Bake, fill and stack cream puffs into a Christmas tree croquembouche.
from$200per person
This pastry class in New York builds an edible holiday centrepiece: a Christmas tree of stacked cream puffs, in a four-hour masterclass. It takes place in the teaching kitchen of a family-run cake and baking supply business, founded in 1991, whose Manhattan flagship on West 22nd Street also houses a café and shop.
You bake choux puffs from scratch, fill them with velvety cream, decorate them and assemble them into a tall croquembouche-style tree.
Instructors teach choux fundamentals for a good rise and hollow centre, then the structural technique of stacking. All ingredients and supplies are included. Wear casual clothes you don't mind getting sugar on and flat closed-toe shoes, and tie back long hair.
Ambitious beginners and keen bakers wanting a showpiece for the holiday table. Every class is hands-on and interactive, so expect to be busy at the counter; please tell the team about any allergies or dietary needs before the class starts.
