The Art of Baking Danish Pastry
700.00 kr.
Do you know the taste of a fresh butter baked Danish pastry? During this hands-on class, you will learn to bake Danish happiness (dansk hygge).
A professional pastry chef with many years of experience will guide you through all the different baking techniques and tips including kneading, rolling and folding a Danish pastry dough with butter. We will make a selection of 4 different kinds of traditional and delicious Danish pastry. For example delicious cinnamon snails, beautifully turned frøsnappere with marzipan remonce and spandauere with custard.
The classes will have a break with coffee/tea, where you can taste some of your Danish pastries and exchange your cultural and baking experiences. You can take the rest of the Danish pastries home and share with your family or friends. You work in pairs, so if you book this class alone, please note that you will work together with another baking enthusiast. But this is also a great chance to meet new people.
What is included
- Ingredients and instruction.
- Coffee and tea.
- Packaging for transport so you can take them home.
- All recipes will be sent by email after the event.
- Some Danish pastry dough that you can freeze and bake at home.
Note
The whole process of making Danish pastry is a challenge and time consuming. We have therefore prepared a dough in advance so we have time to make, bake and taste the Danish pastries. When they rise before being baked, we will then make a new dough from scratch, so you will go through the whole process during the class.
Please note that the class may take a little longer, so we recommend that you arrive 10 minutes before the class starts.
Children
Children from the age of 11 are welcome in the class if they buy a ticket and participate with a paying adult. Children from the age of 13 can participate alone, but please contact me before you book so I can confirm. I only accept paying participants in the kitchen.
Dress code
Wear practical clothes and comfortable flat shoes. Avoid wearing black clothes as you will use flour during most of the class. If you wish to bring your own apron, you are welcome to do so. Alternatively, we provide disposable plastic aprons.
Recipes
Fine detailed recipes are sent to your e-mail after the classes, so it is important that you provide your e-mail address. This also means that you can concentrate on the baking part and take great pictures of your delicious Danish pastries.

I joined the wienerbrød course with Frederic and it was a great experience and such a lovely morning!! The course itself was well done, we learnt every single step of the process of baking wienerbrød but we also baked so many other kinds of danish pastries with the same dough we had! Frederic follows you step by step and explained a lot of what we were doing revealing some small useful secrets in the kitchen..et the end we enjoyed together our baked pastries with a cup of coffee :) it was very much fun and I recommend anybody who is interested in taking part in Frederic's kitchen!

A really fun and hands on class. I have a much greater appreciation for Danish Pastry and pastry in general. Frederic was very informative and patient as he taught us everything we needed to know. A great flow for the class with an overview of all facets of pastry making covered, even with great tips on how to do it home. So really a worthwhile class which I highly recommend. Bonus is you go home with lots of pastry you have made that day and it looks and tastes amazing! Can't wait to do another class with Frederic and the Terrible baking school again soon.

I have lived in Copenhagen for 2 years and have become (dangerously) addicted to Danish pastries. I really enjoyed making them myself. I would highly recommend this class to anyone curious about the art of pastry making.

This was a realy good experience. The class takes 3,5 hours and was planned very well. Frédéric took us through all stages and he gave us usefull tips and tricks. He is a realy good teacher with a good sence of humor. My sisters and I had the best time and if we get the chance some other time, we will try one of the other classes that Frédéric offers.

Det var et virkelig godt kursus. Jeg glæder mig til jeg skal på kursus igen hos Terrible. Ce n'est pas du tout terrible 😜

Kurset blev afholdt i funktionelle, hygiejniske og hyggelige rammer. Der var en god stemning med plads til god sparring, samtidig med, at Frédéric formåede at undervise os på et højt fagligt og professionelt niveau. Beviserne på dette er også det fantastiske bagværk, der blev produktet af kurset. Jeg kan kun give kurset mine varmeste anbefalinger.

I enjoy the class very much as Frédéric is an excellent teacher. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about cooking. He makes sure everyone is having fun in class and time flies during those 3-4 hours
