This exclusive three-day intensive masterclass is designed for professionals and dedicated pastry artisans who value quality, tradition, and precise execution. We bridge the gap between passion and production, empowering you to create refined cakes and patisserie while strengthening the technical foundation necessary to grow your business.
Our goal is to equip you with the skills to produce exceptional quality consistently — transforming your creative vision into structured, profitable production. Chef Jenna Leurquin will guide you through professional techniques in cakes, entremets, and classic pastry, with a strong focus on texture, balance, structure, and finish.
This is not a recipe-based workshop. By the end of the program, you will understand why each step matters — from sponge preparation and mousse stability to glazing, layering, and final presentation. We will also discuss ingredient quality, equipment selection, workflow organization, and production efficiency to ensure reliable, repeatable results.
Each participant will work hands-on to produce and assemble a range of products and will take home their creations.
