A Taste of a Career: Chocolate Craft Workshop

Everyone is invited to this tasty opportunity to learn how you can turn creative passion into a profession. Participants will learn, create, and connect, while having fun and preparing confections to take home.

We will tour Chocolate Man, a chocolate company dedicated to creating exceptional, hand-crafted chocolates that showcase their passion for the art of chocolate making. Their specialty is crafting the finest truffles, molded chocolates, and unique house-made confections, all made with the highest quality ingredients and expert care.

Becoming a chocolatier is for some the joy of working with chocolate; for others, the chance to build a business around creativity. Chocolatiers often work independently, crafting small batches of chocolate with precision.

Workshop participants will 

  • Uncover the path to success as a chocolatier and small business operator, including education and training. 
  • Practice working directly with a professional chocolatier and ask questions.
  • Create chocolate creations like Chocolate Pizza and Truffles.
  • Learn about careers that are creative and hands-on. 
  • Discover how passion can become a profession and how to run a chocolate business 

Register now to be a part of this rare opportunity to learn, create, connect, and have a little fun. Plus, you’ll get to take home something delicious!
