Washington is blessed with an extraordinary diversity of fruit, and each fruit presents its own unique challenges for bakers, from selecting the correct ripeness to achieving a texture that suits the dessert being made. In this class, join Rosalie Cass and dive into summer fruit while making trays of delicious petit fours — tiny, self-contained cakes demonstrating French techniques and visual styling. On the menu: mango petit fours with mango yogurt mousse, classic mirror glaze, and matcha cookie; strawberry petit fours with chiffon cake and honey syrup; and blackberry basil petit fours with honey chantilly cream.
