A Celebration of Seasonal Tarts
There is something wildly satisfying about a well-made tart. Crisp, buttery pastry. Silky fillings. Bright fruit. Savory layers. In this hands-on baking class, we’ll explore the foundations of seasonal tarts — both sweet and savory — so you can confidently make them at home year-round.
We’ll begin with the essential building block: properly made tart dough. You’ll learn how to mix, rest, roll, and blind-bake pastry for crisp, golden results (no soggy bottoms here). From there, we’ll move into a rotating lineup of fillings inspired by what’s fresh and flavorful right now.
Expect a beautiful seasonal fruit tart with pastry cream or frangipane, a rich chocolate tart with balanced sweetness, and a savory tart that highlights vegetables, cheese, and herbs. We’ll also tackle a rustic free-form galette — the relaxed, unfussy cousin of the classic tart — perfect for entertaining or weeknight baking.
Along the way, we’ll cover texture control, proper baking temperatures, preventing shrinkage, and how to adapt these recipes to whatever produce is in season. You’ll leave with recipes, techniques, and the confidence to improvise.
Whether you love elegant patisserie-style desserts or crave something savory and satisfying, this class will expand your pastry repertoire in the most delicious way possible.
Come ready to roll dough, taste everything, and leave with a box full of beautiful tarts.
