Step into the world of French pâtisserie with this baking class in Manhattan, where you’ll make two timeless tea cakes: buttery madeleines and rich, almond-based financiers. In this immersive pastry workshop hosted by NY Cake Academy, you’ll be guided by an expert baker through every step of the process, from mixing and baking to flavor variations and finishing touches.
You’ll learn how to achieve the madeleine’s signature shell shape and perfect dome, as well as how to brown butter to bring out the deep, nutty flavor that makes financiers so irresistible. Along the way, you’ll explore classic flavor profiles like bright citrus and fragrant vanilla, plus indulgent chocolatey and nutty twists.
Whether you’re an experienced baker or a complete beginner, this dessert class offers a fun, relaxed way to master two beloved French classics. All tools and ingredients are provided, and you’ll leave with your own golden, freshly baked batch of each. Ideal for birthday celebrations or a day date in NYC, the class is as fun as it is sweet.
