How our Online Live Classes Work
Our Online Live classes allow you to interact with Chefs Melissa and Ramon and ask them your questions (techniques, decoration tips, flavors, tools, ingredients, prices, brands she likes to work with, etc…) on the spot for a supportive and creative learning experience.
You can also post your questions on the forum days after the class, and Chef Melissa will get back to you as soon as possible.
Are you busy on the day of the class? No worries! We’ll send you the class recording, and you’ll have 30 days to watch it, learn at your own pace, and ask all the questions you want in the forum.

Day 1
- On this first day, Chef Ramon welcomes you to the class with an in-depth look at the main ingredient families that interact with chocolate, such as sugars, fats, fruits, alcohol, and additives.
- Then, you will cover one of the most crucial concepts: water content in ganache recipes and the importance of keeping sugars dissolved in them.
- This will lead you to another essential topic: how to use different sugars and polyols (like sorbitol) in your recipes to extend the Water Activity (AW) and shelf life of your bonbon fillings.
- Finally, you will discover why fats are powerful texturizing allies that you should use to improve the final texture of your ganaches.
