Why Virtual Chocolate Making Classes Make the Best Experience Gifts

If you’re looking for a present that packs a punch, and a London chocolate making class is a tad too far, our range of online classes and DIY kits is here to help you up your gifting game in a very delicious way! 

Are you searching for an impressive birthday gift with a difference? Maybe you’ve got a special anniversary coming up and you want to treat your loved one to some chocolatey goodness? Perhaps you want to spoil someone special with a unique gift to cheer them up after a tough time? Whether you want to find the perfect way to say, ‘I love you’ or you just want to show how much you care about your mate, swap the shop-bought treats and switch it up with one of our virtual chocolate making gift experiences - we can’t think of a better (or more delicious) way to show your loved one how much you care! Chocolate is always a good idea. By treating your special person to the gift of learning to make it, you'll be providing them with the gift of a skill that just keeps on giving! 

Chocolate or otherwise, experience gifts make a great alternative to material presents; they last longer, they’re better for the environment and they’ll help your loved one make some treasured memories. If your special someone has a craving for candy and you want to make their day that bit sweeter, we’ve got you covered with a great range of online chocolate making classes and virtual courses that will teach them how to make truffles like a pro. From helping them to get creative in the kitchen to giving their social life a boost, we’ve rounded up our top five reasons why chocolate making classes will make the best anniversary or birthday gift you’ve ever given your loved one!

Virtual chocolate making classes are a great alternative to a material gift

Whether you’re looking for ways to celebrate your marvellous Mum on Mother’s Day, if you're searching for a Valentine's gift for her, or if you’re trying to find imaginative ways to say ‘happy birthday’ to a loved one, chocolate making classes will make their special day go with a bang. 

Experience presents are a brilliant alternative when the same old material gifts just don’t cut it anymore, so put down the supermarket flowers and sign your loved one up for chocolate making classes instead. Not only will they learn all the essential skills needed to make delicious handmade chocolate, but they’ll also get to make some wonderful memories - and their new expertise will definitely outlast the use-by date on any shop-bought chocolates!  

A workshop experience is also a more sustainable approach to gift-giving, so it’s great if you’re shopping for an earth-loving eco-warrior. Opt for our vegan truffle kit or a series of classes that teaches them how to make vegan chocolates and they’ll be able to keep up their planet-friendly diet, keep Veganuary going all year long, and still master the art of creative confectionery at home. 

Chocolate making classes will ignite their culinary spark

If you’re shopping for a culinary whizz who wants to expand their skills or just someone with a sweet tooth who is looking for fun things to do at home, a fun and interactive virtual chocolate making workshop will have them getting creative in the kitchen in no time. 

Our online chocolate making classes are led by professional patissiers and expert chefs. With their support, your favourite guy or gal will spend a happy afternoon or evening getting to grips with the fine art of chocolate making, learning everything there is to know about melting, pouring, tempering their way to sweet success. We’ll also send them a beautifully packed craft box directly to their door, filled with all the ingredients they need to take part in the session and whip up some of the tastiest treats around. Once they’ve mastered the basic skills involved in crafting handmade chocolate, they’ll be able to experiment with different flavours and fillings - and you can make sure you’re on hand for the all-important taste test! 

Learning how to make chocolate at home is super relaxing

Switching off and relaxing has never been more important, so whether you’re searching for a brilliant birthday gift or you just want to cheer someone up, cure them of the blues or give them a boost, an online class in chocolate making will help ease their worries, do something different and show them how much you care.

Studies have shown that getting creative and learning new skills are super beneficial to mental wellbeing, so if your loved one has been working hard lately or is feeling burnt out with the pressures of daily life, getting stuck into a confectionery masterclass could be just what they need to recharge their batteries.

They’ll be guided by professional chefs in a live streaming class, so it doesn’t matter if they don’t know their whisk from their wooden spoon - there’ll be no need to stress, as the experts will be on hand to answer any handmade chocolate-related questions. Join in the chocolate making class with them (whether you're in the same household or connecting remotely from afar). During the online class, your loved one will be able to switch off from the world and immerse themselves in the meditative experience of melting and pouring, and they’ll finish the chocolate making class with the confidence boost that comes with mastering new techniques. Plus, they’ll have some pretty tasty treats to relax with once the session is over!

Chocolate making classes are a great social experience 

With the pressures of the modern-day, loneliness and isolation are increasingly common. Over recent years, social distancing, remote working and travel restrictions mean we’re all more separated than ever, but our online classes mean that it’s still easy to connect across the miles - nobody has to spend their special day alone!

Our online chocolate making classes aren’t just great gift experiences for keen chefs and budding bakers - they also make great social occasions when you’re separated from your loved ones, so they’re ideal for a virtual birthday party, hen do or even as a remote team building session at work! Simply grab your nearest and dearest, sign yourselves up, wait for your DIY chocolate making kits to arrive and get your aprons on - you could even create a contest to see who’ll be crowned Confectionery King (or Queen!). Once the online class has finished, you’ll be able to get the kettle on, relax and enjoy your handmade chocolate treats together - perfect!

Online workshops are great for people looking to make new friends as well - our bookable public online classes will connect you with other keen chocolatiers across the country, so you all master the art of learning how to make truffles and homemade chocolate together. Connecting with a group of other chocolate lovers online and sharing a creative experience together is a great way to boost the mood.
