Celebrate Your Upcoming Wedding with a Fun Hen Party for all your Friends and Family.
Miss Witt’s Chocolate Hen Parties are fun for everyone, bring your grandma, your auntie and all your best friends for some sophisticated, but really good fun, chocolate-making and chocolate-tasting, hen party activity.
Learn How to Temper Chocolate
Getting the shine and the crisp snap, getting the cocoa butter crystals to be structurally strong, at the correct temperature, and the correct way to cool the chocolate has a direct effect on the shine and snap of the chocolate.
This is a very multi-sensual process as you will get to see the chocolate melting, to smell the wonderful aroma of our high-quality cocoa as it melts down - tasting is allowed at any time! In fact, it’s essential! There will be lots of stirring and swirling!
Mix the Ganache Centre for your Truffles…
The centre of a truffle is called ganache, I will teach you how to make a water ganache - it’s my unique recipe made with a mixture of chocolate and sugar syrup, there may be some flavours that you may like to add to this soft centre filling, depending on your package. While we are making the ganache you could be sipping some champagne, It’s possible to bring your own fizz to consume on the premises.
What Is a Mendiant?
You will be also learning how to make Chocolate Mendiants. French in origin they are basically large chocolate buttons made from melted chocolate and decorated with various toppings, I love to use dried rose petals but there are lots of options for you to choose from when you are making yours. The Word mendiant derives from the Latin word mendicans, which means “begging," They are literally that good!
Decorate Your Chocolates.
I will be giving you an insight into how professional chocolatiers decorate their chocolates with some beautiful transfers, this is very satisfying and will make your creations look so professional, they will impress your friends and family if you manage to get them home before eating them all - or maybe you won’t want to share! We also have some lovely pink and gold coloured shimmer for your truffles. You will be given a box to take your creations home in and if you don’t eat them all before you leave you should have made around 10 truffles, 6 mendicants and some chocolate buttons.
Your guests will be working in pairs, it’s a really great way to introduce new family members and friends to each other, breaking the ice before your big day.
Miss Witt can offer a fresh food platter if you would like to have some food with your fizz from home (and your chocolate!) for an extra cost, also you can choose to upgrade to my chocolate and Dreams Cocktail workshop which involves alcohol being added to the chocolates to accompany the cocktails of your choice -non-alcohol versions or cocktail versions are available
