What to expect
You'll arrive at the kitchen space and receive a brief introduction to your instructor and the day's pastries. Expect hands-on instruction covering ingredient selection, mixing, shaping, and baking techniques specific to Sicilian confectionery. The class moves at a practical pace—you're working with real dough and batters, not watching demonstrations. Once items finish baking, you'll taste them whilst still warm. The instructor will explain the historical and regional significance of each sweet. By the end, you'll have made multiple pastries from start to finish.
