Tarts: Short Bread Mastery

Join us at Kitchen Barn for a hands-on tart class that will transform how you think about pastry. You'll learn short bread — the classic French sweet tart dough — and master the techniques that separate bakery-quality tarts from the rest: mixing, rolling, lining without tears or shrinkage, and blind baking for a crisp, golden shell. We'll be working with regionally grown, freshly stone-milled flour for a crust with real flavor and character.

We'll then work with three classic fillings — silky lemon curd, vanilla pastry cream, and seasonal strawberry jam — showing how one dough unlocks countless variations.

Each student will take home a lined tart shell ready to bake, filling to finish at home, recipes, and the confidence to tackle any tart recipe. Tarts and Tea will be provided during class.

Ideal for home bakers ready to move beyond pies and anyone looking to add a showstopper dessert to their repertoire. Limited seats — reserve yours today!
