Euro2012 Belgium - Patisserie Vercrussye kitchen

The kitchen at Patisserie Vercruysse is a one-person operation. Chocolate is done up front, and in the back is where the ovens and refrigerators and freezers are. The operation is closed Mondays, and open for just a few hours Tuesday through Thursday - then open 7am to 7pm Friday through Sunday.

In addition to bonbons and a wide selection of chocolate items, Geert also bakes bread, makes Viennoiserie, confitures, and gelato. All in the space you see. Toward the bottom of the shot is a marble table - ground zero for production so Geert can interact with customers when the shop is open.
