Recent reviews of Ultimate Chocolate Making Class

• 5/5 from Cherie Richey-Lowe, attended Oct 2026: An unforgettable experience — a little magic in a chocolate factory! Some experiences are simply enjoyable, while others become treasured threads woven into the tapestry of our lives. This was most definitely one of the latter. Joseph is a true master of his craft, and it was an absolute privilege to have him share the secrets and artistry of chocolate making with us. His knowledge and skill were extraordinary, but equally impressive was his warmth, patience and wonderful ability to make even the most intricate techniques understandable. And what a delightful challenge we must have been! A room full of enthusiastic adults behaving like excited children let loose in a chocolate factory! Yet Joseph guided us all with good humour, generosity and an infectious passion for his craft. We came away with far more than delicious chocolates and new skills. We left with wonderful memories, a greater appreciation of the art of chocolate making and that lovely feeling of having experienced something genuinely special. A heartfelt thank you, Joseph. Your class wasn't simply something we attended; it became a beautiful little chapter in our lives. An experience I will remember with enormous fondness and recommend wholeheartedly.
• 5/5 from Jessica Millington, attended Oct 2026: I had a great time in Joseph’s Ultimate Chocolate making class. We made lots of chocolates to take home and could choose the flavour of the toppings and ganache fillings. Jospeh was patient, knowledgeable, instructive and generous. The class size was excellent (7 people in my class) and the venue was a good size and well located. It was a relaxed and enjoyable way to start my weekend. Would highly recommend.
• 5/5 from Julie Tonowicz, attended Sep 2026: Joseph is the most wonderful host and teacher. We laughed, learned and got very messy! Such simple ingredients creating so much pleasure. Recommend for a group.
• 5/5 from Mary Papantoniou, attended Aug 2026: I absolutely loved this chocolate making class. It’s a lot of fun and very delicious. Joseph is a great teacher who makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything in a really easy way to understand. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to make chocolates and wants a fun day out.
• 5/5 from Antoinette Trimble, attended Jul 2026: An extraordinary chocolate experience! Joseph was a very engaging and knowledgeable teacher with great patience and rapport. We learnt lots of new skills and practical tips and tricks that we can put into practice at home. We took home a generous box of our own handmade chocolates. Would highly recommend this course. Great for all ages. It was a memorable experience for my mother, myself my daughter.
• 5/5 from Joseph Samarasinghe, attended Jun 2026: Abusloty fantastic and delicious. Very professional and well explained. What a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Thank you very much.
• 5/5 from Ziad Sari, attended Jun 2026: Our instructor, a classically trained chocolatier with a serious passion for ganache, made the science of tempering look like effortless magic. The class began with a simple, intimidating truth: ganache is only as good as the chemistry between your chocolate and your cream. Our instructor, a pastry wizard named Joseph, didnt just give us a recipe; he turned the process into a masterclass.Leaving the studio with a box of my own chocolates, I felt less like a home cook and more like an alchemist.
• 5/5 from Nadia Sari, attended Jun 2026: This is the ideal experience for chocolate lovers. If you’re looking for a meditative, sensory-heavy experience that results in an edible souvenir, this is it. Just a word of advice: don't wear white, and don't expect your ganache to look like the ones in the display case. They'd look better. They’ll taste better, because you earned them. Rating: 5/5 stars and one very happy chocolate lover

• 5/5 from Mick Steele, attended May 2026: This was a great class. Joseph and Yvonne were very welcoming and Joseph was very knowledgable and provided easy too understand instructions for the course. The end result chocolates were amazing! Highly recommended to those with a sweet tooth.
• 3/5 from Claire Eleanor Donoghue, attended May 2026: The class was fun but I was disappointed that the duration was only 2.5 hours rather than the advertised 4 hours. I had expected to cover a bit more in the class.

• 5/5 from Mitchell Guldemond, attended Nov 2025: The class was a great fun and both Joseph & Jovana (sorry if I got that spelling wrong) were very friendly and informative. This class actually had a good amount of theory too which talks in detail about the exact methods required to create the perfect choclate and the mistakes people make. Really with this class you can now go and start your own Chcolate store! But overall was very fun and now we have a lot of great chcolate to last us!

