New Chocolate Shop

[CamberwellOz]

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.

That sounds great, where do I sign up? Hope the food was good last time. :)

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]

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.

Deffo. Count me in. Do we just turn up on the day?

OMG A chocolate shop within walking distance.

It really does "just keep getting better and better".

[CamberwellOz]

I'll pop round today and find out. SO excited. Is the 18th ok for you?

[bon3yard]

Should be fine. :))

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!

Looks like it's not actually ?15...

[bon3yard]

See what you mean Jeremy. I still think its not a bad price. I'm still willing if you are Michelle.

[CamberwellOz]

Ah this is the introductory special only on this week :)) I've sent them an email and I'll pop round this afternoon.

[CamberwellOz]

Booked us in for the 18th at 2pm. Pay on the day.

[bon3yard]

Lovely, seeya then. This weeks menus up if your that way inclined. :))

oh god... so much temptation what with Anna's cakes and the chocolate shop within a few minutes walk from me!

[Jeremy]

Where is the cake shop? I've walked down the length of Bellenden road in search of this cake shop, and not seen it...

[cate]

Cakes are only there on Saturday, near Casa. She also bakes for the cafe round the corner.

[Jeremy]

What is the name of this shop, which sells these cakes on a Saturday only?

[tiddles]

sorry, so is it ?15 as an introductory special or ?35? I rather fancy a go at this!

[CamberwellOz]

The leaflet I was given on Saturday said ?15 for the first two sessions. I have mentioned the dates up above.

It is called Let Them Eat Cake. They have a sign outside. Right next door to Casa, the reclamation place. Near junction of Maxted and Bellenden.

I go past it all the time... I must be blind! Will have another look on the weekend, thanks.

[tibby]

the shop that bakes cakes is two doors away from car hi/fi shop

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.

Three more sleeps!! (Can you tell I don't get out much)
