Chocolate Day!!

One of my birthday presents last year was a Chocolate Workshop and yesterday I went along with my friend Charlol for the experience. We went to The Queens Club in London. We began with a short talk about chocolate and a white chocolate fountain. We were then guided step by step through the truffle making process.
First we mixed cream and chocolate to make the ganache for the centres.Step two was piping the ganache into long sausage shapes.Trying to make the truffles into perfect spheres was difficult for those of us with 'hot hands'! It just kept melting!!
We finally covered our truffles with chocolate and rolled them in the trays of toppings.  (This was the messy bit - hands dunked in chocolate!)
We finished off by packing our lovely truffles in cellophane topped off with a ribbon!! Ta da!!

It was a lovely afternoon, so thanks to the Burrages and Ahmeds for a great present!

Now that is the kind of day my sister would love.

Did you eat many during the making? looks like you had a lot of fun.
