Learn how to master classic French choux pastry and create cream puffs, chouquettes, and filled choux with mascarpone whipped cream and chocolate. Join a hands-on baking workshop guided by a French pastry chef in Sonoma County.
Making the choux pastry dough
Master the base recipe, the right techniques, and the key ratios needed to achieve a smooth, pliable, and perfectly consistent dough.
Piping & baking
Learn to pipe your chouquettes and choux with a pastry bag, then bake them to golden perfection with a light, hollow centre.
Preparing the fillings
Make a mascarpone whipped cream and a rich chocolate filling — two classic French pastry staples you'll use again and again.
Filling & decorating
Fill and decorate your choux from start to finish to create indulgent, elegant pieces that are ready to enjoy.
Perfectly risen cream puffs
Chouquettes with pearl sugar
Choux with mascarpone & chocolate
Each participant actively takes part throughout the session in a warm and friendly atmosphere. By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your own handmade creations, the full recipe, and all the skills needed to recreate them at home — piping, baking, fillings, and decoration included.
