2-Day Professional Chocolate Making Intensive
Step into the world of fine chocolate making with this exclusive two-day intensive at Chocolate Tales in Hamilton, Ontario. Running from 9 AM to 5 PM on two consecutive days, the skills-based program is designed for passionate beginners, serious hobbyists, bakers, caterers, and aspiring chocolatiers who want to develop professional-level chocolate-making foundations through hands-on practice.
The course begins with the science and technique behind working with chocolate, including three tempering methods: marble, seeding, and EZtemper. Participants will also explore microwave and professional Selmi tempering machine techniques while learning how to achieve the perfect snap, shine, and texture. Ganache training covers milk, white, and dark chocolate formulas, piping techniques, slabbed ganache, precision cutting, and flavour development.
The intensive continues with Swiss truffles, molded chocolate shells, dipping and finishing techniques, and pot-cooked caramel making. Guests will also create and decorate artisan chocolate bars, explore filled chocolate bars and 3-D molding, and develop advanced decoration skills using cocoa butter colours and professional airbrushing equipment. The program also introduces bonbon artistry and multi-layered chocolate designs.
Limited to just eight participants and suitable for ages 19+, this immersive experience is designed for those ready to seriously explore the craft of chocolate. Participants should bring their own notebook and writing materials, as recipe sheets are not included. With dedicated instruction, extensive hands-on practice, and a professional learning environment, the program provides a strong foundation for creating fine chocolates at home or exploring future small-business opportunities.
