I had brought a few of my home made chocolates to work for my good friend Sukhi. She brought them home to share with her family. Later that evening, I received a
FaceBook message from her.
Her family LOVED the chocolates, and especially enjoyed the white chocolate Santa. She added that my confections were "the bomb".
FYI-- that is a VERY good thing.
She had asked me if I would visit her home, and give both her and her daughter a lesson in making chocolate. I said yes, but honestly, I didn't think she was serious. She came back a week later and said that another one of our co-workers -- Angie was coming to visit, and if she would join us.
So, this Wednesday, I will be driving to Brampton to conduct a chocolate making workshop.
Isn't life funny? Not ha ha funny.
Exactly two weeks ago, I was getting excited about learning how to make chocolate. Look at me now. I will be giving an instructional course on how to make chocolate.
Tomorrow, I take on the world!
Ok-- getting overly excited. Calm down Dee... Calm down.
What will THEY need:
-glass measuring 2 cup (microwave safe)
-two small glass or ceramic bowls / cups
-a few medium sized spoons for mixing
-a small bag of almonds and
-an apron

I will be picking up the majority of these suppiles at
Scoop 'N Weigh Foods Limited.
Wow! What a day today! I traveled from Ajax to Brampton to conduct my Chocolate Workshop. Kudos to my students (may I add that they are by far THE best students ever). Sukhi, Angie, Jena and Luca. Luca got a little bored with us, but the workshop wouldn't have been the same without him.
We created delicious Christmas and Valentine themed chocolate sweets. Sukhi and Jena designed two 3D reindeer, and Angie made a free standing sleigh. I believe they were almost chocolated out, but once they popped their edible delights out of their molds, their excitement level hit a new high!
Check out the photos and enjoy. BTW... They have promise to post their reviews on THEIR designer chocolate. Highlight -- I kind of bonded with Riley -- He's such a handsome dog!! catch this on my Twitter page.
