"Great class experience. I went with my friend and our instructor/chef was Esteban (hope i'm spelling that correctly) and we couldn't have had a better time. The chocolate was delicious and we learned so much. Definitely would go back for one of their other classes."

"This chocolate class provided by experts in the chocolate business was excellent. To begin with, from having a great knowledgeable chef to learning about making chocolate to actually making your own chocolate was fantastic!! The best part with the knowledge acquired you will feel confident to make chocolate at home and impress your friends and family!!"
