Practical tips

Where do these workshops take place?

Location:

All activities may be given at any location, this is possible at our permanent premises for up to

30 people in Ardooie, and on site in Belgium, the Netherlands and France

What requirements must the location meet?

There must be the possibility of washing hands with hot water in the vicinity of the location; •

this could be a kitchen that is close to the hall or the sanitary facilities.

In the hall itself we need 1 standard electrical socket•

We need 0.5 m work surface space per participant. These can be standard rectangular •

tables, that we can slide together in long rows

The space should not be oriented to the sun or must have functioning air-conditioning or •

the option to provide sufficient ventilation so that the chocolate doesn’t melt in hot outdoor

temperatures.

Parking must be available and reserved close to the location so that our chefs can easily •

unload and load, if this is a location above ground floor with stairs and without a lift, some

assistance is very much appreciated when loading and unloading.

For the cream pie throwing workshop we also need an outdoor space in addition to the •

indoor space, this could be a football pitch, a city park, a garden or a field. If this is an as-

phalted car park then hot water and a garden hose are obligatory so that we can clean it

afterwards.

An adjoining kitchen is an asset for the Ice cream and Culinary workshop. •

Won’t the location get dirty from all that chocolate?

No, all the tables are covered with plastic film•

Through a briefing and correct guidance from the Chef we guarantee that the work is very •

clean and that no Chocolate will end up on the floor. Because of the way we work we are

still always welcome at beautiful carpeted conference rooms at the Crown Plaza Brussels,

Hilton, Palace on the Meir in Antwerp, and others, very exclusive locations.

The location is left in the same condition as it was on arrival. •

How long in advance will you arrive?

Our chef will arrive about 1 hour beforehand to make all the preparations. •

For large events the timing is discussed in advance. •

After the workshop we need about half an hour to clear the space again. •

Sweets Company was established by Peter Messely in 2004.

The passion for experimenting and chocolate is a constant in Peter’s life. As a patissier, chocolatier,

he enjoyed a specialised training both nationally and internationally. His references speak volumes:

Wittamer (Brussels), Le Nôtre (Paris), Richmond Fachschüle (Lucerne), etc...

Peter’s creativity and desire to experiment with chocolate, flavours and possibilities quickly resulted

in giving demonstrations to colleagues. The constant demand from friends, colleagues, hobby chefs

and professionals resulted in Peter modelling his skill in several workshops. Sweets Company was

born. The assets of the workshops at Sweets Company are that every participant can experiment and

create freely. In this way everyone learns the essence of chocolate and how to work with it in practice.

Naturally there is also lots of tasting. Peter doesn’t limit his experimentation to chocolate alone. The

formats are also subject to his creativity.

Interactive teambuilding with food, culinary parties and receptions, communion parties, …

Peter is always looking for that one special… the ultimate…thing that makes your party an exclusive

event. A rigorously selected team of passionate chefs ensures that every reception, party, workshop

or team building is a mega success. Their goal is to provide outstanding culinary discoveries and

entertainment in a relaxed atmosphere. In short, a true ‘chocolate-cocktail’!

MISSION STATEMENT:

DELIVERING PLEASURE WITH CHOCOLATE TO THE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND BRING THEM A

FEELING OF HAPPINESS AND EUPHORIA

A real chocolate challenge!

Creativity really comes into its own in this workshop; a giant chocolate figure is created using halved

chocolate Easter eggs, ranging from a rabbit, duck, dinosaur or pokemon!

Everyone produces their own creation in complete freedom; the technique is demonstrated in advance by

the Chocolatier Chef. Fun and surprise guaranteed! We also create delicious cream truffles. Everything is

packaged beautifully to make sure it gets home safely so the family can also enjoy them.

4. 4. Constructing the Atomium workshop

Are you a real team player, do you love challenges and do you have a passion for chocolate? Then build

your own chocolate Atomium together with your friends and colleagues!

