Unsung Heroes of the French Bakery Baking Class
2026-11-07 13:00 - 15:45 (America/Chicago) | Pickwick & Cherry Kitchen, 607 S Pickwick, Rear Door, Springfield, MO, 65802, United States
Croissants may get all the attention, but the French bakery is full of spectacular pastries that deserve a little more glory. Unsung Heroes of the French Bakery celebrates the wonderful cakes, cookies, and pastries that somehow never became American household names.
We’ll explore an assortment of lesser-known French classics, including deeply caramelized canelés, buttery financiers, shell-shaped madeleines, thick and crumbly palets bretons, rum-soaked almond gâteau Nantais, cloud-like merveilleux, rich fondant au chocolat, and other treasures from the French pastry case.
Along the way, we’ll explore the techniques, traditions, textures, and regional quirks that make these deceptively simple pastries so good. No advanced pastry experience is necessary—just come hungry and ready to salute your new favorites.
