CHOCOLATE COURSES & CUSTOM CAKE orders

 Choco La-de-dah was started back in 2018 after I completed a course with Master Chocolatier Mark Tilling. This course taught me how to make creative, delicious chocolate products that were unique, innovative and fun.

After attending further courses, this inspired me to be more imaginative in creating chocolates that focus on different flavours, textures and colours.

 I began by making truffles, chocolates, bars, honeycomb, nibbles etc using quality Belgian Chocolate, no artificial flavourings or preserving alcohol and selling them at events such as Powderham Food Festival, Exeter Chocolate Festival and food markets. Alongside doing this I also made custom cakes which can be seen in the gallery. Covid then happened which stopped events in their tracks. After some thought and missing chocolate I have decided to share my passion and skills with others by running courses from my fabulous kitchen at home near Sidmouth. 

I have a strong vision that my courses will be fun, easy to follow, useful and attendees will be inspired to create their own vision of chocolate making and leave with chocolate goodies that have the wow factor! 

I hold a 5* rating from EDDC and the relevant food, health and hygiene certificate.

I believe that the best chocolate comes from the best ingredients. I use Belgian Chocolate as it is tasty, stable and affordable.  I am a believer in avoiding artificial flavourings and preservatives. The shelf life is shorter but the taste is far superior. My main staples apart from the Belgian Chocolate are cream, brown sugar, butter and natural flavourings. During the course attendees will have the opportunity to choose which flavours they prefer. I will not be limiting choices to the mundane. There will be dark, milk, white chocolate, ganache, fruit puree flavours, fudge, caramel, dried fruit and nuts just to name a few. A Muscovado and orange juice caramel is to die for!