• 2/5 from Robin Andrew Imms, attended Nov 2024: I generally don't give negative feedback but I feel it may be of benefit for future classes. Both Joseph & Yvonnne were lovely people but i feel the class itself was very lacking in detail and class like instruction. I feel the teacher did not explain many things very well and didnt allow students enough hands on involement like when molding and scraping the mold trays. He did most of it himself. I did however, learn a couple of things that I didnt know before so all was not lost. The class presentation itself i felt was below par and there was not enough equipment to go round. Too much free time for students whilst teacher attended only 2 students at a time and the rest of us were left alone until it was our turn. I feel that there was probably only about 40mins worth of teaching instruction spread throughout the whole day. We learned how to make a ganache and dip them in melted chocolate. There was only time for 1 batch of molded chocolate and we only used the ganache we made at the beginning. I guess I was expecting to have more instruction on the types of different fillings that can be used and other techniques because the title of the class was the Ultimate Chocolate Making Class and we only learned 2 techniques. I had too high an expectation as I obviously didnt read the blub on the class (we did everything mentioned there) on your website. The teacher told us that if we emailed him he would send the class instruction notes to us by email. I feel these should have been provided on the day. Needless to say that i was dissapointed with my experience.
• 5/5 from Catherine Curtis, attended Oct 2024: I thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate workshop which expanded my knowledge of all things chocolate Joseph is entertaining and patient as he shares his skills. I would recommend this class, the chocolates were delicious too
• 5/5 from Emilly Walters, attended Oct 2024: This is definitely an informative class. Joseph and Yvonne are lovely people and Joseph is a brilliant teacher. He is obviously passionate and excited about what he does. You make a lot in a short time and for a large class you still feel very included. Value you for money wise, this was an excellent experience. It was fun informative and the bonus of taking home what we made. Also the rosewater hot chocolate was incredible. My only suggestion at the start be mindful of the flavour you choose as there is a lot of it at the end. So avoid a flavour you will get sick of quickly.
• 5/5 from David Spackman, attended Oct 2024: Class was bought as a birthday present great day of chocolate making. Looking forward to practising at home. So much chocolate! Joseph and Yvonne are a great team.
• 5/5 from Nicole Irvine, attended Sep 2024: What a fun class. Informative and delicious. Would recommend. Joseph is a fantastic teacher. 10 out of 10
• 5/5 from Sunny Jung, attended Aug 2024: Joseph is funny and knowledgeable. My partner and I learnt a lot and enjoyed the whole process! The ganache is delish my god. I made coffee chilli choccies and he made an orange cognac one - never a fan of orange choc but damn it was tasty. Generous amount of chocs to bring home also. Cheers guys :)
• 5/5 from Melanie Magpayo, attended Jul 2024: You get to choose the flavouring of your chocolate. I chose Raspberry and it was delicious. They also provided Turkish coffee and hot chocolate (although I am not sure if they do this for all groups). Everything was delicious and taking home our chocolates to eat was the best part. He said it can last up to 6 weeks but mine were so nice I ate them all in a day. The guy who runs the course is a very nice friendly guy.
• 5/5 from Monica Cable, attended Jul 2024: This was a really fun and instructive class and I had a great time! Joseph was a wonderful teacher and we ended up with a box full of the most delicious "self-handmade" chocolates! I recommend this class very highly.
• 5/5 from Cynthia Tang, attended May 2024: Venue was the perfect size for the class, all materials provided even if you don’t have an apron they have some for you to use on the day. Joseph was a great teacher, very easy going and kind! He showed us how to make ganache, and tempered chocolate and gave everyone guidance and the time to be hands on in their chocolate creations. My sweet tooth was definitely satisfied and I left with two boxes of chocolate!

• 5/5 from Jenny Wu, attended Mar 2024: Bought this as an experience for me and my chocaholic dad and it was a HUGE SUCCESS. We learnt a great deal about the different flavours of chocolate, how to make our own ganache, how to pour them into moulds, got some chocolate dipped strawberries, and more.
