CamberwellOz Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Just opened up on Bellenden Road by a lovely French woman. Bought some of the hand made chocolate (made by the lovely lady herself) yesterday and I must say it is delicous. The shop is called The Melange. She is going to do a chocolate making course coming up next week and it is only ?15 AND you get to take home everything you make. I'm keen.

bon3yard Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 That sounds great, where do I sign up? Hope the food was good last time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellenden Belle Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yes - I was in there yesterday and tried some absolutely divine dark chocolate. The owner was lovely - I really wish them the best of luck.I do think it's quite brave to open such a shop on Bellenden Road at the present time.... it didn't surprise me to see that Bayberry on Bellenden Road has closed with a notice saying the Landlord has taken possession...

CamberwellOz Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 They have a course on the 14th at 6pm and the 18th at 2pm. I'm happy to go to either if you are keen Mike. At ?15, I think it is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamberwellOz Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'll pop round today and find out. SO excited. Is the 18th ok for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bon3yard Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Should be fine. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I wish I was free. Would it be too much to ask if you could find out if they are planning any more courses? ?15.00 is a bargain. I have been on one before at La Maison du Chocolat in Piccadilly and it was around ?50.00 but you did not make anything, just listened and tasted (a very small amout) after the talk - which actually was in French with a translater!

lenster Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I normally only lurk on the forum, but thought would drop a quick note to say I've just been to the chocolate making course at The Melange and had a fabulously messy time making my own chocolates. The owner is lovely and I wish them all the best with the new shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
