New Chocolate Delight courses could be the golden ticket to a career in chocolate
Many people consider pursuing a career in making chocolate as a fantasy, but an event that has been organised by the events company Chocolate Delight is going to allow guests the opportunity to learn the fundamentals about creating chocolate.
It is a two-day course that is going to be perfect for anyone who is thinking about pursuing chocolate making as a career.
Many people create chocolate as a hobby, and for those it is a perfect course about how to turn this passion into a real career.
There is also another course being run which lasts for a single day that covers more specific things such as moulds as well as some of the legal complications that are associated with selling chocolate.
Both courses can be adapted for people who are lactose intolerant. “The aim of the fundamentals course is to give delegates a thorough understanding of basic chocolate making skills” says chocolatier Gerry Wilton of Chocolate Delight. “The advanced session then builds on those skills. Both are hands-on as well as informative and entertaining.”
Fundamentals of Chocolate covers:
• The history of chocolate and the production process from bean to bar
• Health benefits of chocolate
• Different types of ganache
• The theory and science of tempering
• Making and coating truffles
• Flavouring chocolate
• Moulding chocolate
• Chocolate tasting, featuring some of the world’s best chocolate
• Packaging chocolates professionally
As well as speciality moulding and the legal aspects of making and selling chocolate, the advanced course also covers decorating chocolates and different types of filling.
Both courses take place at the relaxed and friendly family-owned Chocolate Boutique Hotel in Bournemouth on dates midweek till April 2013. Complimentary refreshments and lunch are provided. Specially discounted room rates at the hotel are available too for those who wish to stay overnight.
Chocolate Delight also holds chocolate truffle making workshops nationwide as well as arranging chocolate themed corporate team building events. To find out more, visit
