Recent reviews of French Pastry Making Class

  • 3/5 from Daniel Sanchez, attended May 2024: We took a pastry class where we learned to make choux dough for eclairs and cream puffs. We expected more time hands on making our pastries but we estimate we spent about 20 mins total. The rest of the time was spent watching the pastry cream being made (we also never received the recipe as promised), waiting on the pastries to bake in 2 very small convection ovens, which also didn’t get appropriate time to cook and rise as se recommended, and others people’s pastries burnt because the instructor did not send a timer. Overall we feel the class was severely overbooked. There were 4 people to one work station and not enough supplies either per person, time management could also improve. Instruction for piping was also not great, resulting in many people have poor results. Kudos for the trivia with gifts for those that got the answers right, that was thoughtful.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Casillas, attended Apr 2024: This was my very first baking class ever and I went alone which was scary but once I got into the class, my teacher was very welcoming and made everyone feel very comfortable! 10/10 Recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jack Dannibale, attended Feb 2024: This class was so much fun! I attended with my friend (a date) and we had a blast making eclairs and choux pastry buns from start to finish. The teacher was excellent, the venue was good, parking was easy. 10 out of 10 value and fun wise
