Prestige Patisserie

Aspiring patissiers and home bakers seeking professional French pastry techniques find their perfect match at Prestige Patisserie, an award-winning artisan bakery in Tottenham, North London. Led by Geanina and George Ursache, semi-finalists on Bake Off: The Professionals 2021, the school specialises in luxury celebration cakes, wedding cakes, and Great Taste award-winning desserts crafted from scratch.

The curriculum spans classic French patisserie fundamentals through to advanced laminated dough techniques. Classes cover everything from delicate macarons and choux pastry to rich chocolate cakes and signature honey cake creations. Each session maintains small group sizes of maximum six participants, ensuring personalised guidance throughout the learning process.

The Macaron Masterclass teaches shell-making fundamentals, proper piping techniques for consistent results, and ganache preparation including white chocolate vanilla and pistachio rose varieties. Students master colour application whilst learning to avoid common pitfalls like cracks and uneven surfaces. The Choux Pastry & Éclair Masterclass covers pastry creation from scratch, piping éclairs and choux puffs, vanilla crème pâtissière preparation, and chocolate glazing techniques.

More intensive offerings include the Medovik Honey Cake Masterclass, where participants bake individual honey cake discs and assemble six delicate layers with burnt honey frosting using professional techniques. The Puff Pastry Masterclass spans six hours, teaching traditional lamination through rolling and folding, creating both savoury cheese puffs and sweet apple turnovers. Each class includes welcome canapés, Prosecco, and refreshments, with students taking home their complete creations plus recipe booklets.

The school suits dedicated home bakers ready to refine their skills alongside beginners eager to learn from industry experts in a warm, professional bakery setting.
