WEA Croissant Masterclass at The Old Croissant Factory

You'll master the basic rules for baking croissants at home in this WEA masterclass with Pastry Chef Chakey Kim.

Chakey will help you understand ingredients and their role in croissant dough.

You'll learn how to prepare, how to control the temperature, and learn about the lamination technique and shaping and proofing.

This is a demonstration course with some opportunity for hands on preparation.

Enjoy sampling the croissants you make with some extra baked goods to take home.

Chakey is originally from Korea and began her pastry journey in 1998 as a pastry chef in Seoul.

Driven by a desire to grow and refine her skills, Chakey moved to Melbourne in 2004, immersing herself in kitchens across the city to gain real industry experience, hands-on knowledge, and a deeper understanding of pastry craft.

In 2009, Chakey settled in Adelaide, where she became well known in the local pastry scene. As the owner-chef behind French pastry shops such as Au Matin Calme, By Blackbird, and The Old Croissant Factory on Hutt Street, she has a reputation for producing some of the city's finest croissants.
