Chicago Pastry Classes

Pastry classes are fun and educational. You can enhance your baking experience by learning new skills and pick up useful tips from a professional chef.

No experience is necessary, and beginners are most welcome. We will provide everything you'll need for the class, including ingredients and equipment.

Absolute beginners will learn the fundamentals of baking. You may see some utensils you've never seen before, but by the end of class, you’ll know exactly how to use them. In our pastry classes in Chicago, you will discover crucial details about ingredients like leavening agents and flours.

Moreover, we always make sure our pastry chef classes in Chicago are casual and fun while still highly instructive. We've created equally impressive courses for both the beginner who only wants to watch and assist and the pastry enthusiast who wants to follow every step.

If you want to learn new baking skills, you can’t go wrong with a pastry class. Chicago is home to experienced chefs who will teach you the ins and outs of pastry theory and boost your know-how by showing how to use unique baking tools.

Although pastry has a reputation for being complicated and challenging, it is surprisingly easy to create, especially when you learn from a professional. First, our experienced chef instructor will give you a detailed demonstration and then follow with a step-by-step guide. You'll learn which flour to use to create the perfect dough, as well as how to pipe, bake, and fill delicious cream puffs and eclairs.

When you take our pastry making class in Chicago, you'll make delicious yet technical sweets that scare away many amateur bakers.

In the past, pastry making classes have taken place in person. However, as technology evolves, so do pastry and baking schools in Chicago. Now, we also offer an array of virtual classes. With social distancing as a high priority these days, many people choose online courses instead of private lessons.

We know many people still want to enjoy our knowledgeable chefs’ tips and tricks at private events. So, when we hold an in-person class, we take all possible precautions for guest and staff safety. Everyone must wear a mask throughout the event, and we’ve reduced class size so you’ll have space to distance from the rest of the group. We also provide takeaway containers so you can enjoy the delights you've made in the comfort of your home without your mask.

When it comes to online classes, we will send you a complete list of equipment and ingredients you need for the recipe you’ll be following. You should measure and prepare everything as instructed ahead of the class. Doing so will ensure you can easily follow your instructor’s directions.

Why stop at one pastry class when you can learn so much more? After you master the introductory pastry course, you’ll be ready to learn how to make French Beignets or Croissant & Pain au Chocolat.

You’ll learn how to make French beignets (powdered-sugar covered donuts) using two techniques: baking and frying in this class. You'll work with the dough throughout each stage, from kneading to proving. Our chef will show you how to roll out the dough into small shapes before baking or frying. At the end of class, you can fill your beignets with Nutella, jam, or custard.

Who doesn't love croissants? They’re crisp yet soft and airy with a sweet buttery flavor: croissants have always been worth every minute you invest in their preparation. If you want to add this classic French gem to your repertoire, you can learn to make it from scratch in theCroissant & Pain au Chocolat pastry class. Our respected pastry chef will guide you through the croissant making process step by step. In this course, you will learn how to go from flour and butter to delicious traditional croissants quickly and easily.

Our classes are fun and engaging; experienced chefs showcase their skills and teach you how to replicate their actions. We guarantee a great time during our classes, whether you decide to take an online course or an in-person pastry lesson. Feel free to contact us to learn more about our cooking classes in Chicago!
