What you can expect
Step into the world of ancient sweets with a hands-on Dragon Beard Sweets making experience led by a professionally trained pastry chef. With a background in both traditional Chinese pastry and classical French patisserie from Le Cordon Bleu, I blend the precision of French technique with the artistry of Chinese heritage to offer a one-of-a-kind workshop.
We’ll begin with a brief storytelling session about the fascinating 2,000-year history of Dragon Beard Sweets—once a delicacy reserved for Chinese royalty. Next, you’ll watch a live demonstration of how molten sugar is transformed into fine, silky strands resembling a dragon’s beard.
Then it’s your turn: under my guidance, you’ll stretch and fold the sugar dough over 10,000 times, creating threads as thin as hair. You’ll wrap them around a delicious mix of crushed peanuts, sesame, and coconut. By the end, you’ll leave with your handmade treats and a deeper appreciation of this cultural treasure.
