French Tart Master Class

Join us for this two-day Master Class discovering the fine art of French tart making.

The class will be a hands-on exploration of both classic and contemporary French pastry fundamentals, from first mix to final decoration.

We will learn essential pastry skills including dough handling, tart shell preparation, frangipane, lemon curd, ganache montée, Italian meringue, and professional assembly techniques

The two elegant classics we will be exploring are:

Lemon Tart with Italian Meringue — crisp pâte sucrée, silky lemon curd, and refined finishing techniques.

Wild Berry Frangipane Tart with White Chocolate Ganache Montée — almond frangipane, vibrant berry confit, and a light whipped ganache.

Participants will also leave with beautiful pastries, tart ring and tartlet pan, as well as techniques to continue using confidently at home.
