Whether you’re out to dazzle at the next cookie swap or simply curious about holiday traditions beyond your own, this class is your passport to the world’s cookie jar.
Together we’ll bake (and eat) our way across every continents (including Antarctica!) We’re getting hands-on and exploring how sugar, spice, eggs, butter and the very concept of a cookie take on new personalities and meanings from country to country.
From the spicy gingerbread of Germany to the walnut-apricot delights of Serbia to the aromatic semolina-and-date cookies of the Middle East, from South Africa’s fried, syrupy koeksisters to the coffee-and-caramel treats of Colombia to some favorites from Down Under, we’ll fill our trays with flavors that tell stories. There’s even a stop or two in the good old USA for some regional faves!
It may be a small world, but it’s absolutely packed with cookies, and we’re determined to taste our way through as many as we can. Come ready to roll, shape, bake, and sample, because Christmas cheer is best baked, iced, and shared. And don’t worry, we are sending you home with a LOT of cookies!

The Grand European Christmas Bake
2025-12-06 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
Step into the warmth and wonder of The Grand European Christmas Bake, our most beloved and elaborate class of the holiday season! Once each December, we gather for an afternoon of baking, storytelling, and celebration as we recreate the showstoppers of Europe’s Christmas tables: France’s magnificent Bûche de Noël (ours includes an almost irresponsible amount of chocolate, butter, and cream), Germany’s Stollen, where cinnamon-spiced dough studded with brandied raisins and house-candied orange peel hides a roll of almond marzipan symbolizing the Christ child, Italy’s famous Panettone, a revelation if you’ve never had one fresh from an artisan bakery like ours, and of course our Old World Fruitcake, absolutely loaded with rum-soaked fruit, pecans, butter, molasses, and Christmas spirit.
This is more than a class; it’s a once-a-year celebration of tradition, hospitality, and festive splendor. You’ll learn classic European techniques, discover the legends behind each bake, and take home an assortment of magnificent confections perfect for gifting or savoring yourself.
Since it’s only offered once a year, The Grand European Christmas Bake always sells out quickly. Reserve your spot early, gather a few friends, and BYOB if you’d like to toast your creations with something merry!
$139 per personIncludes all ingredients, instruction, and four classic European holiday treats to take home.

Say cheese to the holidays with Festive Fromage, a merry and delicious hands-on workshop devoted entirely to the art (and joy) of cheesemaking. This is your invitation to trade the cookie cutters for curds and spend a few cozy hours stirring, stretching, and sampling your way through the most delightful dairy of the season.
We’ll start with the foundations of fresh cheese, learning how simple ingredients can transform into something truly spectacular. Together we’ll craft pillowy burrata with its luscious creamy center, then decorate fromage blanc or chèvre in festive style with herbs and spices. It’s beautiful on a board and irresistible on warm bread. Next, we’ll turn up the heat with the ultimate party centerpiece: a bubbling, melty holiday fondue just begging for good bread and good company.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. You’ll also create elegant no-bake cheesecakes in festive seasonal flavors, bake off crisp, lacy parmesan wafers that make every table sparkle, and assemble a stunning charcuterie and cheese board that would make any host proud.

Introduction to Breadbaking
2026-01-10 13:00 - 15:30 (America/Chicago)
If you’ve ever dreamed of pulling a golden loaf of bread from your own oven, this class is the perfect place to start! In this friendly, hands-on workshop, we’ll explore the foundations of great bread baking — from mixing and kneading to shaping, proofing, and baking — and make it all approachable, practical, and delicious.
You’ll learn how flour, water, yeast, and salt come together to form doughs with very different personalities, and how to adjust hydration and fermentation for the best flavor and texture. We’ll work through three basic doughs that can become a whole bakery’s worth of breads: ciabatta, focaccia, baguettes, Sicilian loaves, bread bowls, and more.
Along the way, you’ll discover how to tell when your dough is ready to move on to the next stage, why moisture matters, and what makes a great crust vs. a soft crumb. You’ll taste fresh bread straight from the oven and go home with an armload of your own creations — plus recipes, techniques, and the confidence to keep baking at home.
Whether you’re brand new to bread or looking to strengthen your skills, this class will give you the tools you need for baking success.

Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
2026-01-17 13:00 - 15:45, 2026-01-18 13:00 - 15:45 UTC
Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class
We celebrate the art, science, and flavor of naturally leavened breads in our Sourdough & Naturally Leavened Breads Baking Class. Together, we’ll explore the fascinating world of wild yeast, long fermentation, and rustic baking traditions that bring unmatched character and taste to every loaf.
We’ll begin with the foundation: an artisan sourdough, learning the steps of mixing, folding, proofing, and baking that create the chewy crust, open crumb, and deep tang that make sourdough beloved around the world. From there, we’ll branch out into variations that highlight how versatile naturally leavened breads can be. We’ll bake an aromatic asiago and onion sourdough, a savory loaf filled with bold, cheesy flavor and caramelized sweetness.
We’ll also step outside sourdough-is-savory box and prepare South African mosbolletjies, a fragrant, lightly sweet bread flavored with anise and enriched with all of the dairy products we have. (Not really, but it feels like it!) This bread was our all-time top seller when we used to sell at the Farmer’s Market — even among people who couldn’t pronounce it (so, basically, everyone.)
In addition, we’ll put every bit of our starter to good use by turning discarded sourdough into crispy, delicious crackers. These golden, savory bites reduce waste while adding another skill to our repertoire.
Along the way, we’ll cover essential techniques, from starter maintenance to shaping methods and decorative techniques, so that sourdough feels approachable and exciting. Whether rustic or refined, savory or slightly sweet, every bread we bake together will deepen our appreciation for this timeless craft.
By the end, we’ll leave with a collection of fresh loaves, crackers, and the confidence to keep baking sourdough at home for years to come. And yes, we will give you starter to take home!

