Continue developing your French baking skills with this 4-week class! As a continuation of my first class, this camp will include making four new and different French desserts. Each recipe involves a different aspect of baking or cooking ranging from making fresh fruit tartlets, chocolate ganache cake, cream puffs, and a French Silk pie with homemade crust. Your friends and family will say, "Mes compliments au chef!" (My compliments to the chef!) Schedule of Classes Includes: Week 1- Cream Puffs with Sweet Cream Filling Week 2- Chocolate Ganache Cake Week 3- Fresh Fruit Tartlettes Week 4- French Silk Pie Class times will include the following instruction: - demonstration and discussion of mixing tools and techniques - demonstration of mixing ingredients - demonstration of preparing recipes for baking or stovetop cooking - modeling how to roll out pastry dough - modeling of proper oven usage and safety - demonstration of making cream filling - modeling and guiding of 'blind baking' crust Students may need time after class to complete the baking/cooking process on some days.

It's also important that students have the proper ingredients and tools available in order for their recipes to turn out successfully.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of California, San Diego
I have been baking for over 30 years and specialize in creating delicious pies, breads, cookies, and desserts. I have provided professional-grade desserts, pies and cake pops for many birthdays, graduations, baby/wedding showers, and community celebrations.
I am a graduate of the University of California at San Diego with a degree in Political Science. My teaching experience includes homeschooling my own two children for 18 years. I have also taught ESL online for the past 1 1/2 years.
Fun fact about me: I began baking on my own as a latch-key kid in the 80's. Many of my first attempts were completely inedible!
Now, after many years of experience and perfecting my craft, I'm excited to share my passion for baking with young learners! Reviews
