Enjoyment of Self-Made Delicacies

If savouring chocolates is already soooo irresistible, guess what can top that?

Heavenly, devilishly good, melt-in-your-mouth, hand-made CHOCOLATES!!!

About a month back, I attended a Chocolate Workshop by the chocolatiers, Sushan Innocreation. I find it interesting because I guess, there’s plenty of stores out there selling chocolates but there aren't many that gives us the opportunity to make one ourselves. 

That's me there! Excited to start the Chocolate Workshop.

Curious of the chocolate making process, I step foot to the workshop only to be amazed by the outcome of my very own chocolate making skills.

Melting the chocolates!

Piping some milk chocolate.

As I expected, it had a huge impact on me.

I was very happy to learn and make chocolates as it made me appreciate all the chocolate makers out there for their incredible job! However, it also took another criteria to be head-over-heels with this Chocolate Workshop.

Learning from the pro - Priya, the chocolatier of Sushan Innocreation.

It was the part where it turned me into a kid! A very excited one, I would have to add.

I even skipped the lunch break just to complete the designs on my chocolates. It was a wonderful feeling of wanting the very best for what I was currently doing at that moment - even if that thing was making chocolates!

Time to showcase my creativity!

I guess, we adults, have too much multitasking to do that we forgot to appreciate the very thing that we are doing at that moment. The constant urge to switch the mind from one matter to the other can be tiring at times.  

Anyway, this kid in me was having so much fun and it made me feel different about art and creativity. Different in a good way, of course! 

We all came out with so many creative designs for our chocolates that we didn't even notice it was almost the end of the workshop. 

And this was the amazing part! Everyone just focused on doing their best. Nobody had expectation of one another because it was the FIRST TIME we were making chocolates.

Creativity was seen in a total different level even when some chocolates did not turn out well. Some of us named our chocolates after movie characters while some had a long story after their not-so-good-attempt of designing their chocolates. 

My designed chocolates! After lots of patience and hardwork.

And here’s the thing that hit me recently. I had a chat with a bunch of friends and I was asked, “So what if you now know how to make chocolates?”
 
That got me blank. 

Then, it came to me. Two things came to me.

1. I now have a new title. Being able to make chocolates makes me a CHOCOLATIER!

2. However much you buy chocolates out there and enjoy the sweet delicacies, nothing, I mean, nothing can ever replace the feeling of making your very own chocolates and giving it to your loved ones. I think the simple feedback of “Nice” or “Delicious” from them is simply out of this world.


And guess what, as I’m typing this right now, I’m enjoying my deliciously self-made chocolate!
