In this class with Chef Alan Espinoza, Head of Chocolate Academy Mexico, inspiration will be found in the flavors, shapes and culture in Latin America. With a focus on simple recipes that can be adapted for every need, he will create desserts for different segments such as hotels, restaurants, pastry boutiques, catering, etc.

The desserts will be created in completely customized molds with the intention of keeping you inspired by your craft and to create desserts that will amaze your customers. In addition to sparking your imagination, the goal of this class will be to teach different textures and techniques that you can apply immediately in your kitchen.
