Ultimate Chocolate Treats at Shermay's

I have been looking forward to going back to Shermay's again for some workshops. When I saw what was going to be demonstrated for the Ultimate Chocolate Treats II by Chef Joycelyn, without hesitation, I signed up for the course for today. Actually what really interest me was the Truffles au Chocolat. In my past few post, I mentioned about having Royce chocolates. The Truffles looked very much like Royce chocolate, and I had wanting to know how to make similar taste to the Royce. Indeed, it wasn't disappointing to attend this workshop and see how Chef Joycelyn did it.

Everything she did, made it looked rather simple. In actual, I knew it wasn't that simple to make. The goodies that she made today were really sinful, but really good. She told us that she had attempted 13th times to get the right recipe for her nutella cupcakes, before she finally got it right on the 14th attempt. I do agree that so far, I've seen and even tried one nutella recipe, that does not really bring out the nutella taste. I thought nutella might not really be bakeable. So now I know, there are really a lot of nutella fans out there, including Chef Joycelyn!


Besides the four recipes that she made, she also gave us some variations of the truffles, shortbreads and biscottis. She was really very generous with her sharings and experience and tips. I enjoyed her class, though it was pretty short. At the end of the class, we got to bring back the cupcake, biscotti and chocolate cookie. The truffle was taken during the workshop.
