Class Description
Transport your senses to a quaint Copenhagen bakery as you learn the time-honored art of crafting authentic Danish pastries. In this advanced hands-on class, you will take your baking skills to the next level as you learn the secrets behind creating flaky, laminated dough that melts in your mouth with each bite, the hallmark of these beloved baked delicacies. Your guide is Pastry Chef Catie Wiley, who joins us after a distinguished career as a pastry chef at several iconic patisseries and restaurants on the East Coast.

You'll begin by preparing the buttery, laminated dough using traditional techniques to develop those irresistible layers. Chef Catie will go into depth on how to laminate the dough.  The term "laminating" in baking describes the technique of repeatedly folding butter into dough to create alternating layers of butter and dough. Next you will learn how to evenly divide and shape your dough into those perfect pastry shapes, preparing them to be filled with an easy sweet cheese filling. Finish your pastry with a drizzle of sweet glaze for a glistening finish.

Whether you're a burgeoning home baker or a Danish devotee, this class will equip you with the skills to recreate these buttery European treats in your own kitchen. By the end of this class, you'll not only have mastered several dough techniques, but also have a batch of irresistible Danish pastries to share with your loved ones or savor yourself.
