Dessert Classes

Wow. What a busy week. And, it's not even over for me. Yet. Really. But, I am taking a moment to sit here in the quiet of what seems to be a very gray Saturday and sip my coffee. You see, as I was gearing up to teach my first class at the Learning Connection in Providence, I got slammed at work. So, I've been in super high gear for three days (and nights). But, it's all good and I am very much looking forward to a day off tomorrow to just do laundry and loaf around. Of course, I should be visiting my Mother on Mother's Day; however, I scheduled today's Elegant Tart class without taking note of the holiday. Sorry, Mom!

Now, I am a seasoned academic teacher. I spent years in the classroom in a variety of schools with all types of kids. And, I have taught a few private cooking/baking classes. But, this is my first class out in the community of Providence, so it's a different feeling. I am not at all nervous, just very excited to teach my three students how to make some lovely tarts. With such a small class size, I decided to go all out and give them all the opportunity to get their hands into all aspects of tart making. What this meant for me was a lot of prep! I was up late last night making sample fillings and pre-baked crusts and getting all my gear ready. It's only a three hour class, so I am hoping things roll along smoothly.

I hope to have some photos tomorrow; however, it's another gloomy day in the Northeast and my classroom today is a kitchen in a church basement. So, that could be challenging.

I do want to mention my upcoming spring and summer classes for those of you who love food in the Providence area. They are all three hour Saturday classes that take place from 1pm to 4pm in Wayland Square. For more information or to register, click HERE. Scroll down to look for the following classes:

Seasonal Summer Fruit Pies - June 7: Learn how to make a buttery flaky crust and impress everyone with a dessert that never goes out of style.

Sensational Summer Desserts- July 12 and August 9: No fuss desserts for hot summer days! We'll use fresh seasonal ingredients for Fools, Buckles, Crisps, grilled desserts, and more!
