Embark on a delectable journey into the world of French Desserts, where we'll explore classic techniques that have delighted taste buds for generations, and pair with a carefully curated recipe.

French pastry is renowned for its delicate textures, exquisite flavors, and elegant presentations. While mastering the art of French dessert making may seem daunting due to its complexity, we'll show you how to make it easy. By breaking down each patisserie technique into manageable steps and mastering them individually, you'll be well-equipped to recreate the delicious desserts found in patisseries and French restaurants. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice, this journey into French patisserie will inspire and elevate your baking skills to new heights.

Under the guidance of Phillip Caramello of Davios, you’ll master pâte à choux, the delicate French dough behind éclairs and cream puffs, learning techniques that ensure perfect rise, texture, and flavor. Through demonstration and hands-on practice, you’ll prepare, bake, and finish your pastries, gaining insight into traditional French methods while exploring refined flavor combinations. This intimate class emphasizes precision, technique, and presentation, offering an unforgettable culinary experience for both enthusiasts and experienced home bakers. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with expert knowledge, a set of beautifully finished pastries, and the confidence to recreate these timeless French treats at home.

This event is part of our Gastronomy & Wine program, an in-depth exploration of French culinary arts and the captivating world of wines.

Chef Caramello

Phillip Caramello was born and raised in Plymouth, MA. His career in Pastry Arts started when he was 15 years old at a well-known French bakery on Boston’s South Shore. At this bakery, he developed and found his passion for creating and preparing desserts as well as pastries. Caramello says “being trained in classical French pastry would be the foundation for my approach to pastry today.” After six years there honing his skill set and obtaining an Associate’s Degree in Culinary Arts, Caramello worked his way through the ranks in all facets of the industry. With over 20 years of experience under his belt, Caramello says “working at Davio’s has been inspiring and motivating, being surrounded by individuals who are passionate about cooking and offering the best quality to our guest” for him it is a perfect fit.
