Chocolate Art: Valentine's Edition
Food & Drink

Valentine’s Day and chocolate have been intertwined since Richard Cadbury introduced his famous heart-shaped box for the day of love in 1868. Craft your own detailed and delicious chocolates for your special someone as you learn all about chocolate. We’ll cover its cacao bean origins and ethical issues related to sourcing; the science behind and various methods of tempering; casting, sculpting, carving, and coloring techniques; and how to properly store chocolate and prevent blooming. This sweet class is for you, whether you’re interested in improving your confectionery skills, would like to give chocolate art a whirl, just want to indulge your sweetheart, or have more of an academic interest in the topic.

The bakeries in Chinatown are filled with the mouth-watering aromas of freshly baked buns and pastries. Join us to recreate three Chinatown bakery favorites.

Scotch: Sources of Flavor
Food & Drink

Why does scotch taste so good and how do different whiskies taste so different? We will explore the different flavors in whisky by considering their source. Many whiskies are aged in barrels previously used to make sherry, bourbon, port, or even rum. Together, we will try the different sources of scotch’s distinctive flavors and then try the scotch that results from each. Light snacks will be offered.
