Make a French classic with a festive twist in this beginner-friendly baking workshop in Manhattan! In this workshop, you’ll make delectable chocolate madeleines and finish them with glossy chocolate shells decorated with green Christmas tree designs.
Under expert guidance from helpful instructors, you’ll mix and chill a rich chocolate batter, then learn the secret to baking light, airy madeleines. Then comes the decorating! You’ll pipe colored chocolate Christmas tree designs into silicone molds, fill them with white chocolate, and press your warm madeleines into the mold for a smooth, perfectly fitted shell. Then you’ll learn chilling and unmolding tricks that reveal sharp, glossy details every time.
Whether you're looking for easy holiday recipes, outings with friends, or fun things to do in NYC for the holidays, this baking class makes for a great afternoon. At the end, you’ll leave with a box of custom chocolate-coated holiday madeleines!
