Fresh Fruit Tarts!

Fresh fruit tart with strawberries, oranges, blueberries, and raspberries made in a BAKE! Ann Arbor baking and cooking class

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 tender tart shell made from pâte sucrée (pronounced, pat-sue-cray), the sweet pastry dough traditionally used for tarts, and whip together a filling of 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 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.

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.
