Baking/Pastry Workshops

About the Class

Baking/pastry classes teach basic baking techniques:

  • CREAMING - Beating butter and sugar until light and fluffy (creates air for cakes/cookies).
  • FOLDING - Gently combining ingredients without deflating (used for meringues, mousses, sponge cakes).
  • WHISKING/BEATING - Incorporating air into eggs, cream, or batter.
  • CUTTING IN - Mixing cold fat into flour until crumbly (for pie crusts, scones, biscuits).
  • KNEADING - Working dough to develop gluten (for bread).
  • SIFTING - Aerating flour and evenly distributing dry ingredients.

We also teach how to measure properly and the difference between measuring dry and wet ingredients. We bake everything from scratch and tastings are always included. Each event may vary in price and duration.

Ages can vary depending on the simplicity or complexity of the workshop's menu. Typically, ages are 5 and up but often include 4-year-olds as well.
