Our instructor Temi was so delightful! So much more than just a baking class. We learned all about the history of these iconic French foods and had a lot of fun making them.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted that Temi made the experience so enjoyable and memorable. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with her! 😊
Very friendly instructor and hands on experience. I will try to make the baguette and pastry at home.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the hands-on experience and hope you have fun recreating your baguette and pastries at home. 😊
The class was so fun! Pierre was super knowledgeable and a delight!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such a fun time and that Pierre made the class enjoyable and engaging. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with him! 😊
Great opportunity to learn about making tasty macaroons, and a little of their history. Take home goody bag as well.
Thanks for baking with us! We are so glad you had a great time learning the history of macarons and making some tasty treats to take home.
From the beginning of this experience to the end, we learned, laughed and enjoyed! Pierre was amazing!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Nina! We are thrilled to hear you had such a fun and educational time baking, and we will be sure to pass your kind words along to Pierre. We hope to bake with you again soon!
Great class, intimate and bread was amazing and the financier cookies were delicious. Had a pastry and coffee first … otherwise you’d eat everything there ! lol
Thank you for joining us! We are so happy you loved the bread and cookies. It is always a good idea to come with an appetite!
Amazing experience in a beautiful (small) bakery. There were seven of us ages 3-60+ and everyone cited the experience as a highlight of our multi-country trip. David brought comedy and education throughout our visit. He took time to get to know each of the kids and upon learning one was interested in baking as a future profession, he spent extra time showing him aspects of the bakery and answering questions. We rolled baguettes, made financiers start to finish and practiced rolling croissants. We are still talking about the financiers and will do our best to make him proud with our US replication. We left with BAGS of bread and pastries that we were able to enjoy throughout our trip. HIGHLY recommend this experience. Note: any young children should be comfortable standing for a few hours and do well with listening and following directions.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We’re absolutely delighted that your whole group found the experience to be a highlight of your trip! We’re so happy David brought plenty of laughs, fun, and delicious baking magic to your day. And leaving with BAGS of bread and pastries? Now that is how you travel through France! We hope the treats kept the Parisian spirit alive throughout the rest of your journey. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation, and we hope to welcome your family back for more flour-covered fun someday!
Sania did an excellent job in providing us with the history of the baguette! She was engaging and it was such a joy to see how passionate she was about this class! She made us feel like real bakers. We had so much fun! I definitely recommend this class! You will have the best time!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Sania brought the history of the baguette to life and made you feel like true French bakers! We love hearing that you had so much fun—Sania’s passion is definitely contagious! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Sania. Keep baking, keep smiling, and we hope to see you again for another delicious Parisian adventure!
Teme gave us a good experience behind the scenes of an excellent Parisian bakery. Thank you!
Merci beaucoup pour votre merveilleux avis ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous avez apprécié cette immersion dans les coulisses d’une excellente boulangerie parisienne. Découvrir la magie de l’envers du décor rend l’expérience encore plus savoureuse ! Nous sommes heureux que notre guide ait contribué à rendre ce moment si mémorable.
We had an outstanding time with Temi! We were lucky enough to do our pastry baking session with just our family of four. She was so informative, fun, and great with the kids! Our boys, 6 and 9, really enjoyed getting to make their own baguettes and pastries. She kept their attention the whole time, and as adults we loved it as well! Temi was simply a joy, highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the fantastic feedback! We are thrilled your family had such a fun and engaging baking session with Temi. We hope to welcome you back for more delicious memories soon!
