The Patissier would like to invite you to join our classic baking programme, designed by The Patisser's very own executive patissier, Ms Tan Siang Yee.

We will teach you the major elements of fine pastry and baking techniques that you've always wanted to know.

Through demonstration and hands-on participation, participants will learn about ingredient functionality, cake mixing methods, cake and pastry bases, cake assembly and presentation.

We will place special emphasis on understanding the delicate balance between the various flavours, aromas, textures and visual elements that go into creating innovative and gorgeous desserts.

In small classes with no more than 10 participants, you will master the details of the techniques used by The Patissier and apply them in creating your own original desserts.
