Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are also a part time chocolatier with Pretty Sweet Chocolates, creating handmade unique chocolates that consist of detailed moldings and hand painting edible designs. Share with us more details of this job.
Ms. Carla Jimenez:
This actually started out as a necessity and then a hobby. I had a friend whose birthday was coming up and I didn’t know what to give her, so I went to this chocolate store bought molds, chocolate, and just kind of designed these little chocolate stars & she loved it! From there I kind of made it into a little side business and fun activity. At one time, it was just reserved for friends and family unless of course someone wanted wedding favors or some Christmas treats.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a day in your life.
Ms. Carla Jimenez:
When I’m working, depending on the day, I might get up at 6am, drive to work, go through hair & make up, then head to set for a rehearsal. After a rehearsal, we are asked to step away for about 10 to 15 minutes while they do lighting, then we start shooting for the day. We do rehearsal & lighting for every scene. Sometimes we have table reads for the next episode or we’re asked to do some interviews…it’s a full, fun day.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Have you always wanted to do a comedy series or would you like to try out other genres too?
Ms. Carla Jimenez:
I’ve done both comedy & drama so I don’t think I’d be picking about whether it’s comedy or drama as long as it’s something I’m passionate about. I love doing both. A Horror movie would be fun! I love scary movies. But having said that, IT’S AMAZING to get to come to work and laugh everyday…so right now, comedy is winning out!
