King Cake Baking Class

Have you ever dreamed of making your own king cake? Florence and Jade are here to make your dream come true, here at Ginette, a cozy French cafe in the heart of Dalston.

Learn to make a traditional king cake with us, from start to finish. We will make rough puff pastry from scratch, as well as the most delicious frangipane cream. We will then assemble the cake and bake it, and of course, have our very own king cake celebration!

You will leave with your own rough puff pastry to use at home, whether it is to make another king cake, or whichever sweet or savory pastry your heart desires.

Who has never wanted to become a baker as a child? Turning flour, butter, eggs, and other ingredients into a delicious treat is a magical thing to children and grown-ups alike.

So, step into your inner child, and let's get baking.

Florence and Jade are a funky mother-daughter duo with a love for good food. Together, they teach workshops on all things delicious with only two goals in mind: having fun and satisfying tastebuds!

Florence is a self-taught pastry chef who specializes in baking with food restrictions: less sugar, less fat, gluten-free... She does it all! Having a sweet tooth, she started baking upon noticing the low offer of healthy but satisfying pastries in France. Over the years, she has perfected her craft and taken her knowledge to different countries.

Jade, on the other hand, focuses more on cooking. After ending up in a small town in central France where none of the restaurants were to her liking, she decided to start cooking and "bring the restaurant home". She is very interested in the whys and hows of food, is always researching new techniques, and is currently studying for a breadmaking certificate.
