About this event

Within this class you will make fresh Madelines, a Pistachio financier, make a creme brulee, and construct your very own gateau Opera (a famous cake throughout the world over) made with a Chocolate ganache, French buttercream, and an espresso soaked almond sponge cake.

The Art of French Desserts is Codex's most popular class, navigating enthusiasts through the subtle nuances of almond biscuit preparation, making a genuine French Buttercream, and a Chocolate Ganache.

There are some innovative techniques along the way including a direct injection Ganache, and a cold process method to making the Creme brulee.

Frequently asked questions

Special note regarding attendance

These are live events, unlike attending a concert or a movie, we ask to start punctually and for the consideration of the Instructor and fellow students ask to be on time and show up 15 minutes before class starts to account for traffic delays or construction (especially on weekends).

What happens if only one person is scheduled for a class date?

Occasionally when a sufficient amount of people haven't scheduled (such as just one person having booked a class date), you may expect a call and or email to reschedule for a another class with more people, to justify hosting the class, at this juncture you can elect to reshedule or get a refund.

what's your policy on refunds, can I cancel if something comes up?

You have the choice of a credit for a future class or a refund to your original payment method 7 days before class starts. Same day reschedule requests, no shows are not refundable, all sales are final.

Pastry Codex's motto is that we ..."create memories crystallized in time", our "Halo" events such as "the Mad Hatter Tea Party" or our newly released "Traditional French Classics" Dessert class, are more comprehensive and grander in scope, encompassing proprietary techniques, recipes, unlike anything currently being offered.

Codex wants to be regarded as a "destination point" or an Attraction, similar to a museum while visiting the Metropolitan Washington area for something that is immersive, educational, immersive, hands on, and fun to do as a perfect date night, family outing, Corporate event, Bachelorette party, Birthday party and so on.

As a testimonial to nearly consistent 5 star reviews, find out why people enjoy taking a class and learning some new skills in an easy going, relaxed atmosphere, with no pressure no worries.
