French Pastry Fundamentals

Step into the world of classic French pastry and discover the magic of pâte à choux in this hands-on baking experience!

Often thought of as one of the most intimidating pastry techniques, choux pastry is surprisingly approachable when you know the secrets. Guided by our expert Pastry Chef Instructor, you'll learn each step of the process—from preparing the perfect choux dough to piping, baking, and filling your pastries with confidence.

During class, you'll create two iconic French favorites: elegant éclairs and light, airy cream puffs. Along the way, you'll gain an understanding of the versatile techniques behind pâte à choux and discover how the same dough can be transformed into a variety of beloved pastries, including gougères, churros, French cruller doughnuts, and choux beignets.

You'll leave with practical baking tips, professional techniques, and the confidence to recreate these impressive pastries in your own kitchen.
