I've attended several of Amy's classes both in-person and online and I've thoroughly enjoyed the classes. Amy's recipes, attention to detail, and outstanding knowledge, teamed with the friendly and supportive atmosphere that she creates makes the experience absolutely brilliant. I very much recommend attending one of Amy's classes.

I have attended two days Bonbons Intensive class which was an amazing experience! Amy is very knowledgeable, gave us so much information and tips on how to do shelling, capping, how to pair flavours, what to avoid when making bonbons, where to purchase ingredients and equipment and much more. I think this is a must to attend class for all the beginners and also for those who already have a bit of experience in making bonbons. I was very pleased with the result after the class, bonbons looked amazing and sooo delicious. Thank you Amy so much for these amazing two days!

Amy was such a fun teacher, chef, personality! Being 💯 new to her innovative brilliance with chocolate and the general concept of how to create flavor layering😬, Amy skillfully created an exciting duo session that suited the skills of my vegan chef friend and myself. When you book a private or small group session, know that you should allot some time to explore the beautiful countryside before or after your session with Amy!

Ready To Make Beautifully Designed Bonbons?
This class focusses on all aspects on making bonbons which includes colouring, shelling, filling and layering and capping.
Each class covers a new bonbon and therefore new designs, flavours and elements.
Technical skills that lead to creative expression
Elements covered in this class …
Chocolate Caramel
A deliciously rich and gooey vegan caramel. This element is a versatile addition to any chocolatiers tools belt. Dress it up or keep it simple. Either way, you’re onto a winner. It’s shelf stable and has a long shelf life as well, making it a good addition to a product line.
White Chocolate Raspberry Disc
Another versatile and shelf stable element that has a long life as there is no water or fresh ingredients added. You can use any shade of chocolate for this element, but white chocolate is perfect for this one as we want that raspberry flavour to shine, and shine it does. One magic element of this disc is that it’s pipe-able, making it a quick and easy component to incorporate into a product line.
Galaxy Design
One of the designs guaranteed to be demonstrated in this class is the Galaxy design, featured in the images on this page. This design is all in the colours you choose and the tools used to apply them. It’s one of my favourite design methods.
Cleaning and Polishing Moulds
This might seem like an obvious point, but caring for your professional moulds is very important. The way you care for them will ensure longevity of the mould and a brilliant, mirror shine on the chocolate.
Shelling & Capping
No matter how much experience you have in this, you can always refine your technique and learn something new. My technique for both these applications has changed over the years, and now I cap by applying chocolate to the back of the mould, rather than using an acetate sheet. It’s quick and easy once you know some little tricks and get some experience under your belt.
Colouring Moulds
We’ll be using naturally coloured cocoa butters (not raw) and stone ground chocolates for decorating the moulds. No fancy equipment will be used, so that everyone can do this at home or work.
