Hello everyone. I am a few day's late this year to get the Christmas list up, apologies, I had to make sure I could get all the ingredients, sadly some I cannot get this years so you may see some favourites missing (like my blood orange for my fruit tarts! so sad!).

But here it is (better late than never) the 9th LAWRENCE MINT CHRISTMAS list, plus a link to the website: https://www.lawrencemint.com/christmas-orders-list
All orders can be collected from Simpson Park kitchen from 17th Dec - 24th Dec (no deliveries on the Christmas week sorry, I cant leave the kitchen).
Please message me here on face book messenger to book and don't panic if it takes me a day to get back to you as I have a lot of message to get through today and tomorrow.
No truffles this year sorry, as I do need to be sensible with how much chocolate I make or I will end up back to no elbow again swiftly!

THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT, this is my 9th Christmas orders list and I cannot tell you how much it means to me that you all share my food around your tables, Christmas after Christmas.
I CANT wait to make/bake and cook for you all again this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello everyone,
I will release the Christmas orders list on the 1st Dec, so for those messaging, you haven’t missed out 😁 I am not sure how many chocolates I will make this season due the price of chocolate and trying to stick to limited duties because of my elbow. BUT I WILL be making plenty of cheesecakes and desserts/tarts so if you do want a cheesecake you are welcome to start sending your orders in before I post the full Christmas list 🎄

Hello everyone,
We are only 8 weeks away from Christmas!! how did that happen so fast? time to get festive.
I have loved sharing recipes and doing Christmas work party classes, lots of laughs and of course, delicious chocolate😉

For those asking here is the brochure for my new festive chocolate class. They are approx one hour and heaps of fun, we make delicious Christmas themed desserts that you can go onto share with your family and friends over the break, the class is hands on you everyone gets the recipe cards and takes home a $30 dessert box.
I still have spaces in Nov for private groups (weekends only a couple of dates free but mid week and evenings has more space) for group bookings of any style of class and I can come to you or you can join one of my classes (dates below).
The festive chocolate class and the truffle rolling classes are perfect as an end of year work party or social group gatherings, I bring everything you need and its all about making and sharing and enjoying....and eating together.

NOTE:
Also have had a last minute change of date for a private chocolate class this Sunday which means I now have an opening for a class in Mosgiel (as I have already booked the venue). I thought I would put it out there to see if another group would like to grab this spot? or if I have a few interested? I could make an open class this Sunday ?
If you are keen to join a group class this Sunday in Mosgiel? or have a group that is after a fun festive gathering? message me and I can arrange it:)

What a wonderful busy week, of teaching chocolate to 3 lovely groups.
Started with a delightful big group at the new amazing building at Oracle on Highgate then onto a private truffle rolling class with the lovely Dunedin ladies then finished the week with a super fun kids chocolate making birthday party at fabulous Goldpark Campgrounds meeting and coffee space.
Thank you all for learning how to make chocolate with me. I loved meeting you all and happy eating of your delicious goodies we made.
