Chef Christophe showing a student how to shape macaron shells onto a baking tray in the shop kitchen

West Ashley · Every Saturday

Make chocolate with Chef Christophe

A hands-on class with a third-generation chocolatier from Toulouse. Macarons one week, hand-painted chocolates the next. No experience needed — you work with the same chocolate we use in the shop, and take home what you make.

The next few Saturdays

One subject per class, and it alternates every week — so a Saturday is either macarons or hand-painted chocolates, never both. The calendar below says which is which. Booking a private class? You pick.

Saturday 19 September

French macarons

Piping, resting and baking the shells, getting the feet right, and making the ganache and buttercream fillings that go between them. You take home what you make.

20 of 20 places left · 3pm – 5pm

Saturday 26 September

Hand-painted chocolates

The technique the shop is known for — tinted cocoa butter applied to the mould by airbrush or brush, then tempered chocolate, a ganache filling and a final seal. You take home what you make.

Two ways to book

Group class

Saturdays

$65per person

Every Saturday, 3pm – 5pm. Up to twenty people.

A full class taught start to finish by Chef Christophe. Book one seat or several — you share the bench with whoever else booked that week.

Private class

Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays

$95per person

Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Your party only.

The class is yours — nobody else can book onto it. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, team events. You choose whether you are making macarons or chocolates.

BYOB — bring your own champagne or wine, for either format. A group class seats up to 20. 18+ only — our classes work with hot sugar and tempered chocolate, so they are not suitable for children.

Private classes

Book the class for your own party and nobody else can join it. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, 3pm – 5pm, and you choose the subject. Birthdays, bachelorette parties, team events and corporate groups.
