Pidapipo Chocolate-Making Masterclass
Join the gelateria's esteemed Master Chocolatier, as you learn to craft sweet blocks like the best in the business.
Overview
Some of us are happy just snacking on the final product, but if you're keen to learn the chocolate trade, Pidapipo has the perfect session for you. Running from 10am–12pm on Saturday, July 5, in the Fitzroy Laboratorio, the famed gelateria is bringing back its bustling chocolate-making class.
Held over two hours, this hands-on session invites guests to join Pidapipo's Master Chocolatier, Arno Backes. A sweet-treat savant, he'll deepen your understanding of chocolate-making fundamentals, then teach you tempering techniques used by the pros.
Snacking on Pidapipo's single-origin chocolate along the way, your task involves hand-crafting a selection of decadent chocolate pieces. Moulding, filling and shaping as you go, it won't take long to nail the skills needed to level up your next dinner party.
Once the session comes to an end, you'll head home with a Pidapipo chocolate bar, a copy of co-founder Lisa Valmorbida's cookbook, Gelato Eight Days a Week, and your own handmade chocolates bound to impress your pals.
