Learn to make classic French Cakes and Tarts from the newest French Pastry School instructor, Chef Bob Hartwig. He will teach you the basic French doughs such as puff pastry, pâte sable, sweet dough and pâte brisée, and sponges such as biscuits, genoises and dacquoise. From there you will make the foundations of French patisseries; lemon tart, apple tart, chocolate tart, fresh fruit tart, St Honore, mille feuille, and chocolate hazelnut torte. All made and decorated by you, to take home to enjoy with your friends and family.

Before joining the instruction team, in 2006, Chef Bob Hartwig was the Senior Pastry Chef at the Chicago Marriott Downtown. He has also worked at pastry kitchens including Mango, Grapes, and Rhapsody.
