Your Welcome Treat: A Fresh Pastry & Drink to Start

We believe every great experience starts with a warm welcome. Before we dive into baking, take a moment to settle in. You'll choose from one of our beautiful pastries baked fresh this morning and pair it with a coffee, tea, or juice on us. It's the perfect way to meet your instructor and fellow bakers.

This isn't about watching from the sidelines; it's about plunging your hands into fine French flour and learning the craft by touch. You'll feel the dough come alive as you knead it and master the art of laminating butter to create the dozens of flaky layers of a perfect croissant. You'll understand the subtle techniques that can't be found in any cookbook.
