Any interest in hands on baking at Westboro Superstore? [General]

We don't have enough for a private workshop which need a minimal guarantee of 12 people so maybe get Mary to schedule one for French tarts or something...
Croissants and viennoiseries would take up to 3 days to make. I was told by someone from Montreal that Premiere Moisson at University of Ottawa can special order the sheets used to make croissants and the other pastries like pain au chocolate, etc... That is what they use themselves.

Looking at some of the ones I might be interested in...
* French tarts
* Macaroons

Have discussed this briefly with Mary Kosta who is a Le Cordon Bleu London trained Chef de Cuisine et Patisserie. She mentioned some options and admitted I mentioned some of the things I liked..
* baking bread
* cake decorating using fondant and maybe how to make roses (or other flowers?)
* Making French tarts
Also open to other suggestions...
Let the discussion begin if any are interested..
