Kids Rock Chocolate Sculptures at the Cooking Camp

Can you guess the age of the advanced culinary students who created these Chocolate masterpieces? Mid 20’s or early 30’s with years of Chocolate experience under their belt? Well, if that is what you guessed you would be so far off you would say I was delusional. Would you believe these chocolate sculptures were created by a group of 7-17 year old kids who attended a week of The Cooking Camp www.summerartacademy.com called simply Chocolate Extravaganza…

“We started the week with over 400 pounds of Chocolate and at times I felt I had to look for an Ooompa Loompa because I felt like Willie Wonka, we had so much Chocolate flowing” stated an excited Executive Chef Chris Allen.

Kids not only made this Chocolate sculpture over a 1 week period, but they also treated their family to some amazing Chocolate delights like a Chocolate Decadence Cake and the most delicious 100% Kona Coffee and Chocolate that was provided by the Original Hawaiian Chocolate Factory www.ohcf.us/index.html
