Discover the elegance of French pastry craftsmanship in the Travel Cakes Workshop at Le Cordon Bleu Dusit. Designed for pastry enthusiasts and aspiring professionals, this intensive hands-on workshop focuses on the techniques behind gâteaux de voyage - refined cakes created to retain flavour, texture and freshness while travelling or being stored.
Under the guidance of Le Cordon Bleu Master Chefs, participants will prepare two contemporary creations: Citron Financier, a bright and elegant lemon-based cake, and Genmaicha Hazelnut Pound Cake, combining roasted tea notes with the richness of hazelnut. Throughout the workshop, participants will develop a deeper understanding of batter formulation, confectionery fillings, glazing, piping, assembly and professional finishing techniques.
