Step into a gentle afternoon of French pâtisserie, where delicate technique meets simple pleasure.

This hands-on choux pastry workshop invites you to discover the art of creating light, golden éclairs and delicate choux from scratch. Together, we’ll prepare the pâte à choux, understand the balance of moisture and structure, and pipe each piece with care and precision. You’ll learn how to achieve that perfect rise — crisp on the outside, soft and airy within — and how to bake them to a beautiful, even finish.

We’ll then explore a selection of classic fillings, from silky vanilla diplomate cream to rich chocolate pastry cream, guiding you through each step so you can recreate them with confidence at home.

As the choux bake, we pause to gather around a beautifully set table and enjoy a Bloom-style high tea. A thoughtful selection of sweet and savoury creations is served, inspired by French pâtisserie and made with fresh, locally sourced New Zealand ingredients. Paired with tea, coffee, and a glass of bubbles, it’s a moment to slow down, connect, and savour the afternoon.

You’ll leave with:

– A full hands-on experience, from start to finish
– A printed recipe booklet
– A box of your own handmade choux creations
– The confidence to recreate them in your own kitchen

Workshops are held in small groups, creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere where every detail matters.

All previous workshops have filled quickly — early booking is recommended.
