My friend and I took the Bake Your Own French Croissant class for a birthday celebration - we had a great time. The instructor was a master of his craft but was able to teach in a way that was easy to understand. He leaned into his dry French humor, which made the class all the more fun. I have more appreciation for all croissants now, knowing the amount of work and time it takes to create these perfectly laminated deliciousness.

Mille-Feuille & Madeleines (Napoleon)
Matt E. • August 29, 2026
We had such a wonderful experience taking the mille-feuille & madeleines class with Emily. She was an excellent teacher—knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and incredibly generous with her tips and techniques.
Emily made the class both informative and enjoyable, and she explained each step clearly while making everyone feel comfortable and confident. I learned so much about the techniques behind making a beautiful mille-feuille, and I left feeling inspired to try it at home.

Cake Decorating (Frosting and Butter Cream)
Toni Marie B. • May 14, 2026
The class was great! Erin was thorough and open to questions, which I truly appreciate. I suggest having larger cake boards and a bit more time to practice the different styles, but overall, the instructor was so, so helpful. The cake also tasted great! I brought it home for my bday and everyone enjoyed it!

Emily was a good instructor. I would just say this was a fairly large class and there were still 5 open spots. When I've taken other classes with smaller groups, it has been easier to get to know everyone. This felt like you need to be there with at least one friend to not feel left out. That said, Emily was able to acknowledge that not everyone was there with a partner and to adjust instructions accordingly.

Homemade Pizza
Ram N. • February 25, 2026
This is a great introductory course for people who would like to learn how to make pizza on their own. Chef Genevieve was fantastic because she explained everything well and came around and helped each group with the different steps. Everyone used the same recipe so it was interesting to see how differently the final pizzas came out of the oven just based on the slightly different techniques used. This has inspired us to experiment with our own pizza recipes at home to try and perfect our technique.

The class was okay. I liked the instructor and what we made, but there was just way too much standing around and way too much of the instructor preparing everything for us.
Great for beginners and experts alike. Lots of fun. Awesome chef who moved the class along at a nice pace. Delicious desserts. Highly recommended.
