French Baking Workshop - Le Gâteau Basque

Join us for a delightful pastry workshop and learn how to make a classic Gâteau Basque: a golden, buttery cake filled with creamy custard or cherry jam 🥧

Guided by French Pastry Chef Valentin, you’ll get hands-on with the baking and discover the secrets of this beloved dessert from the southwest of France.

While your cake bakes, take a cultural detour with a lively presentation on the Basque region - famous for its strong identity, stunning landscapes, and of course, incredible food.

No baking experience needed. Just curiosity and a love for good food.

You’ll taste your creation, of course, and head home with the recipe and confidence to make it again (and again…).
