Fraisier Baking Class 8/9/25

Step into the world of Parisian pâtisseries without ever leaving our kitchen. There is one cake that stands above the rest, a true icon of French elegance and the celebration of summer: the Fraisier. Its beauty is breathtaking, its taste, sublime. And in this class, you will learn to master it from start to finish.

Imagine a cake that is a work of art. Two layers of feather-light, almond-kissed Genoise sponge soaked in a delicate syrup. Nestled between them is the heart and soul of the cake: a divinely rich yet impossibly light Crème Mousseline, studded with a hidden garden of sweet, fresh strawberries. The cake is then encased in a signature, jewel-like ring of perfectly sliced, ruby-red berries, creating a stunning visual that will draw gasps of admiration.

This dessert’s architectural beauty may seem like an impossible dream to create at home, but we are here to unlock its secrets with you. In this immersive, hands-on class, we will patiently guide you through each essential step:

• The Perfect Genoise: Learn the French technique for a light, airy, and stable sponge that provides the perfect foundation.
• The Luscious Crème Mousseline: We will demystify this classic cream—a silky, vanilla-bean flecked pastry cream enriched with butter—and teach you how to achieve its signature velvety texture.
• The Jewel-Box Assembly: Discover the precise technique for lining the cake ring with strawberries to create that iconic, professional pattern. This is where the magic truly happens!
• Pâtisserie Finishing: Learn how to apply a flawless top layer and add the final decorative touches that make your Fraisier look like it came straight from a shop window on the Rue Saint-Honoré.

This class is for the baker who is ready to elevate their skills and create something truly spectacular. You will leave with your own magnificent Fraisier cake, the recipe for success, and the confidence to recreate this showstopper for any special occasion.

Let’s create a taste of Paris, together.
