Today, getting married isn’t just about the wedding ceremony. There can be multiple celebrations, such as engagement parties, bachelorette parties and bridal showers. A bridal shower is a gathering to celebrate the bride-to-be, much in the same way as a baby shower celebrates the imminent arrival of the baby. Traditionally, the guests bring gifts to help the married couple to set up home, but the gifts can also include personal items such as jewellery. There will also be games and a brunch or lunch, and the bride will often give out a small gift to the guests as a thank you for attending.

Chocolate is a popular sweet treat derived from cocoa beans, which grow in the fruit of cacao trees near the equator, in Central and South America and Africa. On average, we eat about three million tonnes of these beans in the form of chocolate. To make the commercial chocolate we enjoy today, these beans are shelled before being fermented (to develop flavour) and dried out (to develop colour), then roasted. The roasting process produces cocoa nibs, which are then ground down into cocoa mass, or chocolate liquor. Finally, this aromatic chocolate liquor is combined with other ingredients, including sugar, milk, and lecithin. But did you know that some types of chocolate also contain caffeine?

When you buy high-quality chocolates you may notice the beautiful shine that they have and the crisp snap when you bite into them. This cannot be achieved by just melting chocolate and hoping for the best. To get the best result, it has to be properly tempered. Tempering is an advanced technique and it can take some time to master the skill and concentration that it takes to do it perfectly. Once mastered, being able to temper chocolate means that any chocolates or sweet treats that you create will look professional and very tempting!
