Engage your senses and savor the moment at chocolate making classes in Oakland, where you’ll learn how to create one of the world’s most celebrated sweets. Become a master chocolatier and make your own treats and truffles using quality ingredients from around the world. Smooth, sweet, and seriously sumptuous – there’s no better feeling than when a piece of chocolate hits your tongue, so get ready to discover the basics of making chocolate and indulge with your friends or teammates for an afternoon of cacao-fueled fun. Celebrate your next birthday party, celebrate your anniversary, or indulge in a delicious team building activity. Bon appétit!
When it comes to finding things to do in Oakland, heading along to a locally-run workshop is as original as it gets. Rather than spending the night nibbling on truffles in front of the TV, book into a hands-on class near you and learn how to make chocolate for yourself!
Suitable for total beginners, cacao connoisseurs, and anyone with a sweet tooth, our chocolate classes are the best way to increase your appreciation of the finer things in life while experiencing something totally new with your crew.
Rather than gifting your friend a box of sweets for their 30th birthday, why not book into a group class and learn how to make chocolate together? This unique birthday party idea is unforgettable, fun, and of course, a total feast for the senses. Similarly, consider a workshop for your next team bonding activity and celebrate your work wins with some quality confectionery.
Throughout the class, your experienced teacher will show you all there is to know about chocolate making and equip you with the knowledge you need to make your own tantalizing treats. Whether you’re a fan of Willy Wonka-style milk chocolate or you prefer your dessert with a little more bitterness and bite, our local chocolatiers will tailor your experience to suit your preferences and dietary requirements.
While you’ll no doubt don your apron and chef’s hat during the class, workshops in Oakland take place in a group setting that’s relaxed, warm, and welcoming. So rest assured, you don’t need any cooking, creating or chocolate making experience!
Classes are active and hands-on, which means that everyone will get plenty of time at the bench making their own chocolate, so come prepared to get a little messy.
You'll learn how to make a range of chocolates using a variety of different ingredients, colors, shapes and even textures to get the most out of the experience. You'll also receive personalized advice on how you can recreate your favorite treats at home, regardless of whether or not you own the equipment necessary to make your own chocolate.
Our friendly and experienced teachers are experts in the field and each bring a unique perspective from their own experiences in the industry. Come prepped with plenty of questions to ask and get ready to be inspired by the magic of chocolate making as you discover its origins in Mesoamerica to the modern-day streets of California’s Bay Area.
Chocolate making is also a fun and memorable way to mark a significant occasion, whether that’s a 40th birthday, a bachelorette night or team building activities with your colleagues.
Feeling frazzled? Switch off for a few hours and take yourself on a culinary journey through the chocolate making process. Learn to temper and taste-test your own DIY sweets using expert techniques that you’ll pick up from our master chocolatiers. If you’re looking for things to do this weekend, why not melt and mold your own mouthwatering truffles and watch the troubles of the day melt away? Embark on a totally unique date night in Oakland, connect with your colleagues or celebrate a birthday as you discover this renowned culinary art. We guarantee you’ll make sweet memories that you’ll savor for years to come.
