Chef Christophe showing a student how to shape macaron shells onto a baking tray in the shop kitchen

West Ashley · Two Saturdays a month

Make chocolate with Chef Christophe

A hands-on class with a third-generation chocolatier from Toulouse. Macarons on the second Saturday of the month, hand-painted chocolates on the last. No experience needed — you work with the same chocolate we use in the shop, and take home what you make.

The next few Saturdays

One subject per class. Macarons on the second Saturday of the month, chocolates on the last — so you always know which you are coming to.

Saturday 31 October

Hand-painted chocolates

The technique the shop is known for — tinted cocoa butter applied to the mould by airbrush or brush, then tempered chocolate, a ganache filling and a final seal. You take home what you make.

Group class

Saturdays

$65per person

Two Saturdays a month, 3pm – 5pm. Up to twenty people.

A full class taught start to finish by Chef Christophe. Book one seat or several — you share the bench with whoever else booked that week.

BYOB — bring your own champagne or wine, for either format. A group class seats up to 20. 18+ only — our classes work with hot sugar and tempered chocolate, so they are not suitable for children.

Private classes

Book the class for your own party and nobody else can join it. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 3pm – 5pm, and you choose the subject. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, team events and corporate groups.

or call (843) 225-9133

Nothing is booked and nothing is charged by sending this — Christophe will reply and work the details out with you.
