Advanced Chocolate Skills and Craft with Kevin Reay

About this experience

Are you ready to take your chocolate skills to the next level? Our advanced class is the next stage on your chocolate making journey!  Lasting around 2hrs 30mins you will learn the secrets behind some of our more advanced chocolate products. With access to some of the finest ingredients, along with our expert guidance this is a truly memorable experience where we will teach a number of advanced chocolate making skills.

Your workshop begins with one of our delicious hot chocolates on arrival made using a traditional Belgian recipe from Bruges. After this we will get hands of chocolate making. During the class you will learn and be taken through the various stages of creating your own flavoured ganache, moulded chocolates, using coloured cocoa butter and moulded chocolate figures. You will also be able to choose from a variety of inclusions and flavours to enhance your chocolates too. After making the chocolates we will then take the time to beautifully package and ribbon your creations for you to take home and share with your friends and family.

We recommend that you have already one of our introduction to chocolate making experiences or have some previous experience of working with chocolate prior to attending this class. We will also learn how to taste chocolate, the tempering process of chocolate and we will also provide you with the recipes and class notes from the day. Refreshments are included.
