Paula
Founder, Crumble Crate
Paula's been teaching home bakers since 2019. She built Crumble Crate around one idea: technique travels further than recipes.
Anyone can follow a recipe. Once you understand why the curd needs to come off heat at exactly the right moment, or what happens to pastry shell structure when you skip the blind bake, you stop guessing and start baking on purpose.
This is her most-requested class.
What you'll actually walk away knowing
The pastry shell that doesn't go soggy
There's a 10-minute window in the bake where most shells either over-set or under-set. Paula shows you exactly what you're looking for.
Silky lemon curd every time
Paula demonstrates how to achieve the ideal texture and flavor without scrambling or overcooking.
Meringue that doesn't weep
Learn the sugar timing and torch technique that creates stable toasted peaks every time.

Getting a lemon curd that holds its shape, a pastry shell that stays crisp, and meringue that doesn't weep all at the same time is genuinely hard to pull off without knowing a few things most recipes never tell you.
Paula walks through all of it. The pastry shell technique. The exact pull temperature for the curd. The meringue method. The torch angle.
This class is 45 minutes and covers every step, from the first butter cut to the final torch pass.
You'll make 30 to 36 tartlets. Skill level is intermediate: you should be comfortable with basic baking, but you don't need pastry school experience. That's what the class is for.
Fair warning: the filling is dangerous on a spoon before it makes it into the shells.
