Financiers & Madeleines

Join us for a delightful hands-on baking class where we explore two elegant French treats perfect for tea time and special occasions:

• Financiers – tender almond tea cakes enriched with nutty browned butter, known for their delicate crumb and golden edges. 
• Madeleines – classic shell-shaped sponge cakes with a light, buttery texture and signature hump. 

In this class, you'll make Financiers from scratch - learning how to brown butter, mix a delicate (gluten-free) batter, and bake them to golden perfection. You'll also learn how to prepare and bake Madeleines. You’ll pick up pro tips for achieving their light texture and signature hump.

What you’ll learn:

• The art of browning butter for depth of flavor.
• Tips for working with almond flour and achieving the perfect financier texture.
• Techniques for mixing, resting, and baking madeleine batter to ensure their signature rise.
• Finishing touches: dusting, glazing, and creative flavor variations.

This class is for home bakers of all levels who want to expand their French pastry repertoire and impress guests with elegant, café-worthy treats. 
During the class you'll glaze and sample madeleines fresh out of the oven and then head home with a box of your own financiers — and the confidence to recreate them anytime.

Class runs about 2 hours long and all supplies are provided. Kindly note this class is for adults 18+ years old.
