It all started with the Chocobatch.

There are three questions that people always ask me.

1. Do you still like to eat chocolate ?- Yes of course I do, but that leads to the next one…

2. Why can you still fit through doors you must eat so much chocolate? - if I ate the amount of chocolate you think I might do, surrounded by it all the time then I would make no profit, be very overweight and also it does loose its treatiness when you have it on tap.

3. How did you get into chocolate sculpting? - The answer to this one is obviously a longer one but it always starts with the tale of the chocolate Benedict Cumberbatch...lovingly nicknamed ..the Chocobatch .

In 2015, my son Ted started school, I had a bit more time to focus on my career and business. I was running a cake business called She Bakes at the time and was trying to specialise more in chocolate work and was absolutely delighted when an opportunity to work with the amazing team of sculptors and prop makers at Plunge Creations presented itself. After getting the call from them to ask for chocolate assistance in the making of this 6ft high, 44kg heavy, hunk of choco chunk.

Taylor Herring had approached the Brighton based prop company to make them the life-sized chocolate sculpture of Benedict Cumberbatch for UKTV for an Easter promotion. He was to go on display at Westfield Shopping Centre to celebrate the launch of Drama on UKTV’s on demand service.

It took three weeks to make and over 100hrs of chocolate artistry to finish the project. Once erected on his plinth at Westfield it was a pleasure to watch as the public marvelled at his luxurious elegance and rich aroma. Some couldn’t resist his chocolate charms and had a nibble...oopsie!

This was to be the start of a beautifully sweet partnership between Plunge and She Bakes ( shortly after this rebranding as Chocolatician) taking the world of chocolate art by storm!

Chocolate King Charles Bust For Celebrations

This is the latest creation by Chocolatician Jen Lindsey-Clark and chocolate sculptor specialist Tim Simpson and team from Plunge Creations.

It took four weeks from creating the initial sketches to putting the finishing touches on the bust made with everyones favourite iconic mini chocolate bars.

Commisioned by Celebrations with brilliant PR assistance from Taylor Herring we pulled it off again and by the time it went live on Wednesday 26th April 2023 the papers were lapping it up and T.V requests were piling up! International success and viral coverage before the actual real King had even been crowned! Thrilled to have been involved with this project and very proud of the result .

If you have a delicious idea for a stunning PR stunt and need world famous creators to make it happen contact us here.

Two new workshops in a box out now!

Easter madness with lolly and egg making in one box

and Truffle shuffling in another !!

Hello Chocolate lovers! Unfortunately due to the recent pandemic it isn’t possible for me to run my workshops at the chocolate studio in Shoreham By Sea and probably won’t be taking bookings till after Easter time when things soften a little in regards to social distancing as vaccines start to do their thing. This has been really disappointing for lots of folk but especially for me as I love to share the magic, science and fun of chocolate with you all!
As most small and large businesses are needing to, I have tried to come up with some ideas which can play this life restricting time at its own game.
I am now offering a Chocolatician ‘workshop in a box’ collection that you can buy on this website and is delivered to your home so you can have a chocolatey afternoon with your loved ones or all by yourself if that is how you roll!
In this box there is everything you need to do a chocolate workshop. Most importantly there are three bags of the finest Belgian Belcolade chocolate buttons (300g each) in white, milk and dark chocolate depending on your preference, 4 piping bags, 12 chocolate transfers, 12 lolly sticks, 3 chocolate pouring cups and delicious decorations. There is even little bags and ties for you to put your finished chocolates in, which really gives them that professional touch!

The only thing that is missing in this box is me, The Chocolatician.

However I am there in spirit by means of video! There are links inside the box and on this website to some video tutorials that I have been busy making to help guide you through how to temper the chocolate, create the chocolates and make piping bags and to decorate your chocolate treats. Everything you need to know is there and by the time you have finished your workshop in a box you will be on your way to Chocolaticianship.

I hope you have a lot of fun with the boxes and perhaps you can send me pictures of your own creations?
What would you like to learn next? Let me know via email - hello@chocolatician.com

New Chocolatician Truffles getting creative with ARTHOUSE Unlimited

The most exciting thing has been happening over the last few months. We have combined forces with ARTHOUSE Unlimited a charity based in Godalming to create the most beautifully and inventively packaged boxes of delicious taste bud conquering chocolate truffles carefully encased in a stunning ready-to-hang artwork.

All artwork derives from the skills each artist brings to the enterprise and every contribution holds real value.

Jen (Head Chocolatician) met the incredible CEO Becky Sheraidah who resides in Chocolatician’s home town, a year later after developing recipes and perfecting this beautiful chocolate product together it is finally ready for the artists to see what a fabulous job they have done with the designs and packaging and the public to either buy on line … https://arthouseunlimited.org/shop/handmade-rich-chocolate-truffles-hummingbird-design/ here

Chocolatician in the new Channel 5 series 'The Wonderful World of Chocolate'

This series is showing on channel 5 . You can watch it on Catch up for a few weeks. Or watch the clip here.

It was a fantastic programme to be part of. A really varied and interesting mixture of the history of chocolate and chocolate bars as well as profiling chocolate artists like myself, chocolate companies and chocolate factories.

The producers found Chocolatician through research and were keen on telling the story of how it came to be that we are the go to for ridiculous things in chocolate including the chocolate cumberbunny .

It was really nice to be able to share our full story and divulge secrets about the clever processes we use, highlighting the amazing skills of Tim Simpson our top sculptor and mould maker. Also just to be part of such an impressive mix of artists and edible inventors is a real honour!
