Behind the Bar: A Chocolate Tasting & Demonstration

About this event

EVENT IS AT CAPACITY

Join the Cornell Club of Boston for a 75-minute behind-the-scenes chocolate experience at Silver Whisk Bake Shop & Chocolatier in Waltham.

This is a tasting and demonstration experience where you’ll get to watch Silver Whisk chocolatiers make and package their signature chocolate creations while learning more about the craft behind them.

The experience includes: * Tasting of white, milk, blonde, and dark chocolates, to explore how each type differs in flavor and character * Tasting of Silver Whisk's signature and globally inspired chocolate flavors, including Pork floss caramel, Orange sichuan peppercorn, Strawberry pistachio, and more. * A behind-the-scenes demonstration of how Silver Whisk makes their chocolate bars from start to finish: - An introduction to chocolate tempering and why it matters - Demonstrations of molding, finishing, and hand-packaging chocolate bars - Demonstration of how chocolate mendiants are made * A mendiant to taste * A chocolate tile gift to take home * 10% off in-store purchases that day

Please note: This is a demonstration and tasting experience, not a hands on chocolate-making class. Guests will watch the chocolate-making process, taste Silver Whisk creations, and learn about the techniques that are used to make them. For those who are interested, there will be an opportunity to network and mingle with fellow alums after the event at a nearby boba tea shop.
