About Melt & Make
Melt & Make is a chocolate-making studio on the Kingsway in Caringbah, run by the creators of Essenze Chocolate. The bright workshop space has long marble benches, tempering machines and room for 10 to 30 people, and it hosts scheduled classes, kids workshops and private events. For a hens party, birthday, baby shower or team building session, the custom workshop is the one to book. The team shapes the content around the group, from a relaxed, social session to more detailed technique, and typical activities include tempering milk or dark chocolate, piping and decorating truffles, dipping strawberries, making caramel clusters and moulding a chocolate bar with toppings. Everything the group makes is packaged to take home. Instructors guide complete beginners through each step, and more confident cooks can push into colouring and moulded bonbons. All materials and aprons are provided; guests just need closed shoes and something to tie hair back. Adult sessions are for ages 15 and up, with separate workshops for children. There is no parking on site, but unrestricted street parking on Willarong Road and nearby council car parks are close by. Anyone with a food allergy should contact the studio before booking, because the kitchen also processes nuts, milk and soy. Sunday functions carry a 10% surcharge, and cancellations within seven days of the date are not refunded.

Workshops cover tempering chocolate, piping and decorating truffles, dipping strawberries and moulding bars, and the content can be tailored. Everything you make is yours to take home.
