Our students learn to make their own chocolates. We will teach you to develop your own flavor combinations such as blueberry-lemon and milk chocolate-passion fruit. We also teach the classics such as chocolate truffle, strawberry cream and Tahitian vanilla. You will learn to make chocolate shells and to fill them, then dip them. You will learn to make molded items, such as Easter Bunnies. You will also learn to make spectacular hand-rolled truffles.

By the end of each lesson you will, no doubt, feel like Willy Wonka himself.

Music-themed cake and sugar sculpture wows crowd.

This cake was created for a very talented person in the music industry. Her amazing story is a very long one and so we decided to communicate all the fine details on edible sheet music that you see falling from a replica of her favorite music stand.

All of the instruments are chocolate replicas of her very own favorites.

As she is a child of the 60s, we chose Gerber daisies to adorn the sculpture. The flowers are sugar. The floating musical notes are also sugar.

This cake tells a long musical life story. The sheet music is edible as are all the instruments and flowers. Even the music stand is sugar!
