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.

Important Information - Please Ensure You Read This Prior To Booking

This is an advanced, very practical hands on workshop. You will work individually to create your products under our teaching, supervision and guidance. Our advanced workshops are a held in a shared group setting with no more than 4 other participants. 

If any participant has any allergies or dietary requirements you MUST advise us in advance of making a booking. We operate an open working kitchen where we handle many allergens. If in doubt, please check with us in advance. 

Participants must be 14 years of age or older. If a participant is under the age of 18, they must be accompanied by a paying, participating adult in the workshop. Unfortunately we do not have space for spectators. We also don’t allow babies, toddlers or pushchairs in the kitchen. 

Personal belongings should be kept to a minimum. A hot chocolate on arrival and water are included, but you may wish to bring a drink in a bottle with a lid as chocolate making can be thirsty work! 

As we open up our production space for shared workshops we have an extremely high standard of hygiene, health and safety at The Canny Chocolate Company. Every workshop participant must wear an apron and hairnet (these are provided).

You will need to stand for up to two hours. However, if you require seating, a limited number of stools are available.

If you want to gift a chocolate experience but are unsure of what date to choose, why not buy one of our gift vouchers which can be redeemed at a later date.

Once you have booked your workshop it is not possible to reschedule or cancel it. Please consider this when booking. Especially during busy times of year, we will struggle to re-schedule your chocolate making. We can't make refunds once your class is booked. Shared workshops require a minimum number of chocolate makers. In the unlikely event that this is not met we will contact you to re-arrange and we will always find an alternative.
