Chocolate Classes:
Discover a new passion for chocolate by attending our chocolate and confection classes.

Chocolate tempering, molding and decorative techniques, incredible chocolate and cooked sugar confections, three-dimensional pieces, spraying chocolate, caramels, nougats, toffee, ganache, dipped fruit and gourmet fudge are just the beginning of what students will learn in our hands-on chocolate and confections courses.

Designed for the professional and non-professional, each class focuses on a chocolate specialty topic(s). At the completion of each hands-on class, participants have a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practical application processes necessary to create their own incredible chocolate and confection products.

Private Classes:
Our private training classes are custom designed to meet the requirements of the company, organization, or individual.

Our confection wizard, Pam Vieau, will personally work with you to design a chocolate course to fit your specific needs. Your hands-on course can be structured for the novice or the professional.

Training can be conducted on-site at our location or off-site at your location.

All Courses include “theory” as well as hands-on practical application. A minimum of 3 hours is required for any private class.
