Private/In-Home/Baking/Classes

 

Love the items but want to learn to make them yourself? Want to get your hands on some of my recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and dietary needs dessert recipes? Hiring me as a private pastry chef for an evening of private baking classes in the comfort of your own home may just be up your alley.  

 

Below you will see a list of options, including prices and example menus, that you can browse through to select an ideal morning, afternoon, night, or special events party of baking!  This set-up is great for people looking to expand their knowledge of healthier baked goods, expand their repetoire to impress at parties and for families, and is also great for any special event for a small group of people--a special night in, family night, birthday parties, bachelorette parties, baby showers, and more. 

 

What does the private baking class involve?

  • A 3-3 1/2  hour class of your choosing, right in the comfort of your own home. The class has a maximum of three items.

  • Delicious freshly-baked, high-quality, gluten-free & vegan desserts, with the knowledge of how to make them on your own.

  • Flexibility in choosing what items you would like to learn, always gluten-free and vegan! (an increase in charge may apply if multiple time- or ingredient-consuming recipes are desired)

  • Very hands-on baking, where you get to get your hands in the dough while I explain and demonstrate alongside you. Or you can just sit back and relax!

  • High quality ingredients (organic, all-natural, fair-trade, specialty, and local nuts and fruits when available)

  • I'll do the grocery shopping for you, bring everything for the class to your house, and leave you with a list of where you can purchase these items on your own after the class for future baking projects

  • Thorough explanations, answering any questions you have, and suggesting alternative substitutions where possible so you can play with the recipe on your own afterwards.

  • A detailed, reliable recipe print-out

  • For an extra charge, I can bring a bottle of wine that pairs with the desserts or else a specialty seasonal cocktail (or mocktail!) with recipe.
