Before you go
Petits gâteaux: miniature cakes with singular complexity and layers of flavor
What you'll learn
You’ll learn the technique for making a choux pastry from scratch. This pastry essential is highly versatile and useful for profiteroles, eclairs, or (in this case), a crown-shaped dessert called Paris-Brest. You will also learn the technique for puff pastry: the basis for détrempe and double and simple twists.
The baba, a leavened sponge cake that’s soaked in a rum syrup with citrus and topped with a mango-passion glaze, cannot be missed.
To finish things off, the Joconde biscuit: a sponge cake made from flour, sugar, butter, egg yolks, stiff egg whites, and ground almonds.
You will learn about pastry cream derivatives, such as crème mousseline and chiboust. You will also explore flavor options, like fresh fruit and nut paste.
You will see how to incorporate extra elements into classic chantilly to elevate the end flavor – in this case, vanilla and mascarpone.

Absolutely fantastic
Excellent instructions, clear, thorough, relevant, concise. I can't say enough nice things about this chef. And the pastries are a great selection of representative classical French pastries modernized for the 21st century. My favorite on Scoolinary and highly recommended.
