations

Apart from making, you'll learn different kinds of chocolate wrapping to package your chocolatey creations. Finally you're ready to wrap them up to take these delicious chocolates to your home.

Chocolate making courses are currently available at Cambridge Layout, Bangalore. I also take chocolate making classes in Trivandrum and Hyderabad. Call at # 9379 398865 for details.
