Chef Alisha's Classes

FULL - French Patisserie at Home - Fri Apr 4th Afternoon

$65

with Alisha Axe

Calendar Apr 4, 2025 at 1 pm

In this class, Chef Alisha will explore a personal passion, the elegant art of French Patisserie. You'll learn three classic and beatiful desserts. First, we'll create the thin almond cake, coffee-flavored buttercream, and dark chocolate ganache to layer together a gorgeous Opera Cake. Next, on to Paris-Brest, the lesser known, wheel-shaped cousin of the éclair. This choux pastry dessert showcases a star of local agriculture: the hazelnut. The class will finish with a classic Tarte au Citron, or lemon tart, with a simple buttery tart shell, silky lemon curd, and topped with a torched meringue. Chef Alisha will walk you through all the steps and give you the tips you need to create artful pastries. All recipes have been modified by her so they can be recreated by students in a home kitchen environment. 

Dietary/allergen info: Class ingredients include wheat, dairy, tree nuts, and eggs.

If the class you want is full, please click anyway and get on the waiting list. Thanks!
