One of our missions here at the Society for Culinary Arts & Letters is culinary education and information exchange. Since 2004, members have developed and/or attended courses and workshops, then reported on them. This index of courses and workshops devoted to confections and chocolates should assist people in finding the topics. Thanks go to @Kerry Beal for suggesting that an index be developed, and to @curls for actually developing it.
