Filled with a light vanilla custard cream, topped with a crispy cookie crust and decorated with homemade fondant. Students will also learn how to weigh out ingredients, mixing in a stand or hand held mixer, piping, and how to bake cream puffs with crispy cookie crust in their own kitchen. Students will also learn why eclairs are important to French culture and a little bit about Shiro-hige's Cream Puff Factory which is one of the most famous bakery shops in Tokyo. Students will learn great baking tips and techniques that will help them understand the art of cream puff making process. What will be taught in two days : Day 1 : Learn how to make a choux pastry for character cream puffs, a crispy cookie crust and how to make vanilla pastry cream (Crème pâtissière) which is a perfect base for many desserts such as fruit tarts, mousses, bavarian creams, ice-cream, and more. Day 2 : Learn how to make homemade fondant to use for pastry, cookie or cake decoration, assemble cream puffs, decorate and present their final product. Students are welcome to be creative and bring their favorite ingredients such as coco, matcha, coffee powder or whatever they think it might go well with cream puff fillings to join in this class.
