The Gourmet Dessert Course is two intensive days of working on at least six delicious recipes, all with many technical elements to them. 

A huge amount of skills will be covered including - choux with craqueline, crème au beurre, fruit inserts, brulée inserts, crème patissière, mousseline, pain de Gène, mirror glaze (glaçage), white glaze, sabayon mousse, gelatine mousse, biscuit bases, chocolate decoration, jaconde, caramelised nuts, ganache glaze, liqueur syrup and caramel fondant (NB, types of desserts may be subject to change....and if they are it'll only be for the better!).

Not only do you get to take home a variety of the stunning creations, you'll have the recipes, new skills and confidence to tackle them in the future to impress friends and family!

Since we cover so much on the two days, making the recipes will be shared between all the attendees (max 3), and tasks will be rotated so that everyone gets a chance to experience as much as possible! 

This course is perfect for those who are already keen in the kitchen and wanting to refine their skills and recipe knowledge. For those of you who are not so comfortable in the kitchen, the Handmade Chocolate Courses are a very good place to start! The Gourmet Desserts Course is a fairly fast paced course, with the majority of the time spent on your feet.
