What, you may ask - or possibly not, depending on the way your mind works, is the funniest chocolate accident that has ever happened in Iain’s chocolate kitchen?

Naturally, after ten years, hundreds of thousands of chocolates and countless awards, there are some amazing stories from this wee kitchen. But there is one with photographic evidence.

One fantastically busy day, not long after the chocolate kitchen was born, Iain was flying from task to task answering phone calls on his mobile phone and, as one might expect, was tempering a vat of molten chocolate at the same time.

As the shiny liquid chocolate glided slowly around the giant stainless steel bowl, the phone was tightly wedged between shoulder and ear one minute, and then the next, was diving like a falcon for a field mouse towards the sweet pool below.

It hit the thick surface with a muffled thud, pausing in dream-like suspension for a millisecond before being irresistibly enveloped by the brown ooze, the caller’s words lost forever. It was a moment of complete fascination and humorous horror.

The fate of this immortal mobile is one that many of us might even envy. It is displayed in the Chocolate Centre on the way to our shop – see if you can find it!
