Christmas_Teamevent_Chocolate

Samichlausstiefel filled with fresh truffles as a team event or company occasion

Welcome to the chocolate paradise. Immerse yourself in the world of chocolate and make your own chocolate figure (Samichlausstiefel) and 14 chocolates during the course of the team event. This event is ideal for groups who cannot decide between a chocolate figure casting course and a praline course.

Together with our skilled chocolatiers, you and your team will spend two exciting hours on the subject of chocolate. We will show you how to make up the chocolate figure correctly, brush it with chocolate and finally pour it. After the demonstration, you and your team can put what you have seen into practice.

Before casting the figure, however, you have to prepare the mould. The moulds are polished with kitchen paper to give the chocolate figure the desired shine.

After polishing, the mould is decorated. In technical jargon, this step is called making up the figure. After the make-up is applied, the figure is painted and cast. You can choose from the best Swiss chocolates (couverture) for casting the chocolate figure. You can choose between white, dark or milk chocolate.

While the chocolate figure is cooling down, you will pass the time by making truffles.

Each participant is allowed to make 14 truffles. You can choose from the following fillings for the truffles. A fine champagne filling, a hazelnut or almond filling, a dark orange filling or a vanilla filling. All the praline fillings are homemade and freshly made before each team event. Finally, you can coat the truffles with various decorations such as coconut shavings, cocoa powder, icing sugar, chocolate shavings or Hüppen flakes.

At the end of the two-hour team event, the homemade chocolate creations are beautifully packaged and can be taken home by the participants. As the creations can be personalised, the chocolate makes an excellent Christmas gift.

The aim of the course is for you and your team to take home a self-cast chocolate figure (Father Christmas or boot), as well as 14 homemade truffles.

Are there still questions or uncertainties?

Here you will find an overview of the most frequently asked questions. If you have not found the answer to your question, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone at 044 480 14 14 or by e-mail to events@minischoggi.ch.

After the event, the organiser will receive an invoice by e-mail for the number of people booked, which must be paid within 14 days. Of course, it is also possible to send the payment slip by post on request.

The reason we send an invoice is that we do not have any cash registers on site to do the accounting. In rare cases, we may insist on advance payment or card payment because the invoice z.B. is addressed to a person with a foreign billing address. MiniSchoggi reserves this right at all times. We thank you for your understanding.

Unfortunately, the parking situation in the cities of Zurich and Bern is somewhat difficult and we cannot guarantee parking spaces there, but can only refer you to the parking spaces in the immediate vicinity. Thank you for your understanding.

In Zurich-Adliswil there are dozens of parking spaces along the river Sihl, which are even free of charge at the weekend. You will always find free spaces there. If, contrary to expectations, this is not the case, come up to the restaurant and we will show you where you can find additional parking spaces.

With every booked aperitif offer, we also include orange juice or mineral water with the prosecco for those people who do not wish to or are not allowed to consume alcohol.

The events usually take place at a large table and are therefore seated. Therefore, our event ideas are also very suitable for every person. At the chocolate bar events, on the other hand, you regularly get up, mix the ingredients yourself and pick up the chocolate yourself from the chocolate station. Therefore, standing up and sitting down as well as walking small distances in the room is regularly necessary there. However, if it only affects one person, this is no reason not to organise the event, as our course leader and certainly the other participants will be very happy to help.

At the cupcakes event, we deliberately avoid toppings that would not withstand a longer evening or warm temperatures. Decorations made of fondant, flower paste or royal icing can withstand warmer temperatures well, so it's absolutely no problem.

Chocolate can withstand temperatures of up to 25 °C well without direct sunlight. When storing in warm places, such as in the car or similar, it is advisable to take a cool box or similar with you in the car so that nothing happens.

If the temperatures are warmer, we will provide you with a cool bag for your chocolate creations instead of a normal carrier bag. This will keep them cool for several hours under normal conditions. However, if you are out in the sun for a longer period of time or the temperatures are very high, you can always put a cool drink in the cooler bag so that the chocolate still remains protected. In extremely warm weather (over 30 °C), we organise coolpads so that the chocolate certainly doesn't suffer.

At the cupcakes event, you will receive a special box for transport so that the cupcakes are well protected.

The cookies at the cookies event are packed in nice bags and then in a box so that they are well prepared for transport.

If you are decorating high heels at the event, you will receive a specially made box in which the moulded chocolate bar fits exactly. You attach your high heel to this chocolate bar with the help of some chocolate, so that the shoe is fixed. The shoe is therefore protected in the best possible way for further transport.

On the occasion of the praline team event and the chocolate bar event, you will receive a box for the pralines so that they are well protected and the truffles come in a bag. The bars will also be packed in transparent bags.

At the end of each event, you will receive a carrier bag for transport, which can also be labelled with your name so that there is no confusion.

If you are going to be on the road for a longer period of time, you can store the creations in a locker at the train station, in your car (if you have one) or, if you prefer, we can store the creations for a few days and you can collect them from us later.

The cupcakes have a shelf life of 1 week, although you can also freeze them together with the decoration. This extends the shelf life to 3 months.

The cookies have a shelf life of 8 weeks and can be stored at room temperature away from the sun.

Pralines and truffles can be kept at room temperature, protected from light, for 4 weeks and the chocolate bars and chocolate high heels, for at least 6 months.

You will therefore certainly have enough time to taste your creations or give them to your loved ones as gifts.

We ask that you arrive at your event on time so that the timings work out. If you arrive late, the course management will be forced to shorten the event accordingly. Depending on the day, the event room may be needed again before or after your event. Therefore, we are dependent on the rebuilding and cleaning time. Alternatively, the course management may have other appointments or be off work, so we would be grateful if you could arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the event and leave the room afterwards so that the course management can start cleaning.

A cosy atmosphere is very important to us. Therefore, it is absolutely no problem and does not generate any additional costs if an event should last a little longer, but for the reasons mentioned above we cannot make our rooms available for games or the like.

We thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.

Please notify us of any changes as soon as possible, preferably by e-mail or, in the case of events, within 24 hours by telephone on 044 480 14 14.

Reductions in the number of people: The entire preparation process begins a week before the event and the event rooms are usually set up days in advance, so that only the fresh ingredients and fillings need to be prepared on the day of the event. Therefore, if there is a reduction in the number of people at short notice, we can unfortunately no longer take this into account in the billing. However, we recommend that you still prepare the creations in the group for the person who is unable to attend, usually due to health reasons, so that this person can also enjoy the event at home.

Should the number of persons fall below 6 persons for the two-hour events or below 10 persons for the one-hour events, please still make the quantity for 6 or 10 persons, as we have to invoice this number of persons as a minimum.

Increases in the number of people: In the vast majority of situations, we can implement a short-term increase in the number of people without any problem. In individual cases, however, it may not be possible if z.B. massively more people come or the products are no longer in stock.

Further details on processing and invoicing as well as the exact procedure for events that have already been confirmed, complete cancellations or postponements can be found in detail in the General Terms and Conditions, which will be sent to you with the offer enquiry.
