Edible Chocolate Boxes!

I had an opportunity to follow students at the AIPD Culinary Department’s Chocolate Class. Their final project is to create an edible hexagon-shaped chocolate box filled with personally designed pieces within a 4 hour period. I photographed hour-2 and hour-4 of their process. I loved moving around the action and creating a photographic narrative of the students while witnessing the transformation of chocolate from cocoa bars into beautifully shaped hexagon chocolate boxes.
