Chocolate Making

Outline:
Put in a stint as a chocolatier, honing your chocolate skills and making some tasty homemade treats. Under the guidance of a true chocolate expert, you will learn how to make your own chocolates and even decorate them. This cocoa task can be done individually or as a team, competing for prizes.

Your time as a chocolatier starts with an expert demonstration of different techniques needed to produce the best chocolates around. Next, it’s your time to shine, manipulating ganache and other natural ingredients that will help you create your chocolate so it can be piped or squeezed into design molds.

While your own chocolate creations cool off and harden, you will learn the fine art of chocolate decorating using a variety of equipment and techniques. After a little practice, you can compete against others to create the best dressed chocolate lollipop. During various chocolate activities, you will be quizzed about chocolate to earn points.

Once your chocolate hardens in the molds and you remove them, your best looking ones will be forwarded for judging. When you have the team effort going, you all will go one step further, creating a logo, advertising tag and other marketing for your chocolate product. Judges will grade everyone on the taste as well as the appearance of the chocolate.

The best part about your Chocolate Dreams day is all the sampling you can handle! Plus, you will be able to take home your box of chocolates you created in the class.
