The baguette, originating from France, has a soft, airy, and chewy interior made with an irregular structure of air pockets. It appears as a long, thin loaf of bread with rounded edges. Focaccia originated from Italy and is considered a precursor to pizza. It is a flatbread, typically baked in a sheet pan. Its interior is soft and fluffy with a crispy, oily crust. Which is the better bread: Baguette or Focaccia? Well, you make them and you decide! Bring take-out containers or Tupperware to transport your baked goods home.

Une Tarte au Citron is a very, very beautiful French dessert! You will love the lemon curd filling that makes this tarte a joy to savor. Pâte Sucree is unlike some other pastry doughs as it is sweet in flavor and has a crumbly and tender texture that makes it less flaky than traditional pie crusts. It is known for its buttery consistency, resembling a sugar or shortbread cookie. Bon appétit! Bring take-out containers or Tupperware to transport your baked desserts home.

Did you know that créme Brûlée is also known as burnt cream? It is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is typically served cold as the custard needs time to cool and set to achieve its proper, creamy texture. Créme caramel, or flan, is notably more stiff and jiggly than créme brûlée, although both consist of a combination of eggs, dairy, and sugar. It gets even better! Do you want to know how to make the best cheesecake of your life? Well, this class is for you. Not only will you make créme brûlée and flan, but also the perfect, creamy cheesecake that actually freezes very well! Bring take-out containers or Tupperware to transport your baked desserts home.
