Paris-Star
What's a master class?
Paris Star is a special dessert made with a type of pastry called choux. It has a creamy filling and a crunchy shortbread base. In this lesson, you will learn how to make a stable choux pastry, how to create the perfect sablé and how to prepare a praline-based cream with a rich, nutty flavour. The mix of textures makes this dessert interesting to serve and complex in flavour, and the techniques can be used for many French classics.

FAQ
Absolutely. Maru recipes are designed for all skill levels — no culinary training required. You can start with the simplest recipes and work your way up at exactly the pace that feels comfortable. There's no timeline, no pressure, and no wrong way to begin.
We've been teaching pastry online for over 5 years, and the results from thousands of our students speak for themselves. The honest answer: yes — if you genuinely want to learn, and if the instruction is good enough. We've built the platform to make sure the second part is always true.
YouTube baking videos are hit or miss — approximate measurements, unbalanced ingredient ratios, and instructions that look great on screen but fall apart in your kitchen. The result: a ruined batch and wasted ingredients.
Every Maru recipe is tested repeatedly by professional chefs until it works consistently. Follow the process exactly, and it comes out beautifully the first time. That's the difference — and it's the whole reason this club exists.
We don't use obscure, expensive, or hard-to-find tools in Maru Family masterclasses. Anything you might need is available at specialty baking stores or online (Amazon, King Arthur Flour, etc.). Each recipe lists the specific equipment required — no surprises.
Yes! Chef feedback is available through Maru Expert — our deeper, mentor-led course platform. If you want intensive, one-on-one instruction with direct access to our pastry chefs, Maru Expert is where that happens. Maru Family is your foundation; Maru Expert is where you go pro.
We design all our recipes to be as accessible as possible. Some specialty ingredients aren't available at a regular grocery store — but in the US, almost everything can be ordered online (Amazon, King Arthur Flour, Webstaurant Store, or specialty importers). We're happy to point you to the right sources for anything specific. Just reach out.
Cancel anytime from your account settings — it takes about 30 seconds. You'll keep full access to all masterclasses through the end of your current billing period. After that, your subscription ends automatically with no charges. No phone calls, no hoops to jump through.
