Late September and early October, I held 2 cooking classes at the Queen Victoria Market. One was called "Chocolate Overload" and the other "Desperate for Doughnuts". Each class was full with 16 kids and we had lots of fun. I forgot to take many photos, but here are a few to share with you my experience.
Chocolate Overload!
Reviewing the menus and recipes
The chocolate truffles we all made

A take home pack for the participants!
In the chocolate class, we got to make Chocolate pudding which was hot and slightly gooey in the middle. It was accompanied by white smooth chocolate mousse and the lastly the chocolate hazelnut truffles. I think it was a massive overload and we all got to take a few truffles home each.
Desperate for Doughnuts
The class
Show and tell of the sweet potato
Preparing the trays for the sweet potato doughnuts
Piping the creme patissiere into the doughnuts
Making the chocolate sauce to dip the Churros
The frying of the churros and fritters
In the doughnut class, I actually started the class off buying them the jam doughnuts sold at the truck at Queen Victoria Market. Starting the day with sugar, I'm such a great role model!! In this class we made baked sweet potato doughnuts with a custard filling, Churros with chocolate dipping sauce and goat cheese and apple fried fritters drizzled with honey. This class was slightly difficult with the time restraint, but I hope they had fun and all learnt something.
I will be holding another class on 17th January 2012 for kids aged between 11 - 16. The class is "Summer dessert delights". Please go to http://www.qvm.com.au/school_holiday_classes.aspx?event_id=661 for more info.
