In this immersive, hands-on class, you’ll bake your way through five iconic pastries, each tied to a different country’s pre-Lenten celebration. We’ll start in France with a shimmering galette des rois, layered with crisp puff pastry and almond frangipane, complete with a crown and the hidden fève. Then we head north for pillowy semlor — cardamom buns overflowing with almond paste and clouds of whipped cream.
Next, it’s time for the fryer. You’ll make golden pączki, the rich, Polish doughnuts traditionally eaten before Lent, along with delicate Italian angel wings dusted generously in powdered sugar. And finally, we circle back to the States to finish with a fragrant Louisiana King Cake, braided, baked, and lavishly frosted in Mardi Gras colors.
You’ll leave with a feast of pastries, a kitchen full of good stories, and a deep appreciation for how many cultures celebrate this deliciously indulgent season. It’s a little chaotic, a little glittery, and absolutely unforgettable — exactly how Carnival should be.
