Design / Colouring  

You’ll use naturally coloured cocoa butters to design their Easter Eggs.

For this marble design, they don’t use any tools, just their fingers.

It’s a lot like finger painting, but, if you have experience with colouring chocolate, you’ll know they do the colouring in reverse to how you’d paint a canvas.

So they’ll show you how to control the ‘paint’ and get the effect you’re looking for.

In this class they’ll be working with a larger palette of colours than they usually do; blue, green, turquoise, white, purple, red and pink.

Shelling  

Once the moulds are painted, it’s time to shell the mould.

This can pose questions for people around how much chocolate to use for the shell, how to know how much to use/you’ll need, how to get the shell thickness that you’re looking for, and so on.

They’ll go through all of these points in the class.

Sealing / Fusing The Eggs

In order to get that 3D egg, rather than it having one flat side, you’ll need to connect the two halves together.

There are several ways to do this, but in class you’ll connect the two eggs by fusing them together.

In this case, they’ll need to form a thick edge.

They’ll show you the tips and tricks they have learnt to get that edge you need without it cracking or breaking during the shelling process.

Filling The Eggs / Chocolate Truffles

Before fusing, you can fill the eggs with nuts, small chocolates, candies, love notes, soft fillings, etc…

In this class, you’ll make some easy chocolate truffles, enrobe them and then fill the eggs with these before connecting them.

Includes refreshments and a glass of wine.
