Excellent in all aspects! Fantastic host, pastry chef who spoke perfect English and had broad knowledge and willingness to communicate! The location was easy to find on Amap, spotless and modern lab space, and we had the privilege of listening to a classical music concert during the candy making process! What an evening! Thank you Luc!

Highlights

Learn to make dragon beard candy, a traditional Chinese confection, in this hands-on class in Shanghai. Your instructor is a Shanghai-born pastry chef trained in both traditional Chinese pastry and classic French pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, and the class is taught in English. Hear about the 2,000-year history of this treat once reserved for Chinese royalty, watch a live demonstration, then stretch sugar into thousands of fine threads yourself. Take home the candy you make along with a recipe to try at home.

Program

Make dragon beard candy
with a pastry chef

This is a traditional Chinese pastry workshop lasting about 2 hours. Your chef, trained in both Chinese and French pastry, combines the precision of French technique with the artistry of Chinese tradition. All ingredients and baking equipment are provided.

Hear 2,000 years of history and watch a live demo

Start with a short storytelling session about the 2,000-year history of dragon beard candy, once a delicacy reserved for Chinese royalty. Then watch a live demonstration as melted sugar turns into delicate, soft strands resembling a dragon's beard.

Stretch the sugar and create your own candy

Now it's your turn. Following the chef's guidance, stretch and fold the sugar dough more than 10,000 times to create hair-thin threads. Wrap these threads around a delicious filling of ground peanuts, sesame and coconut to finish your dragon beard candy.

Take your homemade candy with you, along with a recipe so you can make it again at home.
