- Cocoa butter moulds colouring & decorating
- Working with professional equipment, including airbrushing
- Chocolate truffles, bars, lollipops

How does online learning work
I prefer to run my Skype chocolate session as practical as possible. The Skype session could be a mixture of demonstration & chocolate making ‘along’ & questions & answers session.
I’ll e-mail you list of ingredients/equipment/recipes before the session (most of it will be in your kitchen, but some you might need to purchase in advance (mainly the right chocolate).
I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have and will tailor made the session for your to make sure you get the most from your day.
Notes about the sessions timings
The 3 & 4.5 hrs sessions exclude breaks, which are then added on. This normally means that 3 hrs session includes 15 min refreshment/comfort break (or if you need to set up extra ingredients, equipment), so the session is in fact 3hrs 15-20 min long. The 4,5 hr session can be split into 90 min session with 10 min break (or as needed), so it’s about 5 hrs in actual time.
Student’s feedback
‘Thank you so much Magdalena for taking the time to explain how to temper chocolate properly. I knew I was going wrong somewhere, but I couldn’t quite work out where I was making mistake. I was a little unsure about booking, because I wasn’t sure how all this internet learning was going to work, but I have to say that it was like you were with me in my own kitchen! I’ve made some more chocolate since our session and my family really loved the rosemary infused dark chocolate we made together.’
