Courses in Zurich - Adliswil

Chocolate and baking classes in Zurich take place at our venue in Adliswil, around 20 minutes from Zurich main station. In our course rooms at Webereistrasse 55/56 you learn how to make glossy pralines, crusty bread and light macarons, guided by professional confectioners, pastry chefs and bakers. Our shop at Webereistrasse 55 is right there too, so after your course you can take the ingredients you need straight home.

Chocolate making class in Zurich-Adliswil

Chocolate is where we started: miniSchoggi began by making personalised pralines. Today the range goes from the praline atelier, where you fill and decorate your own chocolates, to the advanced praline course. On the couverture tempering course you learn several methods for glossy chocolate with a clean snap. The Bean to Bar course takes you all the way from cocoa bean to bar, and before Christmas you can cast your own chocolate St Nicholas. All topics are listed under Chocolate courses.

A tip from our kitchen: if you would like to practise before your course, read our guide Tempering couverture and chocolate correctly. On the course, your course leader then shows you how properly tempered couverture behaves – something you learn best with your own hands.

Baking classes in Zurich-Adliswil: bread, patisserie and cakes

If you prefer working with dough, you can choose between bread and patisserie. On the Zopf course you plait the classic Swiss Sunday loaf, the pretzel course covers lye-dipped pretzels and rolls, and on the croissant course you learn how butter and dough turn into fine layers. Yeast pastry and puff pastry courses complete the range – see Bread courses and Baking courses.

Patisserie fans will find courses for macarons, éclairs, choux au craquelin, cream slices and Swiss chocolate kisses. Macarons and éclairs become much easier once you have seen what the mixture should look like when you pipe it. For cakes, start with cake basics 1 and build on it with cake basics 2, cake decorating or buttercream flowers.
