This class starts with an introduction to cacao, the history of chocolate, the role and art of tempering and the difference between couverture, ganache and plain chocolate.
You will learn how to temper, how to create slabs from which to cut shapes, how to make ganache, how to pipe fillings into pre-made shells, how to enclose and top. We will also be making hand rolled truffles.
The class will finish with a glass of chilled fizz while we pack up the chocolate in gift bags and boxes.
We are found at the very end of Purbeck Road (off Hills Rd by the sixth form centre) where you turn left by Abbey college and then carry straight on for about 60m to the white awnings you will see ahead.
Please note that there is very limited parking on site. We recommend the multi storey at the Leisure Centre less than 10min walk away or the Babraham Park & Ride which stops on Hills Road, very close to Purbeck Rd.
