Tartes in thé Afternoon

annealex16, Jul 2025

Gaielle (sp?) was incredibly well-prepared and organized, which allowed the four of us more time to practice and correct any errors working the dough. It was a comfortable camaraderie that resulted in delicious success and recipes.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed our Iconic French Tarts class with Gaëlle. Her organization and guidance truly help create a relaxed, hands-on experience—and delicious results! We're so glad you felt the warm camaraderie and left with both new skills and sweet memories. ????????????✨

Tart-fully Delicious!

TampaSnu, Jul 2025

My wife and I attended the 3 hour tart making class in July. There were 3 other people in attendance for this class. Gayle(Gail-not sure how to spell her name) was our pastry instructor. She is definitely a quintessential chef- this is a compliment!!! we made 4 tarts- 2 chocolate, 1 almond/pear and 1 lemon meringue. She explained everything excellently and you get the recipes so you can make them again. Unfortunately it was super hot this week so we had to keep putting dough in freezer- but it all worked out in the end. If you are looking for a unique experience I would definitely recommend taking this class. You leave with knowledge and confidence to make several different tarts as well as leaving with the tarts you made- and they were ALL delicious! Thank you Gayle (Gail?) for an awesome experience!!

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 inclusive and funny too!

Baking is a Great thing to do whilst in Francis

DawnW758, Feb 2025

My sister and I decided to buy this for my mum who is 82 in March as a surprise. We had a lovely time and learned a lot. We were lucky enough to share this lesson with two lovely young men from Amsterdam who were enjoying it as much as us. Gale the teacher was fantastic she explained everything in great detail so that we all understood why we were doing each step. We traveled back to England with our treats and I am now 2 days later sat eating the lemon tart while writing this review. It is delicious! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Doing something like cooking made the trip.
