Additional Information

Everything begins with a comforting mug of tea or coffee while you prepare to delve into making your very own Buttery Croissant, Pain au Chocolat (or chocolate croissant), and Pain au Raisin! The small group size of 8 ensures personalized guidance from the chef as you acquire new culinary skills.\n\nInitially, you’ll acquaint yourself with the utensils, ingredients, and the theoretical underpinnings of croissant preparation. The entire process will be hands-on, with high-quality materials sourced from our local suppliers.\n\nThe journey starts with the kneading of the predough. Your indispensable final ingredient is the rolling pin, used to flatten the matured dough and mold your unique pastries! The pastries will then be given time to rise and cook.\n\nThe experience culminates with a sampling of your freshly baked pastries accompanied by an enlightening conversation about your Parisian adventures. We, the chefs, are always eager to share culinary tips, recommendations, and hear your viewpoints, as well as learn from your experiences. Don’t forget to pack up any leftovers!

Wonderful - Was a great experience and a lot of fun. Chef was amazing and learned a lot. The description of the location should be updated. No red awning and no name of the bakery listed outside!

The chef who made the perfect experience! - Chef Manel was a truly amazing.. you feel her passion in everything she does. She explained the steps in a very nice way, giving certain tips throughout the process and adding her own “advices” on what to do and what not to do. She’s a nice sense of humor too, in addition to her welcoming and friendly attitude made the experience truly amazing. I truly appreciated the experience because of her. Je lui tire mon chapeau!

Buttery Goodness and great for all levels of bakers (or non-bakers) - Chef Christina was amazing and really made it such a personable class. I am so excited to take what I have learned home with me! The space is an incredible space for multiple classes going on at the same time but without any interference. We had made so many croissants and rolls that we had a big bag to eat the remainder of our trip! Highly recommend on the front end of your trip to have homemade pastries throughout!

Great Class - Our whole group loved this class. The instructor was friendly and the small class size was perfect for this hands on instruction. We also liked that we got to take what we made with us to enjoy later.
