Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the minimum group size required to run a chocolate making class?

  +

  A minimum of 6 participants is required to run most chocolate making classes. If sufficient numbers are not reached one week prior to the class date, you will be contacted to reschedule your booking. However, private classes can be arranged for groups of 6 or more at no extra charge by calling Rebecca on 0414701477.

• How long do the chocolate making classes typically run?

  +

  Class duration varies depending on the type: most standard classes run for 1.5 hours (Adult Hand Tempering, School Holiday Program, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Family Chocolatiers classes), while the Easter Class runs for 2 hours, the Chocolate Making Workshop runs for 3 hours, and the Bean to Bar course spans 2 days with a light lunch included on day two.

• What type of chocolate is used in the classes?

  +

  Most classes use milk chocolate. However, if you book a private class of 6 or more friends, you can request other chocolate options. The Kids Holiday Chocolate Class is completely dairy-free and nut-free, suitable for coeliacs and vegans. Online classes offer all chocolate as gluten-free with the ability to request no chocolate with nuts or alcohol included.

• What do participants take home after completing a class?

  +

  All class participants receive a certificate of completion. Additionally, you take home a sample bag containing items made during the class. For example, in the Adult Hand Tempering class you make and take home a chocolate bar, moulded chocolate, and chocolate lollipops. The Chocolate Making Workshop includes a Chocolate Making Handbook with all recipes plus a selection of your chocolate creations.
