Introductory TrufflesOur introductory truffles workshop is a ninety minute workshop that covers the basics of chocolate truffle making. Each participant will go home with a small bag of around ten individually hand made truffles that they've made themselves that can be taken home to share with family and friends. Our guests will make the ganache centre, pipe it in to chocolate shells, cap them in chocolate and then hand roll and decorate them with specialist chocolate ingredients for a truly professional artisan appearance. There's lots of tasting a long the way and the best part? We do the washing up!
We use real ingredients and aim through the workshop to give participants enough knowledge and skill to recreate their chocolate creations at home. The cost for up to ten guests for introductory truffles workshop is £250 plus £15 per person for any additional participants. |
Discovery TrufflesThe Discovery Truffles workshop (approx. 2 hours) focuses on the amazing world of chocolate flavour and is a favourite amongst our guests.
It includes a forum for questions to our expert chocolatiers, a chocolate tasting activity and each participant will also make a selection of twenty individually hand rolled chocolate truffles to make and take home with them to (possibly) share with family and friends. The first chocolate centre will be one flavour made by the whole group. The second centre will be a basic milk chocolate ganache which participants will flavour using a variety of different options to make their chocolate dreams a reality. |
|
As always flavours will be made using local, fresh, seasonal ingredients where possible and guests will decorate their chocolate with a choice of professional decoration techniques to make their chocolates unique and special. This workshop is aimed to give participants the skills and confidence that they need to make basic ganache mixes from scratch using readily available ingredients and to experiment with flavour within the chocolate centres.
Participant's creations will be packed in clear cellophane packaging and ribbon tied to take home to share with friends and family (if they get that far!).
We have found that the Discovery Truffles Chocolate Making Workshop is the perfect length for team building and bonding, getting to know your group better as well as sharing a wonderful, chocolatey experience. There's enough time to really crack the chocolate making techniques and skills without the need for introducing detailed professional-level knowledge which is taught in our Exploratory Truffles workshop.
The cost for Discovery Truffles for up to ten participants is £300 plus an additional £20 per person for any extra particpants. Our workshop can host up to a maximum of twenty four guests.

Exploratory TrufflesThis workshop is the ultimate in chocolate making fun; an epic two and a half hours in the world of artisan chocolate making guided by our team of experienced chocolatiers. Learn professional techniques such as tempering, moulding, piping and rolling and create a selection of fabulous chocolates to take home with you to share with family and friends.

Each centre will be made using different flavours and techniques using fresh, local ingredients where possible. We think chocolate making is the ultimate group activity. Suitable and accessible for participants of most ages it's a great way to build relationships and get to know one another better. |

During the two hour workshop we will cover marble slab tempering, microwave / bain marie home tempering and seed method tempering including identification of common flaws found when chocolate tempering. Participants will gain the skills and knowledge to further their work with chocolate when they return to their home or business.
This workshop is suitable for complete beginners although having experimented with chocolate or having professional experience will be an advantage and enable the workshop to be used to answer questions and trouble shoot. All participants will take home their creations made during the workshop and we'll be delighted to answer any questions or talk through the techniques and experience that you have to improve your chocolate skill set.
If you do not have prior experience this workshop is still a great fun way to make some delicious chocolatey creations to enjoy and share with family and friends and to give you a super introduction in to the world of chocolate making.
The cost for this workshop is £350 for up to ten people. For additional participants there is an additional £25 per person. For smaller groups it may be more cost-effective for you to consider our private workshop options for a tailor made chocolate making experience.
