Join Guest Chef Alex Peña for a fun and delicious breakfast pastries class where we’ll make a variety of sweet treats that are perfect for starting your day! In this hands-on class, we’ll guide you through the steps of making a cinnamon-encrusted coffee cake, Magdalenas, and a fun twist on a classic Mexican pastry—besos!
What you’ll make:
-
Cinnamon Coffee Cake: Learn to make a rich, cinnamon swirl coffee cake, with the option to add walnuts or pecans. Each student will create their own ¼ sheet (9.5" x 15") cake, perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own.
-
Magdalenas: These are scone-like, raisin-infused pastries that are the Mexican version of the French Madeleine. We’ll teach you how to shape and bake them, and you can add your choice of sprinkles or nuts on top for extra flavor and texture.
-
Besos: We’ll also show you how to create besos—a sweet pastry filled with raspberry filling and coated in coconut. These little "kisses" are fun to make and even more fun to eat!
By the end of the class, you’ll have a collection of delicious, homemade breakfast pastries to enjoy at home. Whether you’re new to baking or looking to expand your skills, this class is perfect for anyone who loves sweet, comforting treats.
