Father Christmas Course

In anticipation of Christmas, and especially on Samichlaus Day, a chocolate Samichlaus is simply a must. Would you like to combine a very special experience with this magical pre-Christmas season this year? In our Father Christmas course you will learn from real chocolatiers how to cast a chocolate Christmas figure yourself.

This course is suitable for adults and children from the age of 8. Each participant will make their own chocolate Christmas figure (Father Christmas, reindeer, snowman or a Santa boot) and will also make 14 truffles with different fillings.

Please note that participation is only possible for registered persons. Accompanying persons are not permitted on this course.

Father Christmas Course - Procedure

The experienced course leader shows you how to prepare and polish a professional chocolate mould so that the chocolate gets its unmistakable shine. Next, you will learn how to make up the mould with different chocolates in our Father Christmas course.

There are white, dark, milk and even red coloured chocolates to choose from, so there's something for everyone. After decorating your own chocolate figurine, now comes the best part - pouring your favourite chocolate into the chocolate mould.

While your chocolate figurine is cooling in the fridge, our instructor will show you how to fill 14 truffles (pralines) with different fillings and later coat them with liquid chocolate before covering them with different sprinkled decorations.

Later, the finished chocolate figure is carefully released from the mould and beautifully wrapped. All those who have chosen a boot as their chocolate mould can now fill it, for example, with the truffles they have made themselves. This course is fun for young and old and a great family experience for the Christmas season.

Due to time constraints, we do not cover the professional tempering of the couverture. If you are interested in tempering couverture, we recommend that you attend our couverture tempering course.
