The Art of Faux Pâtisserie — 18th & 19th August 2025

Join us for a two-day creative workshop at the Fake Food Workshop in Kirkcudbright. You’ll learn the techniques behind casting, painting, and assembling your own collection of classic faux patisserie in a relaxed, small group setting, with expert guidance every step of the way.

Over the two days, you’ll complete a classic gingerbread biscuit, three French-style macarons (cast in Jesmonite), a fruit tart, and a traditional éclair — all yours to take home once completed and carefully dried. To finish your creations, you’ll have access to our amazing workshop collection of pre-made faux fruits, sprinkles, and all manner of scrumptious toppings. While there won’t be time to sculpt the toppings from scratch, you’ll be free to dive into the selection and decorate your pâtisserie as refined — or as wonderfully extravagant — as you like.

What’s included: a two-day hands-on course, small group tutoring (maximum 6 participants), all materials and tools provided, and your finished pieces carefully dried and posted to you after the workshop.

Lunch break is from 1:00–2:00 pm each day. Lunch is not provided, but there are lots of excellent local places nearby to grab something delicious.

Dates and times: 18th & 19th August 2025, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm each day.

Location: Fake Food Workshop, Riverside Mill, Kirkcudbright, DG6 4DP.

Price: £320 per person.
