Guided by a professional chef-patissier, you’ll learn how to transform simple ingredients into buttery, golden pastries. From mixing and laminating dough to shaping and filling, every stage is hands-on, ensuring you gain the confidence and skills to recreate these treats at home.
Begin your workshop by getting acquainted with the essentials of laminated dough, the foundation of classic croissants and Danishes. Under the chef’s watchful eye, practice rolling, folding, and layering butter to achieve those signature flaky textures.

You’ll also try your hand at making fougasse, a rustic French bread known for its beautiful leaf shape and aromatic herbs.
Throughout the session, enjoy the satisfying process of turning dough into edible art, with plenty of tips on decoration and presentation. As your pastries bake, soak up the inviting aromas and chat with fellow participants about baking traditions and techniques. At the end of the workshop, gather your freshly baked creations to take home- perfect for sharing with friends or savouring yourself.
