Creative Patisserie - 3 Days

Creative Patisserie - 3 Days

Patisserie products are created in every bakery by combining many different individual elements together. It's always a balance of flavour, texture, sweet and savoury.

This fast paced 3-day course covers a large variety of fundamental recipes and techniques; pastry bases, custards and creams, ganaches and cremeux, meringues, curds and compote, caramels and brittles. Students will produce more than 15 elements and then have the opportunity, with guidance, to create a unique final product range to take home and enjoy.

The possibilities for final products are endless, but could include:

• Chocolate eclair with dark chocolate cremeux, passionfruit curd and pistachio namelaka
• Banoffee choux bun with salted caramel sauce, banana namelaka and creme diplomat
• Deep filled tart with hazelnut dacquoise, chocolate cremeux, hazelnut mousseline and apricot gel
• Craquelin eclair with raspberry gel, whipped white chocolate ganache and black sesame mousseline

This intensive course is suitable for home bakers, and may be of interest to those looking to start a career in patisserie or people creating dessert tables for events and weddings.

Wherever possible seasonal and foraged ingredients will be used.

Note: gelatine is used in multiple recipes on this course. If you require non-pork gelatine, please state this when booking.

The course takes place in the School’s bakery training facility, using professional and domestic equipment. All products on the course are available to take home, along with recipes and technical notes.

Students will not take any products home on Days 1 and 2 as all products will be finished on Day 3. The School of Artisan Food makes a conscious effort to reduce waste and packaging. Students are encouraged to bring plenty of their own containers to transport their products home on Day 3.

Refreshments will be available throughout each day, as well as lunch prepared by our catering team. All ingredients, equipment, and recipes will be provided.

The School of Artisan Food is nestled in the heart of Sherwood Forest on The Welbeck Estate, Nottinghamshire, just a few minutes from the A1 and M1.
