The French Opera Cake, or "Opéra Gâteau”, originated in Paris in the 20th century. Pastry chefs Cyriaque Gavillon and Louis Clichy created this masterpiece, a hallmark of Parisian luxury. It consists of layers of jaconde sponge cake, coffee syrup, buttercream, chocolate ganache and chocolate glaze. And to give it that classic signature - chocolate to write with on top! In this class you will learn how to make the components, assemble them, and finish with a shiny chocolate glaze. And, if you are adventurous, write “Opéra" on your masterpiece in chocolate to finish that classic look! Included in the class is a recipe packet (both printed and .pdf file sent after class) listing tools needed and recipes for items made in class. Instructor: Evelyn Schichner
Thursday, 6-9pm. Nov. 21 The cost of tuition includes all food materials and fees.
