Great experience.

Fantastic course and chef. My son and his girlfriend loved the tart course. The chef was very clear. They came back very enthusiastic. And the 3 tarts they did each were delicious. It was a great success

Great class to make "tartes"

This was a grat class for "tarte" making. I finally learned how to make a great dough for my favorite "tarte aux fruits". We made three different versions to take home and the instructor, Gaelle, was super engaging and knowledgeable. Really recommend this class.

I came to Pâtisserie a la Carte from the uk to enhance my pastry skills a bit more. Honestly, I can say that this was one of the best experiences in my life, I booked 4 classes with Gaëlle and Marie, both lovely people. Hopefully my business can take off and with the help of these guys I’ll be able to lift off with what they taught me. I recommend anyone coming here whether you are a pastry fanatic or wanting to just have a fun one off class in the heart of Paris - go crazy! They are incredibly ...read more
