Kids Chocolate Workshop (Private Groups)

Perfect for kids birthday parties



10 to 16 years     2 hours Class size 10 to 15     label $90

A fun hands-on class where you'll learn to make chocolates, in a real chocolate factory. This class is only for private groups!

The children will experience the magic of creating personalized chocolates with their own hands. This is an ideal party activity as the kids will not only end up with chocolate on their faces but also their own chocolates to take home – if they last that long!

The experience begins with a brief history of chocolate, then a chocolate tasting to taste the difference between compound and couverture chocolate. Then onto the best part - diving into the actual chocolate making! The kids will make their own moulded chocolate, with each child choosing from an array of fun moulds. A special box is given to each chocolate maker so they can package their creations to take home. They'll be guided by our chocolatier, though they'll also have space to indulge their creativity and imagination.

While we wait for the chocolate to set, the kids will be shown how to dip and decorate marshmallows and Turkish Delights. They'll demonstrate their artistic talents with piping bags.

We recommend at least one or two adults to come along to share the joy (of herding the kids, and of the workshop itself ;)). Older kids (eg high school age) will enjoy this class too. The class content and teaching style will be adjusted to suit the age of the participants.

And if you'd like to share a birthday cake during the class, we can make time and space for that too. This class can also be held at a location of your choice (extra fee will apply).

My name is Joseph, and I started Kimberley Chocolates to produce high-quality chocolates in Sydney. I held a BSc in Food Science and wanted to make great chocolate more accessible to our community, including by combining it with flavours like chilli, lemon myrtle, and quandong (Australia's 'native peach'). Kimberley Chocolates won the gold award at the Royal Easter Show Chocolate Competition, and I started to appear in the media more often. People started contacting me to learn more about chocolates, and I realised that there is a great need for chocolate education, and that's where our chocolate workshops started!

But my passions and skills don't just stop at chocolate, I've also spent my fair share of time in perfumeries. I'm qualified in Organic Chemistry and Food Science from the University of NSW and worked for many years with the extraction of oils used for fragrance and food flavouring as well as at Unilever in the laboratory producing and testing perfume. Six years ago, I studied perfumery and with his my newly-refined sense of smell and skills in producing olfactory compositions, I began creating my own perfume. This led to sharing my knowledge and skills with others and three years ago I began running fun, hands-on perfume making classes in Lilyfield. As it is difficult to run classes during COVID-19 the Craft Perfume Box was created to bring the perfume-making experience to your home.

My teaching style is playful and fun, and very hands-on - the more sampling and laughing that happens, the better!

I can not rate the Kids Chocolate Workshop high enough! It was amazing Joseph you were fantastic with the kids and they all had the best day. You truly made my daughters 9th birthday so memorable. From mould making, filling the centre’s, chocolate dipping and the freckle smash, the workshop was so hands on and the chocolate itself was delicious! Not to mention the hot chocolates to wash it all down! Do not hesitate to book this class.

My daughter’s 12th birthday party at Kimberley Chocolates was a great success. The kids enjoyed making their chocolates and freckles and were delighted with being able to take their creations (over 20 of them!) home. Joseph was a lovely and patient host.
