Chocolate Making
- Chocolate making
Overview:
What a gastronomical delight! You get to create your own chocolate masterpieces under the guidance of a professional chocolatier. Made by hand, you will follow a number of special chocolate recipes and mold your own candies, competing either as a team or individually. There are even prizes for the most tasty and most creative!
Your chocolaty day starts off with a demonstration by the chocolatier who will guide you through the chocolate-making process from the measurement of ingredients to how to create special shapes using molds. Using a creamy ganache recipe, you will have plenty of opportunities to shape chocolate masterpieces.
While the chocolate cools and solidifies in their molds, the chocolatier will then guide you in the fine art of chocolate decorating using tips of the trade such as icing piping. During the entire chocolate making process, you and your team are constantly quizzed on various chocolate trivia. Once the chocolate hardens in the molds, you will get to decorate them with the techniques you have learned.
Next, the judging of the decorated solid chocolates takes place. In a team setting, you all will have to come up with special packaging and a catchy slogan for your chocolaty creations. Taste and presentation are the top ratings the judges will shoot for. Afterward, you will have a special box of chocolates of your own creation to take home to share with family and friends.
