Taste DC & Us
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007We have been doing classes with TasteDC since we started late last year. Charlie became a close business partner and we are continuing to educate people through him about fine chocolate from all the world and how to work with it. Our next class is on July 18th and I think it is already sold out (call to make sure if interested!). We usually try out new things and flavors to see how people like them and to have some fun from the ordinary. A snippet from our next class:
- -Lavender Truffles
- -Vanilla Ice Cream with Orange Scented Chocolate Sauce
- -Spiked Iced Chocolate with Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- -Strawberry-Basil White Chocolate Fondue
- -Quick Chocolate Whiskey Cake
In our October class we will be making a Rum-Raisin praline, ‘Wanders-Pharisaer’ (a drink featured in a book this summer - have to look after the publishing date — anyways, delicious stuff), White Chocolate Eggnog Fondue and Mulled Wine Pate de Fruit.
Now, if that doesn’t wake the spirit for christmas, I don’t know what does 
Oh, for everyone wondering how it is to be a chocolatier, you may find out with a special class though TasteDC in our production facility - you get to play with chocolate ALL DAY long. And you actually make fine confections (thats what I meant by ‘play’) to take home …
And something completely different: Chocolatier - the computer game. I kid you not You can download a free trial too - I haven’t tried it yet and probably won’t (time flies!) but you can give it try here.
