About this activity

Master classic French dessert-making techniques in an intimate 3-hour class at your chef's Paris apartment. Work hands-on with a professional pastry chef to craft showstopping treats like chocolate lava cake, macarons, and fruit tarts, then taste your creations and leave with recipes to recreate them at home.

Indulge your sweet tooth with this delectable dessert cooking class led by an experienced French chef. At their home in Paris, you can enjoy a hands-on demonstration focused on revealing the secrets and techniques used to create delicious French desserts. Make your way to your chef's apartment, where you'll don an apron and get to work. Your chef will detail each step in the baking process, and you'll be able to help out and participate as you'd like.

The types of desserts you make depend on seasonal ingredients and your interests, but some examples include:

  • Rich chocolate lava cake
  • Airy madeleines
  • Passion fruit soufflé
  • Lemon or apple tarts

At the end, you'll get the chance to enjoy your tasty creations or wrap them up and save them for later; and your chef will also provide you with the recipes of what you prepared, so you can recreate the desserts once back home.
