This class is one of Duchess Atelier's most popular classes. We will teach you the Duchess Bake Shop way of making our classic Raspberry White Chocolate Scones. As well as everyone's favourite, Key Lime Tart. Nobody can resist sneaking a taste of a warm Florentine at the end of this class. Learn to make this perfect salty & sweet combo sure to keep you going back for more.
The verdict is in... you LOVE this class, and we do too. One of our most requested recipes in Atelier is for the caramel in the filled shortbreads that greet you at your station when you arrive for a class. We are so happy to include the seasonal flavours of this delicious caramel for you in this class. Want to learn how to get the soft, gooey centre to your meringues and learn what other flavours you can make? How much chocolate really does go into the brownie? We have had the honour of teaching some of Duchess Bake Shop's favourite pastries for almost 10 years, the list of favourites keeps growing so we had to create a new class just for you! Join us while we continue to show you welcome you into our kitchen and share some of our favourite recipes with you.
Enriched breads are yeast products that contain the addition of fat (butter or oil) and eggs. In this highly requested class we are going to cover everyone's favourite addition to brunch, Cinnamon buns! Another very popular type of enriched bread is babka. This soft textured bread is twisted together with chocolate fudge and makes the most beautiful treat.
This rich and buttery dough is always a favourite, with so many different ways to use it! In this class, we will make some of Duchess Bake Shop's most popular brioche desserts. Including the Brioche Pepin - warm, buttery bread filled with a vanilla bean pastry cream and milk chocolate chips, Filled brioche buns - filled with a Brandy spiked custard, warm cinnamon apples and topped with a crunchy oat crumble, and a classic brioche loaf - perfect for French toast, sandwiches or just with a cup of tea. Lastly we will teach you how you can mix this dough by hand without using a stand mixer. This class is perfect for all baking skill levels.
The Duchess cake, also known as the "Swedish Princess Cake" is a pastry classic. Made with light lemon chiffon cake, vanilla bean pastry cream, home made raspberry jam, vanilla bean whipped cream and finished off in the classic dome shape, covered in marzipan. This cake is so fun to make and ever more enjoyable to eat. Each student will assemble & carve their very own Duchess cake to take home and share with friends & family. This class is only around for a very short time each year, take advantage while you can!
Celebrate the season with a selection of festive Easter breads! Create an Easter basket filled with beautiful enriched, soft and aromatic breads. We will cover classic spiced hot cross buns, braided loaves and how to turn a classic French bread into a cute bunny. Turn these breads into the centre piece of your dinner table!
With Easter on the way, take your macaron making skills to the next level. We will learn how to colour macaron batter multiple colours and pipe egg shapes! You will go home with a collection of four flavours, the perfect addition to any easter egg hunt!
Previous macaron making experience is an asset but not required.
Get ready for the Easter Bunny and spend a few hours with us learning how to decorate sugar cookies! We will provide you with all the cookies, royal icing and sprinkles you need to become a cookie decorating master! This class is perfect for both kids and adults! (All attending kids and adults must have their own tickets)
This cake is our favourite cake for spring! It's light, fruity and fresh. When asked what our favourite class is the Lemon Meringue Cake is always at the top of the list. Learn to make the lemon chiffon cake, lemon cream and how to use the blow torch to give it that toasted meringue finish! We will even let you in on a little Bake Shop secret, this cake has a layer of salted caramel we bet you didn't know existed! We think it's what completes this cake in the best way. Blow your family and friends away with this cake!
Baking the perfect pie is something every baker strives for. In this class we will take the fear away from working with pie dough and each make a beautiful Sour Cream Cherry Pie - one of the bake shop's more popular items. We will also try our hand at galettes, a quick hand pie that can be easily whipped up with whatever fruit you have in season. Lastly, it's not a pie class without talking about the dough its self. Each student will go home with some pie dough to continue baking pies at home.
