Learn classic French pastry techniques in a hands-on, two day masterclass focused on mille feuille, also known as napoleons, made with puff pastry from scratch. Held at Annie’s Signature Sweets baking school in Berea and led by Pastry Chef Ann LoParo, this experience emphasizes individual work so each participant mixes, laminates, shapes, bakes, fills, and assembles their own dessert. There are no premade doughs or take and bake elements. The dough rests overnight between sessions to develop flavor and achieve proper layers, and everyone leaves with a completed pastry. Along the way, you will make a silky pastry cream, learn how to incorporate butter into your dough, and practice the steps that build confidence for recreating these recipes at home. Ann is a graduate of Johnson and Wales University and a professional pastry chef and instructor whose classes have been featured in national publications. Enrollment is limited to seven participants to allow for personalized guidance. This class is for ages 17 and older. Students under 18 must provide a completed parental consent form.
