Welcome to Serena’s most popular workshop—Cape Town’s go-to croissant class for people who want to decompress and actually learn.

We keep it calm, supportive, and super hands-on.

You’ll master lamination step-by-step, understand the science (so dough finally behaves in South African weather), and leave confident enough to do it again at home—no guesswork.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Dough fundamentals: mixing, gluten development and chill curves

• Lamination, step by step (block size, butter plasticity, turns and thickness)

• Rolling, cutting and shaping classic croissants (tight rolls, neat tips)

• Fermentation and proofing: temperature, time and “ready-to-bake” markers

• Baking strategy: heat, steam, colour and that shatter-thin crust

• Troubleshooting: butter leaks, weak layers, tunnelling, flat feet—fixed

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 6 baked croissants you make in class (crispy, buttery, photo-ready)

• A laminated dough to take home and finish baking later

• All ingredients and equipment provided

Chef hats, aprons, madeleines, jam and tea included too

WHY THIS CLASS IS UNIQUE

• Always sold out—for a reason: small group, premium coaching, real results

• Techniques adapted to South African flours, butter and ovens

• Clear systems and checklists so you can repeat success at home

WHO IT’S FOR

Curious beginners, ambitious home bakers, and pros who want consistent, bakery-level layers without industrial gear.
