“What an awesome experience! 10/10 and the teacher, Joel, was super fun, approachable, friendly and funny! Loved the ample amount of parties we got to make and take home! Absolutely loved being able to taste Joel’s batch straight from the oven and also take home another batch of dough that we made during the class!”
“Super fun class with a hilarious and highly skilled pastry chef! Learnt so much and had so much fun with everyone there - would definitely recommend this course for anyone! (It was my first ever baking class and I absolutely loved it!)”
“An amazing class with Joel - he is very skilled and a great teacher!
Would recommend this to anyone even if you’ve never baked before in your life. :)”
“I purchased this class for my daughter as a birthday gift for us to do together (after a previously unsuccessful at home attempt to make croissants many years ago).
Joel was fantastic, patient and very knowledgeable about all things pastry! His explanation and process of how to fold and roll dough to make some very delicious, crispy and flaky croissants was amazing. The 5 1/2 hours went so quickly and we learnt so much. We enjoyed some croissants and fruit pastries with cups of coffee and tea and took some home for my family and friends to enjoy. The whole experience was well worth the value!”
“Don’t hesitate to book this class! We had an incredible day full of fun. Lots of hands on opportunities and two boxes of pastries to take home to share with family and friends at the end of a long days work. Joel was personable and imparted a lot of knowledge and skills to us to enable us to make it again at home. Thank you for a great experience!”
“The pastries learnt today have given myself a fulfilled, proud and additional knowledge to the origins of French culture.
I am appreciative to have learnt an amazing skill and facilitator/Chef Joel has been helpful when assisting each class member throughout the process and genuine in his feedback. Thank you again”
“Excellent class! We learned the art and technique of making croissants. Joel Barda is a French, Cordon Bleu pastry chef and was very passionate and engaging. My whole went and we all enjoyed the class. I would highly recommend top others who like or are interested in baking.”
“A wonderful day spent learning from Joel, Le Marais bakery. Sensational croissants and wonderful Danish pastries. So delicious.
I highly recommend a day spent with Joel who is passionate with what he creates”
