11.2.2009-11.4.2009

PreGel Facility (Concord, NC)
8am-5pm

Instructor: Stephane Treand.

Chef Stephane Treand, MOF and 2008 World Pastry Champion, brought his sparkling personality and impressive chocolate talents to PreGel AMERICA's Professional Training Center November 2-4, 2009. Chocolate filled the air as chef attendees of the 5-Star Chef Series seminar learned how to model and construct chocolate and chocolate sculptures, chocolate flowers, faces and abstract shapes of pastillage;  airbrushing techniques for showpieces, bonbons and pastillage; creative make-shift molds; and a number innovative techniques shared by Stephane Treand, MOF.  The chefs were also introduced to PreGel's new and unique 5-Star Chef Pastry Select product line, which always raises eyebrows for its superior quality. Check out one of Chef Treand's delectable bonbon recipes here.

Accomplished pastry chefs and sweet shop owners from the Ritz Carlton, Mandarin Oriental, Peabody Hotel, MGM Grand, Marriott, Fuzziwing's Candy Factory in Newnan, GA, and The Modern Restaurant of New York City joined Chef Treand for this very memorable event.  

 

PreGel AMERICA would like to thank Chef Treand and all of the talented chef attendees for the resulting exquisite chocolate showpieces that we currently have on display in our office and training center. 

 

We will offer this class again in May 2010.  Chef Treand's class will definitely fill up fast, so register today!
