CUSTOMER’S FEEDBACK
Thank you so much for arranging the chocolate truffle course for me and my family. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the different flavours I could make and the different chocolate truffle finishes. I’ve never used proper chocolate moulds before and that definitely wasn’t easy! You make it look far too easy, but thank you so much for being patient with me. The lunch was great too and thank you for getting gluten-free bread for my dad, that was really thoughtful.

Thank you for fitting me in to your busy schedule, I really appreciate that! I wanted to thank you for the chocolate praline course I did with you last week and just to say that my family loved the new truffle flavours we’ve come up with during the day. I posted the pictures on my Facebook and already had people asking me, when the new chocolate truffles will be available for sale.

Thank you, Magdalena for helping me to sort out my problems with cocoa butter tempering and chocolate moulds colouring. I was really struggling to produce consistent chocolate truffles for my customers and it was getting a bit embarrassing – having to constantly apologise for not so perfect finish. I’ve been practising after the course and I’m happy to say, that whilst I still have (only on occasion !) some imperfections on my chocolate truffles, most of them are coming out brilliantly. What’s more the customers loved my improved flavours and the chocolate you’ve recommended!