Together with your friends and colleagues you make a team of at least 15 people. (to be divided into 1

or more teams). Before starting the task each team is given the various parts of the Atomium made from

chocolate.

You have one and a half hours to make a copy of the Atomium with your team and this under the supervi-

sion of the top chocolatier Peter Messely who will give you the tips you need to make the task a success.

If you can’t get enough of it, you can also challenge another team to see who can build it the fastest. Not

only speed but the finishing is also very important. Naturally there is also tasting of the various chocolates

during the task and delicious truffles are made on a milk chocolate base. After the workshop everyone can

fill a bag of pralines with the creations as a treat for those at home.

We will analyse and taste the aromas of several chocolates in this tasting combined with a special wine

that goes with them:

Vignobles Dom Brial, a domain in the Rivesaltes region near Perpignan (Southern France), produces

several types of Vin Doux Naturel in different age categories and flavours, from rancio to fresh young

Muscat wines.

The history and ‘the making of’ chocolate will also be considered in detail. As a surprise we also give

‘the Ultimate Chocolate Experience’, we will stimulate the taste buds here and snort chocolate powder

with mint in the nose using a ‘shooter’; an unforgettable and culinary experience.

To end this tasting we also provide a unique combination of flavours

with these chocolates, basil and olive oil. We can also set-up a choc-

olate fountain as an extra if desired with all kinds of goodies to dip in

the chocolate (see chocoholic corner estimate attached)

in chocolate at the workshop.

This chocolate display is then packaged beautifully so that it can get home safely.

In addition we also create crunchy rice poppers with hazelnut paste and milk chocolate, finished with dark

chocolate, a large recipe is made so that everyone can take a full bag home with them.

A cream pie in your face!Did you always want to throw cream pies? Like a real slapstick movie? This is your chance!

First we make the cream pies ourselves under the direction of a real chef. The most beautiful and most

creative pie wins a delicious bottle of bubbly.

And then: throw it! Exciting and relaxing and especially hilarious fun. Don’t worry about your clothes; you

will be given a waterproof overall so only your face, hands and shoes will be bare. So make sure you were

trainers or shoes that can get dirty.

The pie throwing workshop is finger licking good, both literally and figuratively. A unique opportunity to let

it all go, alone or with friends.

Working together in a relaxed atmosphere to get a professional result on unfamiliar terrain. Everyone is

introduced to the Cool world of the true ‘Glaciers’ the fine ice cream producers under the warm super-

vision of the Chef.

In a hands-on workshop we learn the tricks of the trade to create the best ice cream and sorbet recipes.

Parfaits are also considered in detail. To create a good base and then the many variations, e.g.: real vanilla

with crystallized vanilla beans, pistachio ice cream as almost nobody knows it with real pistachio paste,

stracciatella with bitter chocolate, etc. mango, passion fruit, raspberry sorbets,… we provide the necessary

professional instruction so that you know exactly what to do.

Using dry ice (-96°C) we will also make an ice cream pie that everyone can take home with them. Naturally,

the accompanying coulis and chocolate sauces should not be lacking here. Everything is packaged in a

special purposely made container with dry ice (-96°C), so that the participants have 2 hours to get every-

thing home safely and put it in the freezer. For longer conservation of the ice cream pies a customised

solution may be provided.

Be warned!

Chocolate, romance and love are often mentioned in one

breath and chocolate is known as the traditional roman-

tic gift. Chocolate is associated with love, romance and

lust.

Chocolate is known as an aphrodisiac and has an aphro-

disiac effect that many ladies and gentlemen are sensi-

tive to.

In Italy they even go a step further; there they recom-

mend that women who do not have much of a sex drive

eat chocolate more often. Urologists from the San Raffa-

ele hospital in Milan discovered that women who enjoyed

chocolate had a better sex life than women who could

resist its temptation. Conclusion, chocolate lovers have

more fun!

For that reason it is good to understand why your new
