Middle Schoolers: Join us for after-school Maker Mondays At BARN! This five-week program will be held in our Kitchen Arts Studio with our illustrious teaching chef Marcela Sandoval.
Pastry is a science as well as an art form that requires time and patience. This series will explore techniques to produce pastry perfection. Each session will allow students to grow and develop skills as well as learn the importance of cleanliness and washing as they work.
Session 1 - Cookies and Royal Icing
A simple and delicious way to start us off. We will practice rolling dough and enjoy the art of royal icing.
Session 2 - Seasonal Galette
Using the techniques and skills from the previous class, we will roll more dough and take home a simple and delicious fruit galette (rustic tart).
Session 3 – Meringue
This class will focus on the art of the perfectly whipped meringue and how to fold it into other ingredients. Learn to use a pastry bag to form perfect treats.
Session 4 - Swiss Roll
A light and airy sponge cake filled with a custard. This class allows participants to grow and practice the techniques learned in the previous classes as well as take home a delicious treat to share.
Session 5 - Pâte à Choux Cream Puffs
Pâte à Choux is a very different kind of dough which is used from churros to eclairs. Our final class will be a culmination of all we have learned.
Everything is made in the BARN Kitchen from scratch.
