Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this baking class:

Join us for a virtual cooking class as you either cook along with our Chopping Block Chef in real time, or watch as a demonstration as our chef teaches you how to make Santa’s favorite cookies via Zoom.

Menu:

  • Gingerbread Cookies with Vanilla Glaze and Sprinkles
  • Jam-Filled Thumbprints Cookies
  • Red and Green Peppermint Patties
Skills covered in class:
  • Understanding baking ingredients
  • Mixing cake batter
  • Determining cake doneness
  • Working with frosting
  • Making and rolling cookie dough
  • Working with puff pastry
  • Preparing drop cookies

Our virtual classes will have you and your chef instructor cooking together in real time, or if preferred, enjoy the class as an engaging demonstration with the flexibility to prepare the dishes at another time. Either way, you will gain a full understanding of the techniques. Upon registration, chose which option is best for you. 

Upon signup you will receive the recipe packet complete with a very detailed equipment list and class syllabi that outlines the flow of the class. If you will be cooking along, we ask that all ingredients are procured and measured ahead of time to help the flow of the class.

Whether cooking along or watching as a demonstration, our Zoom moderator will make sure all of your questions are answered live by the chef either during or after class.
