You are right, but I can't find such classes in Denmark... So I just have to find information elsewhere and try on my own. :( 

 

I was in your shoes for many years...I like to attribute my success to scouring these threads, reading lots of chocolate books and lots of trial and error. I was however fortunate enough to attend my first workshop back in 2013, but since that is not an option, you can still gain a ton of knowledge from reading the threads on this website as they are a wealth of knowledge. I’m guessing now youtube would be a great resource if you are a visual learner. And just know that everyone has differing opinions on how to do various techniques, so ultimately you have to find the method that works the best for you to give you the results you are looking for. Not sure your experience, but just be prepared that there will be times that you will do the same thing and get a different result. I’ve been dabbling in chocolate work for 12 years now and I’m still learning that little things (i.e. temperature, humidity) will throw things out of whack. But if you enjoy a challenge, keep at it, you’ll only get better with time ☺️

 

And if you don’t have a copy yet, I would highly suggest getting Peter Grewelings “Chocolates and Confections” book. I consider it my chocolate bible and reference it often.
