Coming from a South-Asian background, Annie Rupani, the founder of Cacao & Cardamom Chocolatier, wanted to incorporate innovative flavors into her products, such as cardamom, cumin, coriander, and fennel. She had gained a special appreciation for food during her study abroad session in Europe, which is how her love with the culinary arts began. When Annie made her way to Pakistan, she found a pastry school in Malaysia and attended a week of chocolatiering courses in Kuala Lumpur. Then came Cacao & Cardamom Chocolatier, a company that creates hand painted, handcrafted chocolate bon-bons and truffles that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also bold and innovative in flavor.
