Fresh Fruit Tarts!

Fruit tarts are a favorite of food photographers because they look soooo sweet and fresh. When you see too many of them on the covers of glossy magazines, you start to get the idea that they’re for experts only. Don’t believe it.

In this hands-on class, we'll teach you how to make and blind bake a sweet and crisp tart shell made from pâte sucrée (pronounced, pat-sue-cray), the sweet pastry dough traditionally used for tarts, and whip together a filling of our rich vanilla bean pastry cream. Then we’ll compose our tarts together, teaching you how to arrange the fresh fruit on top* in an artful way. Next time you see a succulent tart gracing the cover of Fine Cooking, you won’t be fooled.

You'll leave the BAKE! class with our recipes, the knowledge to recreate them at home, the artful fresh fruit tart you made in class, and some great coupons. 

In-Person: We'll end the in-person class with a tasting of what we made and you'll go home with some great coupons.

Virtual: Please visit our Virtual Class Page for all of the instructions you need to be prepared for class. The most important preparations are measuring all of your ingredients before class, making sure you have all the equipment needed, and being ready to use Zoom.

* VIP Prodution Note: In warmer months, we’ll adorn our tarts with summer’s bounty, from fresh berries to stone fruits. In cooler months, we’ll bring a taste of sunshine to our tarts with a selection of fresh citrus supremes.

Such a fun baking class. Instructors not only teach us, but give each one of us the time and attention to learn and practice. They all are very professional!!! —Jinny S.

Being able to practice new techniques in a class where I can get help & feedback gives me the confidence to try them at home. —Jane B.
