Second time I’ve been on course run by the fabulous Ruth Hinks. Made chocolates. Fantastic value for money. Over 100 assorted chocolates. Will visit again.

User

Second class I have attended and would totally recommend it. Ruth is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled and the whole team make you welcome and guide you though the class. You get to take away the most amazing treats. Will be back 👍🏻

My mum, dad and I attended the French Patisserie class yesterday for my mum's birthday. What an enjoyable day! Ruth and her team are so welcoming and friendly. There were only 8 in the class which made it really personal and easy to follow. We came away with 60 cakes between us (all a decent size) and planning our next visit! Highly recommended even if to just pop in for a cake and coffee which are delicious!

User

My husband and I had a fantastic time at the truffles and ganache class yesterday afternoon, very relaxed tuition from Ruth, really wasn't expecting the master to teach the class, we were expecting a minion to be teaching the class, the two girl's were also very friendly and laid back great atmosphere I would recommend the class to everyone. Thank you.

My daughter and I were excited to visit the re-fitted Cocoa Blacks and we were not disappointed! The new decor and furniture is beautiful, it seems so much spacious now too. I was very happy to have a choice of two vegan cakes- went for the lemon drizzle which was delicious! We’ll be back!
