Beginner Level
Learn how to make this classic, creamy French dessert. Top with caramelized sugar and fresh fruit and you have an amazing, restaurant-worthy dessert! It's also gluten-free! In this class, we will be mixing everything from scratch and baking the créme brulée in the oven. Students will prepare the custard on the stovetop, mix all ingredients together, and learn how to cook them in the oven in a water bath. At the end of class, I will demonstrate how to make a caramelized sugar topping under the broiler so students can complete it on their own when they serve their dessert. Class Instruction will include: - demonstration and discussion of measuring and mixing techniques - demonstration of heating ingredients to the proper temperature - demonstration of 'tempering' eggs as we mix ingredients - preparing custards for baking and water bath - modeling of proper oven usage and safety I will model the process of preparing the créme brulée in my kitchen as the student follows along while making their own. Students will need extra time after class to finish baking their creme brulee, around 30-40 minutes. Optional garnish will take about 15 minutes to prepare and cook upon serving. This is a highly interactive class and students are encouraged to ask questions as we cook together! Limited parental supervision is required for this class since we will be using the stovetop, oven, and handling hot pans and water. Everything that you will need for this class is included in the materials section below.

Parental Guidance
Limited parental supervision is required for this class since we will be using the oven, stovetop, and handling very hot pans.
** Creme brulee is cooked in a water bath which involves filling a 13x9 pan with simmering hot water and placing the small custard cups inside it to bake. Students may need assistance taking the heavy pan in and out of the oven for safety reasons.

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, and cookies. 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 also have been teaching online for the past 5 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!
