FAQS ABOUT COOKING CLASSES in NYC
How much do Cake Baking classes in NYC cost?
Cake baking courses in NYC will typically cost somewhere between $59 and over $100 per person, depending on the specific experience you decide to book. However, this is only a rough guide. The actual price you’ll pay to enjoy cake making classes in NYC varies depending on a few factors, including the number in your party, since class prices are tiered based on group size. You can see a rough starting price on the web page of your chosen experience, or why not reach out to our helpful Concierge team?
Who are these Cake Baking classes suitable for?
Cake making courses in NYC are for everyone. Provided that you have an interest in great food and a desire to have fun, your experience level really doesn’t matter — it really is the taking part that counts.
Perfect for spending time with family, friends and even colleagues, cake baking lessons in NYC provide the perfect opportunity to let loose, get creative and, more importantly, indulge your sweet tooth.

As for what you’ll learn, that depends on the type of course. You could be learning baking basics or more advanced techniques to take your home baking to the next level. You can also expect time at the end of the sessions to tuck into your delicious creations, allowing you and your group time to relax and reflect on your favorite parts of the class.
What Cake Baking techniques and skills will I master?
This really depends on the class you decide to book. If the Great British Baking Show has you wanting to master your favorite British cakes, there’s a class for that, and your chef will gladly introduce you to the recipes, techniques and specialized equipment required to make them. Equally, if you want to spend the session with your little ones whipping up a batch of cupcakes, you can learn to do that too.
In most cases, your chef will teach you the basic skills required to make your chosen menu, like mixing your batter and how to make the most decadent frosting, arming you with everything you need to continue your culinary explorations at home.
What are the benefits of taking a Cake Baking class?
People choose to book cake baking courses in NYC for different reasons.

Or it could simply be that you love to bake and are ready to take your skills to the next level.
Whatever your reasons for booking, one of the main benefits is that you’re sure to have a blast! More than that, you’ll learn from a renowned NYC chef how to prepare exciting new cakes while gaining insights into cultures from around the world and their approach to baking. What’s not to love?
What types of Cake Baking classes/menus can I choose from?

Or, if cupcakes sound great but you want to take yours to the next level, you could learn to make cupcake bouquets. You could also choose to master your favorite British cakes or learn to whip up a classic American lunch, including a classic strawberry shortcake with sweet cream. Whatever you’re in the mood for, simply choose your class, set a date and get baking!
Where do the classes take place?
What could be more exciting than learning, literally, at the chef’s table? Fortunately, many chefs in NYC are happy to host baking classes in their own homes, inviting you into their kitchens and sharing with you their most closely-guarded baking secrets. Whether you’re in Brooklyn, Queens or Manhattan, it doesn’t matter: simply consult the map on the web page of your chosen experience to find one near you.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to do the hosting, many chefs will gladly come to you, bringing with them all the requisite ingredients and equipment to make your chosen menu. All that’s required is a clean, functional kitchen and enough space for everyone in your group to get stuck in.