Valentine's Day Cookie Decorating
2026-01-31 13:00 - 15:30, 2026-02-01 13:00 - 15:30 UTC
Celebrate the sweetest season of the year with an afternoon of creativity, color, and confections! In this hands-on Valentine’s Cookie Decorating Class, you’ll learn how to bake, decorate, and design beautiful sugar cookies from scratch — the perfect way to share a little love (or keep it all for yourself).
We’ll begin by making our signature rolled sugar cookie dough, then cut out an assortment of seasonal Valentine’s shapes for your own personal tray. While your cookies bake to golden perfection, we’ll mix up batches of royal icing, learning how to achieve perfect piping and flooding consistencies, blend colors, and use outlining and layering techniques to create smooth, professional finishes.
Once the cookies are cooled, you’ll decorate your own collection of beautiful Valentine’s cookies using the icing techniques you’ve just learned — from elegant hearts and florals to playful patterns and conversation-cookie designs.
At the end of class, your creations will need to dry overnight for safe transport and best results. You’re welcome to return the next day to pick them up once they’ve set perfectly — or if you’ve come from farther away, we’ll carefully box them up for the trip home and hope for the best.
This class is perfect for friends, families, or couples who love to create together. You’ll leave with new decorating skills, plenty of inspiration, and the joy that comes from making something beautiful with your own hands.

Start the sweetest season of the year with an afternoon devoted entirely to the art of chocolate. In this hands-on 2½-hour class, you’ll create an elegant array of chocolate confections — each one beautiful enough to gift and delicious enough to keep for yourself.
We’ll begin with long-stemmed chocolate-covered strawberries, the timeless indulgence that never goes out of style, then move into liquid-centered cherry cordials that burst with flavor when you bite into them. You’ll learn how to temper chocolate to a flawless shine, then use those skills to craft hand-painted truffles and pralines, gleaming with color or patterned with professional transfer sheets. You’ll also create your own custom chocolate bars, decorated with edible gold, sea salt, or fruit, and finish with a deeply rich flourless chocolate cake (the ultimate Valentine-worthy finale!)
This pre-Valentine session is ideal for solo bakers, friends, or couples who’d rather celebrate early (and with chocolate). You’ll leave with recipes, techniques you’ll use forever, and a beautifully boxed assortment of your own handmade creations.

Mardi Gras Madness: A Grand Carnival Baking Experience
2026-02-15 13:00 - 16:00 UTC
Carnival season isn’t just one tradition — it’s a whirlwind of celebrations stretching from Europe to Louisiana. Two days before Mardi Gras, join us for the most joyful, over-the-top baking class of the year: Mardi Gras Madness, our grand tour of sweet festival traditions from across the world.
In this immersive, hands-on class, you’ll bake your way through five iconic pastries, each tied to a different country’s pre-Lenten celebration. We’ll start in France with a shimmering galette des rois, layered with crisp puff pastry and almond frangipane, complete with a crown and the hidden fève. Then we head north for pillowy semlor — cardamom buns overflowing with almond paste and clouds of whipped cream.
Next, it’s time for the fryer. You’ll make golden pączki, the rich, Polish doughnuts traditionally eaten before Lent, along with delicate Italian angel wings dusted generously in powdered sugar. And finally, we circle back to the States to finish with a fragrant Louisiana King Cake, braided, baked, and lavishly frosted in Mardi Gras colors.
You’ll leave with a feast of pastries, a kitchen full of good stories, and a deep appreciation for how many cultures celebrate this deliciously indulgent season. It’s a little chaotic, a little glittery, and absolutely unforgettable — exactly how Carnival should be. This class is joyful, festive, and deliciously over the top — a true feast for both the senses and the spirit. So a friend or loved one and join us as we laissez les bons temps rouler!

BYOB

We suggest something light and celebratory like prosecco, a sparkling rose or a moscato d’asti.

2026-02-21 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago)
If you love pastries that are crisp, airy, and filled with luscious cream, this class is for you. Join us as we dive into the delicious, versatile world of pâte à choux—the egg-rich dough that gives us cream puffs, éclairs, profiteroles, and so much more.
We’ll start with the fundamentals: how to cook and pipe pâte à choux so that it puffs beautifully, bakes hollow, and becomes the perfect canvas for both sweet and savory creations. Then we’ll explore all the delicious ways to use it. We’ll make classic Éclairs, filled with decadent vanilla pastry cream and topped with glossy chocolate ganache; Pretzel Éclairs, filled with caramel cream for a playful twist on a favorite; and even Zeppole, fried golden and filled with silky cannoli cream.
You’ll learn how to master each step—from making and piping the dough to filling, glazing, and frying—and you’ll take home a collection of pastries that look as beautiful as they taste. With pâte à choux, the possibilities are endless, and once you’ve learned the basics, you’ll never look at cream puffs the same way again.
Whether you’re a confident baker or a curious beginner, this class is an evening of hands-on fun, rich flavors, and pastry magic that’s sure to impress.
