It’s tradition; every Father’s Day, I bake Italian Cornetti (Italian Croissants). They are my hubby’s favourite, and he loves them for breakfast on Father’s Day morning. So we will be just in time with one week before the Aussie Father’s Day. Or then again, we can just learn to make Italian Cornetti for ourselves!! Ha!

I have had many requests for this class in the past and have decided to proceed. It will definitely be a challenge to squeeze three days worth of ‘cornetti’ pastry preparation into four hours, however, I have a plan to achieve baked cornetti for everyone to try and take home!

This cooking class is mostly hands-on, with some demonstration.
