Dan's Paris Brest

Join the brilliant Dan Beasley Harling (GBBO, series 9) live from London who will teach you the art of baking the perfect Paris Brest. Part of our Patisserie Collection, a Paris–Brest is a French dessert, made of choux pastry and a praline flavoured cream. Absolutely delicious and a French classic.

We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Dan's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons & bake along as you watch Dan demonstrate all the skills.

Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Dan.
