Rainbow Connect: Puff Pastry Workshop

A warm, cheerful gathering for LGBTQIA+ international students — and friends who want to join the fun — to roll, cut, and bake together without any pressure to be a pro. Think flour, laughter, and community, not perfection.

Whether you’ve never held a rolling pin or you’ve secretly perfected your éclair technique, you’re welcome here. All tools, ingredients, and a gentle step-by-step guide from friendly hosts are included — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to laugh at your own pastry flops.

Get ready to:

• Whip up buttery, flaky puff pastry in a relaxed, beginner-friendly session
• Participate in a laid-back, no-stress bake-off with fellow students
• Meet new faces and swap stories over a shared table (and shared treats)
• Enjoy light refreshments while you create something delicious together

This isn’t a cooking competition — it’s a friendly social space where the goal is connection, not crusts. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn, chat, or just enjoy the magic of butter and layers with kindred spirits.

Important notes:

• Gluten-free options aren’t available for this session — if you have gluten allergies, please check ahead.
• Registration is free and essential. No walk-ins.
• Bring nothing but yourself — seriously, we’ve got the flour, the butter, and the good vibes covered.

This event is hosted on Wurundjeri Country. Rainbow Connect extends respect to Elders past and present, and acknowledges the strength and resilience of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who identify with the LGBTQIA+ communities.
