Wendy Buckner, owner of The Hot Chocolatier on Cherokee Boulevard, prepares assorted truffles for a client* Name: Wendy Buckner
* Position: Owner, chocolatier
* Location: The Hot Chocolatier
* First job: Working at a movie theater concession stand
* Best part of the job: “I could make chocolate candies all day. I’m standing here dipping truffles, and I could do it all day. I just love it. I’m very detail oriented, so I love decorating each little piece. I find it very therapeutic to be able to work on each piece at a time. Chocolate is fascinating. There are so many things you can do with it. My day is always different, because I’m making so many different things using the same ingredient. I love being in the kitchen.”
