Melissa Coppel
Melissa Coppel entered the world of Pastry when she left her home country Colombia in her early 20’s to enroll at the French Pastry School in Chicago, where she graduated from L’ Art de la Patisserie Program. This whetted her appetite for the art of high level pastry. Through sheer determination, Coppel eventually landed in the pastry kitchen of the prestigious L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas, where she honed her pastry skills. Then she took a position in the chocolate room of Caesars Palace Casino and right after at The Bellagio Casino, where she spent hours working with chocolate. This was the spark that ignited her love affair with chocolate, and launched her very specialized career. Today, she travels the world teaching her art, while she runs the Melissa Coppel Chocolate and Pastry School in Las Vegas.
Melissa Coppel is a Cacao Barry Ambassador.
She was named "Chocolatier of the Year” in 2013, and one of the “Top Ten Chocolatiers in North America” in 2016.
COURSE
Class: Creative Marzipan
Don't worry! The marzipan recipes you will learn to make in this class have nothing to do with the overly sweet commercial marzipans that tastes like bitter almond extract - and that everyone hates for a reason. A good marzipan, on the other hand, is such an amazing product! Not only are they delicious, but they are extremely versatile, nutritious, and have a texture that is hard to resist. And the best part? They have a great shelf life!
We begin this class by paying tribute to one of America's most beloved classics: cookie dough marzipan! And the repertoire only gets better: cocoa nib, yuzu, black sesame, strawberry kalamata, espresso, and coconut marzipan are all included. With these recipes, marzipan is definitely something to get excited about!
