Ready to make this holiday season extra sweet? Join this confectionery-making class in New York City, where teens create three classic, elegant treats from scratch.
Guided step by step by friendly instructors, teens will master chocolate molding, layered confection techniques, preserve-making, and festive packaging. You’ll start by tempering rich dark, milk, and white chocolate and using specialized molds to craft nut-filled candies like peanuts, almonds, and walnuts. Next, you’ll layer smooth dark and white chocolate to create peppermint bark, then top it with crunchy crushed candy canes. Then you’ll simmer fresh pear, cranberries, and seasonal spices into a vibrant jar of homemade Christmas jam!
To finish, you’ll package your chocolates, bark, and glass mason jars with baker’s twine, ribbons, and decorative gift tags for a polished, bakery-style look. Perfect for teens looking for a creative afternoon with friends, fun things to do in NYC for the holidays, or need some handmade gift ideas. Your gift exchange just got a whole lot sweeter!
Please note:
Our teens class is designed specifically for teens aged 12–17!
