Christ Church URC.
164 New London Road, Chelmsford CM2 0AW.

Time: 7pm with a 7.30pm start.

Everyone welcome so please come and join us.

Well that was a brilliant Christmas meeting last night! Huge thanks to Jan Chandler showing us, very clearly, how to use the chocolate 3D FEST moulds. How quickly you can make and then use the chocolate mould. How to place hot chocolate, marshmallows, sweets etc inside and to seal the edges - she bought along her pancake/crepe electric pan to do this. Lots of questions were asked and answered too. See photo’s at end.

Tempered chocolate from S&C was used as well as showing how to temper chocolate properly. To be honest the taste between both lots of chocolate you couldn’t tell which was which. Both were delicious and the shine on both was superb. We were then encouraged to “have a go”.

A wonderful informative demonstration in which we learnt far more in “real life” than a Zoom class. Many thanks again Jan Chandler.

To round off our Christmas meeting we had pots of cream, jam and home made fruit scones by Melanie Ferris, gluten free members were looked after too.

Thank you to the members and visitors who came along.

Wishing all our members a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. Enjoy, have fun, stay safe.

See you next year, 11th January, 2022. Our demonstrator will be Alison Henderson with a Royal Icing demonstration.
