Chocolate Experience Day

This is an excellent course for anyone who loves chocolate, but not a day for dieting. In the morning we will be discussing the importance of tempering. Our students will be using Callebaut couverture chocolate today, as we feel it’s the best on the market, and as it is pre-tempered it’s the ideal chocolate for the beginner to work with. We will be discussing colouring techniques, piping and flooding Chocolate. Each student will be shown how to care for and prepare moulds before filling. Each student will produce one 3D mould and chocolate lollipops. You choose which chocolate you prefer, rich dark, succulent milk or creamy white. To continue the chocolate experience, we will be giving you the 3D box mould you use today as a gift, allowing you to reproduce todays fun. In the afternoon we will be making a selection of chocolates to fill your chocolate box and you will be shown how to make chocolate modelling paste. During the day you will make a chocolate rose be shown how to use cutters and moulds with modelling chocolate, as well as preparing, a piping bag and pipe with chocolate. You will then produce a textured chocolate base for your mould to sit on.
