Workshops
Do the éclairs you see in pastry shop windows make you dream as much as they make your mouth water? Would you like to learn their secrets so you can recreate them at home?
In this 3.5-hour workshop, we’ll make two whipped-cream éclairs, two chocolate religieuses, and a batch of chouquettes. You’ll learn the proper technique to achieve the perfect choux pastry texture. Then, we’ll practice using a piping bag to form beautiful éclairs and perfectly round choux for assembling our religieuses. We’ll finish by piping delicate rosettes for our chouquettes.
And since choux pastry is never complete without cream, we’ll make a light, airy whipped cream, a smooth chocolate ganache, and finally, a luscious whipped ganache.
Required skills: None! All curious food lovers are welcome.
All materials and equipment are provided for this workshop.
Notes:
– Please remember to bring at least two large containers to take your creations home.
– Participants will be invited to taste their creations at the end of the workshop, but no meals will be served during the workshop. Please plan to eat before the workshop or bring a snack with you!
