Whether you call them Napoleons, Vanilla Slice, Custard Slice or gâteau de mille-feuilles (which translates to 'thousand layers' in French) you’ll love these deliciously decadent, fantastically flakey pastries! Join Mary Strorey for a fun evening class making these French* Delicacies.

This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:

YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child

YES: Couples/Roommates (live in the same household)

YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)

*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a single batch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)

We provide aprons, recipes, all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.

Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.

*There is some debate as to the actual origins of these delicious pastries…some say they were created by a Danish Pastry Chef and was first served on the occasion of a state visit by the French emperor Napoleon. Others claim the pastry was first created by an Italian chef in Naples who named it "napoletano" after his city, and the name was later corrupted to "napoleon" in English. Did you know the first written record of Napoleon Pastries is in an English Cookbook written by a French Chef in 1733, but the first mention in a French Cookbook wasn’t until 1749…hmmmm!?! The plot thickens.
