Everybody, try to remain calm. The celebration of everybody's favourite sweet, the Festival of Chocolate, is back for the weekend of September 10-11.
Want to see demonstrations by some of pastry's most respected faces? The Callebaut Test Kitchen will be showing off the talents of Black Star Pastry's Christopher Thé and Carlos Heng of Mak Mak Macarons, among others. The Chocolatiers' Quarters will be home a collection of Sydney's best artisan chocolatiers, and artist James Patrick will create a piece of edible choccie art over the two-day festival. There will also be a pop-up patisserie on the MCA lawn called the Lindt Lounge, where you'll be able to stuff your face full of éclairs and create your own personal block of chocolate.
As well as all that there'll be a heap of stalls, covering off all of Sydney's sweet staples like Oregano Bakery, Black Star Pastry's strawberry watermelon cake and rainbow unicorn doughnuts (whatever they are) from My Donut Box.
