What to Expect in the Masterclass

While there’s plenty of baking to be done, this experience also comes with a touch of luxury—breakfast, lunch, and a glass of wine are all included. After all, what French patisserie experience would be complete without a glass of wine?!

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Start the Day with Breakfast
Kick off the day with a warm welcome and a delicious breakfast spread of fresh pastries, tea, and coffee. It’s the perfect way to set a relaxed, friendly tone, giving you a chance to meet fellow participants and ease into the atmosphere before diving into the hands on baking courses ahead.

Bake Signature French Patisseries
Under Eric’s expert guidance, try your hand at classic French desserts, beginning with a pistachio Paris-Brest, a choux pastry filled with rich pistachio cream. Next, you’ll create a luxurious gianduja and passion fruit entremet, learning fine cake decorating techniques and presentation skills that add elegance to your bakes. The final treat is les financiers, where you’ll add a unique Middle Eastern twist with pistachio and Persian rose, making this class a diverse exploration of French patisserie.

Enjoy a Lunch Break with Wine
Halfway through the class, you’ll pause for a well-deserved lunch break with a glass of wine. This is a chance to relax, enjoy good food, and share baking tips and stories with your team of baking enthusiasts. The social side of this experience adds a lively element, helping you connect with others who share your passion for baking courses.

Take Home Your Creations
As the day wraps up, you’ll leave with more than just new skills. Take home all the delicious treats you’ve created, along with a recipe folder to recreate them in your own kitchen, a Cake Boy apron as a keepsake, and a voucher for the Cake Boy shop. This ensures that your baking journey doesn’t end here and gives you the tools to continue practising what you’ve learned.

With only six participants, the small group size ensures plenty of personalised attention from Eric. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, receive hands-on guidance, and see techniques demonstrated up close. As a great teacher, Eric’s approachable style and practical tips make the learning process enjoyable and easy to follow, whether you’re a beginner or already have some baking experience.

This masterclass is more than just a lesson—it’s a full experience. With expert instruction, fantastic food, and a friendly group, you’ll have a lovely time and come away with new skills, great memories, and some truly delicious bakes.
