Small Pastries

Instructor: Judy Bunde
Date: June 16-17
Enrollment: Limited to 10

These small delights always make an impressive display and can be easier to make than you might think. You will learn some basic components that can be pre-made and frozen ahead for quick assembly when needed to create a variety of delicious small bites. We’ll do mini éclairs and cream puffs with some unusual fillings, lemon and nut tartlets, and tiny cheesecakes. Then we’ll spend some time on a few flashier numbers. After this session, you’ll be prepared to always have some fancy little items ready to serve in minutes. Techniques will include working with tart doughs and pate a choux, lemon curd, simple pastry bag techniques, writing with chocolate and creating those fancy petit four designs, and an introduction to fondant.
