Classes typically begin with an introduction to the menu and a demonstration of key skills, such as kneading dough and using a pastry bag. You'll work in small groups to prepare various baked goods, from yeasty artisan bread and flaky French pastries to decadent chocolate desserts. Expect to use professional baking tools, understand ingredient functions, and gain confidence in handling doughs and batters. Whether you've never measured an ingredient or volunteer for every bake sale, courses are designed to be an enjoyable and interactive experience. At the end of class, you'll enjoy your creations and take home valuable skills.
What Baking techniques and skills will I master?
Baking workshops help you master a range of techniques and skills, whether you're a beginner who wants to explore global baking techniques or experienced and ready to tackle a wedding cake. You’ll learn the science behind baking, including precise measuring, ingredient functions, and temperature control – skills that translate to your beloved family recipes. Hands-on bread-making classes cover mixing methods, kneading dough, fermentation, and proofing for airy, flavorful loaves. For pastry lovers, you’ll master laminating dough for flaky croissants, achieving the perfect rise for even cake layers, and crafting silky custards and mousses.

Baking is also a joy for kids, with family-friendly classes, young chefs can decorate maple leaf sugar cookies with royal icing or pipe chocolate buttercream roses onto moist, homemade cupcakes. Whether for fun or skill-building, sweet or savory, these hands-on baking experiences promise delicious memories.
Where do the classes take place?
