For many of us, it is hard to say no to any French pastry, let alone a delicious pâte à choux! But what if you could make them yourself whenever a craving strikes? Chef Alexis will be teaching you how to make the beloved Choux pastry. This little dessert makes quite an impact at small gatherings or a romantic dinner with your loved one.
We will be learning how to make the highly sought after Eclair with a delectable pastry cream filling and velvety ganache along with the classic cream puff. After making this classic French pastry, your friends and family will be calling you chef in no time!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the baking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting.
The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment.

Recent reviews of French Pastry Class

  • 5/5 from Arianna Keenan, attended Jun 2024: I booked this class for me and my mother in law and had zero idea what to expect. I was mind blown. First thing I noticed was how friendly the classmates were. The teacher Francesca (hopefully spelled right) was a beautiful teacher. So talented and was extremely helpful. She talked you through everything and was a complete open book with questions. I would recommend her and this course to anyone. In the industry or not it was so fun. I was intimidated at first as this was my first class and my mother in law bakes often for us and for parties etc so I off the bat was worried haha. But it was an amazing experience. We will definitely be attending more of her classes. Thank you so much for this experience!
