Patisserie Course with Will Torrent
Our next Patisserie course is Christmas themed in December. Head over to the Christmas Patisserie or Christmas Chocolate course to learn what tasty treats will be baked.
Course Overview
With some of the most stimulating and sophisticated techniques, Patisserie is the fine art of baking. If you are someone who is impressed by the skills of beautiful patisserie creations and wish you had the techniques and confidence to re-create them yourself, then our patisserie courses could be just the thing for you.
During your tuition on this one-day patisserie course, you will be part of a friendly group on an action-packed schedule led by Will Torrent – a professional award winning patisserie chef. You’ll leave us not only with a new set of skills in the art of patisserie but also all the delicious mouth-watering creations that you will be making throughout the day. You don’t even have to worry about the washing up. We take care of all of that so you can focus and enjoy the day.
