French Patisserie Masterclass
The art of tarts!
Spend the day exploring the elegance of classic French patisserie in this hands-on workshop dedicated to one of the most beautiful desserts in pastry: the tart.
Guided by their professionally trained, in-house pastry chef, you’ll learn how to create two stunning styles of tart from scratch.
During the class you will make a large fruit tart with crisp almond pastry, smooth almond crème and a silky crème patissiere beautifully decorated with seasonal fruits, as well as six elegant chocolate ganache tarts finished with edible gold leaf.
You’ll also learn the finishing techniques that give patisserie its signature polished look, including how to glaze your fruit tart for a professional shine and longer freshness.
Working in their small, supportive class of just six students, you’ll be guided step by step through the essential techniques used in professional pastry kitchens.
Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of pastry preparation, texture and flavour so you can confidently recreate these desserts at home.
By the end of the class you’ll leave with a box of beautiful handmade patisserie to take home and share, along with the knowledge and skills to make them again.
This class is suitable for enthusiastic home bakers who would like to develop their pastry skills and experience the techniques behind classic French tarts.
