“Karen is amazing! From the moment I arrived to the time I left (she started and finished on time), the whole event was perfect. Karen has a natural talent for sharing her knowledge, making it fun and interesting. She has the patience of a saint and seemed to know when anyone needed a little help - mainly me!
The afternoon whizzed by and I even managed to produce some good looking chocolate! It does not matter whether you are a complete beginner, like me or highly experienced - one lady on the course was an expert cook and yet she found the afternoon interesting and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who can get to Mayford, near Woking in Surrey. Thank you Karen for a wonderful time.”
“Nine out of ten people like chocolate. The tenth person always lies.”

About Us
MEET YOUR TEACHER
I’m Karen. I’ve been baking since I was a teenager, but after leaving a career in education and research in 2020, I retrained and set up my own chocolate making workshops from home. I have now expanded the business to running the workshops out of a professional kitchen in Surrey.
I enjoy passing on my skills through my chocolate making workshops and love seeing the fun that people experience when they learn how to create professional looking chocolates. One of my favourite parts of the course is the chocolate tasting, where people get to really appreciate the taste of good quality chocolate. As many of my past participants have said:
“I will never again be able to eat any other type of chocolate!”
My focus is on teaching people skills that they can replicate when at home. So, I use high quality ingredients that are widely available and equipment that many people have at home or can obtain reasonably cheaply. Once you have got the chocolate bug, you will come back time and time again to learn new and more advanced skills.
