Chocolate Masterclass Level 3

$199.00

Tempering chocolate is one of those techniques that sounds impossibly technical — temperatures, seeding, the difference between chocolate that sets glossy and snappy versus dull and soft. 

It's also one of the most satisfying skills to finally crack. 

Students who have struggled with chocolate for years leave this class saying the same thing: "I can't believe I can do this now." 

Whether you're booking for yourself or giving this as a gift, it's the kind of class people ask about doing again before they've even left.

Indulge your creativity in our hands-on chocolate bonbon class, where artistry meets decadence. Guided by expert chocolatiers, you’ll learn the essential techniques behind crafting beautiful, professional-quality bonbons—from tempering rich chocolate to creating silky ganache fillings and achieving that perfect glossy finish.
