French Pastry Series: Madeleines and Financier with Chef Bridget Charters
July 26 2025 | 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM2000 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
The Hot Stove Society is continuing its successful French Pastry classes, and our next installment is on Madeleines and Financier! Both of these French treats are similar in nature and originate in different parts of France and became popular with the development of the metal French pastry molds. Both contain butter, eggs, flour and such, but each have a slightly different technique and a different mold.
In this class Bridget and the Hot Stove team will teach you the basic rules of both small cakes, then you will roll up your sleeves and make the batter and learn to bake both types of cakes. You will head home with a warm bundle of cakes to enjoy... if you can make it! Like the other classes in the series, this is a fabulous class to bring your young bakers to learn, these techniques you will have for the rest of your life. Join us!
