Description

The Art of Chocolate — Chocolatier’s Workshop & Tasting Room (BrickLink / LEGO‑compatible)

Overview & atmosphere
Step into a warm, fragrant world where science, craft and creativity meet: The Art of Chocolate invites builders to become master chocolatiers. This cosy, dollhouse‑style set traces the journey from raw cocoa beans to glossy bars and confectionery delights, pairing a public shop and tasting room above with a hands‑on workshop below. It’s equal parts interactive factory tour, quaint storefront and storytelling diorama—perfect for display, play and delicious photography.

Designer intent & storytelling elements
Inspired by real‑world chocolate houses and visitor attractions, the set is crafted to celebrate the artistry behind chocolate making. The designer wanted both an inviting customer experience (tasting, retail, ambiance) and an authentic backstage production area where minifigs can follow the entire process: roast, grind, temper and mould. The result is a charming two‑level vignette that encourages narrative play, recipe discovery and miniature hospitality.

Build features & playability

Dollhouse construction with hinged back and removable panels offers full access to both shop and workshop for easy posing, play and stop‑motion filming.
Ground floor tasting room and retail area include display cases, seating by a fireplace, and a service counter for sampling and selling house‑made chocolates.
Basement chocolate workshop recreates the production process: bean processing, mixing/tempering stations, moulding and finishing areas so visitors can watch cocoa transform into bars, truffles and pastries.
Visitor flow: a side entrance leads guests to the workshop tour while the front door opens to the tasting room—great for staging guided tours, demonstrations and culinary theatre.
Interactive props: chocolate moulds, conveyor or hand‑crank stations, ingredient sacks, sample trays and plated desserts invite hands‑on roleplay and vignette variety.

Model details & parts included

Rich interior vignettes: cosy seating, fireplace, display cabinets, chocolatier’s bench, ingredient storage, and equipment for roasting/grinding/tempering.
Decorative touches: signage, pastry displays, wrapped bars, plated sweets, spice jars and café accoutrements that add realism and storytelling depth.
Visitor and staff interactions: space for minifigures to sample treats, chat with the chocolatier, or peek into the production area for an educational tour.
Accessibility: hinged back and removable sections let you position figures and props easily—ideal for photography and interactive play.

Technical & hobby notes

Stable, user‑friendly assembly designed for repeated access—hinges and panels lock securely for display but remove quickly for interior access.
Great base for customisation: add printed tiles, small LED accent lighting for the tasting room, or textured floor tiles to enhance atmosphere.
Perfect for culinary diorama expansions—connect a bakery, café or market stall next door to grow the village scene.

Why you’ll love it
The Art of Chocolate combines tactile workshop mechanics with the warm hospitality of a tasting room, giving you a complete, touchable story of how chocolate is made and enjoyed. With removable panels, authentic props and rich vignette detail, it’s as satisfying to build as it is to display—and it invites endless scenes of tasting, testing and confectionery mischief.
