Cream puffs and éclairs have a reputation for being intimidating, but this French Choux Pastry class in New York City is here to prove they're totally within your reach! Led by Chef Ellie, this hands-on pastry class walks you through everything from scratch -- no prior baking experience needed, no stress, just good vibes and great food.
Here's how to make choux pastry the right way: you'll start by mastering pâte à choux dough, the foundation behind some of France's most beloved treats. From there, you'll shape your dough into delicate cream puffs and perfectly formed éclairs, then finish them off with a rich pastry cream and silky chocolate ganache. If you've ever Googled "how to bake elegant French desserts at home" and immediately closed the tab, this pastry making class is your sign to try again -- with actual guidance this time. All equipment and ingredients are provided, and everything you'll use is easy to find at your local market.
Whether you're hunting for unique date ideas in NYC, fun baking ideas for a night out, or simply a skill worth bragging about, this class delivers. Chef Ellie keeps things casual, instructive, and genuinely enjoyable -- whether you want to be hands-on every step or prefer to assist and observe.
