Chocolate Tempering 101 – CANCELLED

Here is your chance for only 9 lucky Sarasota/Bradenton area folks to register for the Candy-Making class on Wednesday, October 13th at 6:45pm SHARP!. The class will last about 90 minutes and go over the basics of homemade candy-making using the Dove Chocolate Discoveries Candy-Land bundle on sale this past September. We will temper all three chocolates – milk, dark and white chocolate in each of 3 teams. You will get to take home your creations to share (or not!) and the class handouts.

An advanced class is tentatively scheduled for mid-November. Seasonal molds will be the main focus of this particular class.Tempering102SneakPeek 100x100 photo in ChocolateChocolate Tempering 101 – CANCELLED Speaking of seasons, here is the holiday deadline schedule (barring snow, mudslides, strikes…you get it):

Chocolate Making Classes Postponed

It is HOT in sunny Sarasota – no big surprise since it IS August.  After a temporary brain cramp while trying to figure out HOW to get the A/C through one more summer AND maintain a cool house, the only sensible solution was move the scheduled DCD Chocolate Making class to the end of September.  The nay-sayers and boo birds already tweeted in with that time of year being the heart of hurricane season.  Perhaps. (YOU thought that Florida didn’t have four seasons!)   We could wait until after November 1st and then Halloween is gone and so is the opportunity for some really cute candy ghosts.

In the meantime, check out the short video to see what we will cover.  There will be three units going for dark, milk and white chocolates.  Bring an apron as we will get messy!
