Pretzel Baking Class

Get Ready for Pretzel Baking Class!

We roll up our sleeves and dive into the world of handmade pretzels in our crowd-fave Pretzel Baking Class. This fun, hands-on workshop is all about mastering the dough, the twist, and the bake that makes pretzels so irresistible, while also learning a few tricks that bakers have passed down for generations.

We’ll begin with authentic Bavarian lye-dipped pretzels, the kind that deliver that iconic chewy crust and deep, golden shine. Lye can be dangerous if handled incorrectly, but we’ll provide the goggles, the know-how, and the confidence to teach you how to use lye safely. It’s not nearly as scary as it sounds, and the delicious results are absolutely worth it.

Next, we’ll bake Scandinavian sweet pretzels, soft, sweet, and lightly iced, perfect for an afternoon treat or a cozy breakfast. We’ll also make Parmesan peppercorn pretzels, savory and bold. It’s basically the best possible garlic bread—but with all the satisfying chew and character of a real pretzel.

Along the way, we’ll tackle the famous flippy-twisty pretzel fold (English doesn’t really have a word for it, but German does: Brezelschlingen), breaking it down step by step until the classic shape feels easy and natural. We’ll share tips on dough handling, shaping, flavor variations, and baking methods so that pretzels can become part of our own kitchen repertoire.

By the end of class, we’ll leave with a generous pile of fresh, warm pretzels, new skills, and maybe even a new party trick to share. Whether sweet or savory, pretzels are always a crowd-pleaser—and making them together makes them even better.

The Art of Phyllo Baking Class

Phyllo has a bit of a bad reputation. It tears. It dries out. It behaves badly if ignored. And yet, some of the most beloved pastries in the world rely on it.

In this hands-on workshop, we’re demystifying phyllo once and for all as we bake our way through phyllo’s full range of possibilities. You’ll learn to build classic nut baklava in multiple styles, from crisp layered triangles to rolled sarma and dramatic midye (mussel) baklava formed from hand-stretched sheets. We’ll prepare spiral bourek and tiropitakia for the savory table, and we’ll turn even our “mistakes” into fragrant orange-soaked portokalopita.

By the end of class, you’ll understand how phyllo behaves, how syrup absorption works, and how to approach these pastries with confidence instead of hesitation. (And then, of course, we will send you home with a big box of your handiwork!)

It’s All About Choux: Cream Puffs, Eclairs and More Baking Class

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.

The Mariner’s Feast Date Night Cooking Experience

The Mariner’s Feast Date Night Cooking Experience

Join us for an evening inspired by bright northern waters and harbor-town kitchens. In this hands-on cooking experience, we’ll build a seafood-forward feast from start to finish — learning techniques you can take home, and flavors that feel like summer by the water.

Together we’ll prepare maple-glazed salmon with a delicate balance of sweet and savory, golden griddled crab cakes with crisp edges and tender centers, and a creamy leek and corn risotto that anchors the plate. A fresh cucumber salad adds brightness and contrast, and we’ll finish with wild blueberry tarts that are both rustic and elegant.

As always at Pickwick & Cherry, we cook together at one long communal table — sharing tools, stories, and plenty of laughter along the way. After the cooking is done, you’ll sit down to enjoy the full feast while we take care of the cleanup.

No experience necessary — just come hungry and ready to cook.

BYOB

We suggest a crisp Albariño, a saline Muscadet, a dry Riesling, a cool-climate Chardonnay, or an elegant Pinot Noir. If you prefer something a bit bolder, try a restrained Sangiovese. To finish, a late-harvest Riesling or Banyuls makes a lovely match for blueberries.
