Middle Schoolers: Join us for after-school Maker Mondays at BARN this fall! This six-week program will be held in our Kitchen Arts Studio with our illustrious teaching chef Marcela Sandoval.
Pastry is a science as well as an art form that requires time and patience. This series will explore techniques to produce pastry perfection. Each session will allow students to grow and develop skills as well as learn the importance of cleanliness and washing as they work.
Session 1 - Custards and Cremes
Learn to make fillings for your favorite pastry.
Session 2- Pies and Tarts
Rolling the perfect dough takes practice. We will learn a simple and delicious recipe and take home an apple galette.
Session 3 – Meringue 
From Eaten Mess to Macaroons, this class will focus on the art of the perfectly whipped meringue. Learn to use a pastry bag to form perfect treats.
Session 4 - Cupcakes and Butter Cream Frosting
We will make and bake light and fluffy vanilla cupcakes topped with a naturally flavored chocolate buttercream. Our piping techniques will be practiced once again and all will bring home approximately 8-10 completed cupcakes.
Session 5 - Gingerbread Cookies
Just in time for the holidays! We'll put our technical skills to the test to produce and decorate the perfect holiday cookie.
Session 6 - Pâte à Choux
Pâte à Choux is a very different kind of dough which is used from churros to eclairs. Our final class is a culmination of all we have learned. More piping techniques as well as fillings to produce sweet eclair treats.
Everything is made in the BARN Kitchen from scratch.
