When we open a business, our dream is to fill the shelves with the most unique and beautifully hand crafted products… But we forget three very important rules: First, it will be very difficult to make a profit on those super elaborate products because of their labor cost.

Second, most of our customers are not adventurous and they are not looking to expand their repertoire with your unique flavor combinations. They are looking for chocolates that taste like chocolate. For confort items that will bring them to their childhood. And three: Shelf life! Most of the products in our shop should have at least 2 months shelf life.

So this Class will focus on products that will be the money makers of your shop: Loaded Bars inspired by classic desserts, fat based spreads, simple panning items (made using a kitchenmaid attachment) wrapped caramels, and an assortment of indulgent chocolates treats, like our s’mores with homemade vanilla marshmallow and our ultimate rice crispy treat with layers of chewy caramel and crunchy gianduja.

We will be sharing as well smart ideas about how to market and package this products.

This course is ideal for anyone passionate about Chocolate! Not only beginners who are new to this world, but for people who have been working with chocolate for years, know for a fact that without a correct pre crystallization
-or tempering-  no chocolate work could be done, but do not fully understand what is really happening.

An Online | Live Class where Chef Melissa will share with you her expertise on a topic that has taken her almost 10 years to perfect. A program designed for students searching for new ideas to refresh their collections with beautiful, colorful and glossy cacao butter designs. 

In this two intense days Class you will learn all the tricks and techniques to take your skills to a whole new level.

15 different colorful designs using tape, stencils, sponges, brushes and a spray gun will be made during the Class.

For those of you that did not know, right before I opened my School I was the co-owner of a wholesale Chocolate company in Las Vegas.
