Come and learn how to make chocolate roses just in time for Valentine’s Day! We will be working with chocolate plastique in dark, milk, and white chocolate and creating three different varieties of roses. Chocolate flowers look great as singles on top of cupcakes or grouped together on larger projects. You can also color the white chocolate to match a theme, and they all taste GREAT! All you will need for this class is a cardboard drink holder, egg carton, or muffin tin to take your work home with you; everything else will be provided.
