IMG_8257Hands up who thinks #Chocolate High Heels Next Fashion Accessory is for them to further explore?

“I MADE THIS!”…. I S-Q-U-E-A-L-E-D on the day! Very Happy

With regards to the reaction, WHO could want more? Wink

Courtesy of Anna from the Adelaide Chocolate School, I was S-Q-U-E-A-L-I-N-G with delight experiencing her Chocolate with Style – high heel shoe class.WinkWink

IMG_8208Lucky for me, Anna (and my friends) have experienced the S-Q-U-E-A-L-I-N-G before when I attended Adelaide Wishes Appliances Online a Very Happy 8th Birthday and created this Sunbeam Blender with my friend Helen from Recycled Interiors.
img_6716Before I begin, you might start thinking I have a chocolate fetish “thing” going on with
All You Need is #Souffle (chocolate Wink), Chili Mojo Mexican Chocolate Bit of Olé,
Morish Dark Chocolate Caramel Coated Nut Bowl With…,and These Chocolate Shoes were made for Adelaide Walking (part 1 and 2) to name a few! Wink

Back to the Chocolate with Style – high heel shoe class eh? Wink

No skill or prior chocolate experience was a “bonus” for me!

While I LOVE playing with my food (as you know by now), I have not had a lot of experience melting chocolate and certainly not decorating “elegant,” “chic and stylish” high heels! Shocked

Anna explained the process of what we were about to embark on in “very easy to understand” language and instructions; even the five year old inside me
understood. Laughing

Anna explained about the “purpose built chocolate machines” and how we couldn’t burn our hands on the inserts which can be easily handled and are cooled.
IMG_8207All colors of the chocolate rainbow were prepare for our group prior to our arrival.
IMG_8206Anna must have heard a story or two about how I “may” have burned myself on an occasion or two being curious.

NOTE TO SELF: placing one’s fingers on anything hot WILL result in unpleasant
results! Wink

Anna explained about the moulds our group would be using, the equipment and most importantly the techniques we would need to “create our creations!” Very Happy
IMG_8216 IMG_8215 IMG_8214All items are available for purchase, but all items necessary (chocolate, colorings, moulds, brushes, and decorations) are included in the price of this 2 hours of “fun-filled chocolate adventure!”

It made me FEEL like a child of 5 again!

The Adelaide Chocolate School runs a variety of chocolate courses for “children of all ages” and it is a great venue for kids birthday parties, corporate team-building and or if you are just looking for something “different to do” in Adelaide.

NOTE TO PARENTS:
No mess! No cleaning up afterwards! Children and parents can simply relax, have fun and enjoy! Very Happy

NOTE TO EMPLOYERS:
Adelaide Chocolate School “specializes” in chocolate corporate gifts and can personalize chocolates with your company’s logo that your client’s will remember, appreciate and love! Wink

Adelaide Chocolate School can also “create a range of unique and indulgent chocolates from decadent truffles to solid or filled chocolates, lolly pops, 3D, upright creations and centre pieces.”

I personally think the Adelaide Chocolate School venue is PERFECT for hens nights (who doesn’t like having fun with chocolate? Wink) and it also (in my opinion) is the PERFECT “foodie fun” for tour groups and clubs!

Anna explained to our group how to fill the moulds to wherever our creativity took us!
IMG_8216 IMG_8220 IMG_8221 IMG_8222 IMG_8226Anna explained how we could fill the moulds and see the design from the other side and to not worry if the brushstrokes and or the design did not “look” perfect as it was all about fun and when the chocolate fills the shoe, “magic” occurs in hiding some of the imperfections too! Wink
IMG_8217 IMG_8218Our group could choose white, milk or dark chocolate to fill our “little high heels.”

The designs, techniques (drops, stars, sqiggles to name a few) were left to our unending possibilities of our creative minds!

Let me tell you, our group was indeed VERY creative on the day!

With chocolate poured and secured, off to the fridges for time to “work its magic too!”
IMG_8227 IMG_8228Anna was there with our group “every step of the way” and entertained our questions; SOMEONE asks A LOT of questions; not sure WHO! Laughing

Our group enjoyed chatting about #Chocolate High Heels Next Fashion Accessory and “wondered” if any shoe designers might be interested in our creations!
Heck, you never know WHERE people of all walks of life get inspired from! Wink

With our groups confidence now high, it was time for us to learn HOW we were going to make our HIGH heel shoes as there was going to be a totally different technique! Shocked

Let me share, there is no need to panic, even with no chocolate skills as Anna makes everyone in the group FEEL like we have been doing this “for years!” Very Happy

At this point I felt like our group had a VERY important job ahead of us; to create that glass, um, well, I mean chocolate slipper for Cinderella to wear to the ball! Laughing

Okay, so maybe my creativity and imagination was in overdrive, but still it was fun to see how we would create the high heels of our dreams!

With TWO moulds secured together, our group learned “the dipping process” of not only what and how to do, but how much chocolate was needed to cover the inside and outside and how to get rid of the excess without getting it all over ourselves!
IMG_8229IMG_8230I must admit, this too was heaps of fun and was A LOT easier than I and the others initially thought!

With our color options sorted, Anna explained how we could “glimmer and shimmer”; as this is a G rated blog, I am STILL talking about the chocolate “making and decorating” process too! Laughing

So without further delay, here are some examples of what our group created on the day!
IMG_8232 IMG_8233 IMG_8234 IMG_8235 IMG_8236 IMG_8237 IMG_8239I created this as a tribute to the Winter Olympians utilizing a “snow effect” as well as incorporating one of my favorite Olympic events…the sky-jump; something that I always wanted to do, had the opportunity when I lived in New York, but decided I wanted to see my next birthday too! Laughing
IMG_8243 IMG_8244  IMG_8250 IMG_8252All in all, I LOVED having fun with the #Chocolate High Heels Next Fashion Accessory!

I think I could improve on some of my “cutting and polishing” skills.

My mother used to describe me like “a bull in a china shop” as I don’t have the most delicate of hands and initially I was concerned that I would break through the chocolate as I was moulding and playing with this!

I can HIGHLY recommend this class to one and all; blokes (Aussie lingo for men) too!

It would also be a great class to surprise mum for Mother’s day and have a mother-son bonding day or mother-daughter girl’s day out!
