Intro to French Pastry with the Winner of Hulu's Cookie, Cupcake, Cake

Transport yourself to the renowned kitchens of Paris’ Le Cordon Bleu for a hands-on, beginner's journey into the art of French pastry!

In this immersive class, you'll discover the secrets of choux pastry, or pâte à choux. Guided by our expert Pastry Chef Instructor, you’ll start with a detailed demonstration before rolling up your sleeves to create perfect éclairs and cream puffs from scratch. Learn the essential skills of mixing, piping, baking, and filling as you craft these elegant treats.

Once you’ve mastered choux, a world of possibilities opens up! With these techniques, you’ll gain the confidence to make gougères, churros, French cruller donuts, and choux beignets—all from the same versatile dough.

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 cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).  

Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group.  Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class, sharing both ingredients and equipment.  Outside drinks are not allowed.  Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price.  21+ only.
