About this collection
Chocolate is temperamental. One degree off and your ganache loses that signature snap. In our workshops, we do not just watch. You will work with professional tools like digital thermometers and marble slabs to master the science behind the shine. Whether you are aiming for a glossy bonbon shell or a perfectly stable chocolate sculpture, you will leave knowing exactly how to handle Callebaut chocolate like the pros.
Beyond the Melting Pot
Chocolate is chemistry. At Lavonne, we strip away the guesswork. You start with the fundamentals: understanding cacao percentages, the importance of tempering, and why humidity is your worst enemy in a tropical climate like India.
What We Cover
Whether you are a home baker or looking to pivot into a professional career, our chocolate modules are designed for all levels:
- The Basics: Learn tempering techniques (seeding method vs. tabling), how to prevent bloom, and the art of making a silky-smooth whipped ganache.
- Artisanal Bonbons: Understand the molding process, using polycarbonate molds, creating emulsions for fillings, and mastering the capping step.
- Chocolate Sculptures: For the advanced student, we move into structural work—how to build stability, using cocoa butter sprays, and balancing aesthetic with taste.
We use high-end Callebaut couverture in all our sessions. You are not learning on compound; you are learning on real chocolate. You will spend your time at individual workstations equipped with KitchenAid mixers and professional-grade thermometers, ensuring your creations have that satisfying snap and glossy finish.
Join the Family
We have seen students come in nervous and leave with the confidence to run their own chocolate businesses. If you are based in Bangalore (Bellandur/Domlur) or New Delhi (Lajpat Nagar), drop by. Come for the techniques, stay for the dhol beats and the Lavonne family vibe. Let’s make something delicious together.
