What You’ll Do

Did you know most French pastries share a single type of dough as the foundation? In this class, you'll learn the basics of laminated butter dough before turning it into cinnamon sugar palmiers, apple turnovers and kouign-amann, a round, buttery treat. Begin by rolling out chilled butter and stacking it with hand-kneaded dough to create a layered masterpiece that will serve as the foundation for the class. Cut, fill and bake the dough to golden flaky perfection in a variety of styles to showcase your new techniques.

Tea, coffee and water will be provided. Guests are welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages.

The resident chef was informative, enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and fun!! My complaints are that it was very expensive and the food was cold when we ate it. The food was fun to make and we learned a lot.

Fun class! Wished we could have brought wine or had some soft music playing in the background but it was a fun class!

The meal was okay. Our burner didn’t work well so our stake didn’t sear. The marketing said there would be coffee, water and tea. There was little cups of water that are given at a doctors office which isn’t appropriate when one pays $100 per person. Also—14 people in such a small setting isn’t ideal either. The room is better for 4 couples so we all have sufficient space. I’m disappointed to say the least
