Chef Ashley was a really sweet, engaging, and informative host. I took my mom to this class for mothers day, and it was just perfect!

We had a great experience with Chef Ashley. She is a wonderful host. We learned many things about chocolate that we never knew before and left much more knowledgeable about cacao, the chocolate-making process, and all other things involved. The truffles we made were delicious. We would suggest having larger glove sizes for the customers that cannot fit into small or medium size gloves.

Chef Ashley's passion for cooking and wanting to unite people through food truly shows in her dishes. She is enjoyable to learn from and has so much to share. She also stands out from other chefs since she has formal training and pastry and chocolates. I highly recommend her if you are in the area.

It is clear that Ashley puts her heart and soul into her creations. Her attention to quality is unmatched. Her passion for ethical sourcing, processing, and preparation shows through in her final products. No exaggeration, every dish/confection I have tried of hers is literally the best I've ever had. Most importantly, Ashley is the sweetest and such an amazing teacher! I highly recommend working with Ashley for anything!
