Photos from the Chocolate Workshop

The Chocolate Workshop, lead by Pam Archibald, was a great success. Attendance was great, a record number of raffle tickets were sold and we all spent the day in close quarters with chocolate - what could be better!

Congratulations to Sharon Coutts and Joy MacDonald who won first and second prizes, respectively, in the workshop raffle.

Thanks again to Pam Archibald of Suzy Q Cake Decorating for sharing with us some of her cake decorating skills.

Please enjoy the photos below and we look forward to seeing you all at our next workshop - Brush Embroidery on 20 October 2007.
