Planned a buttercream class for a bachelorette party. We worked with Hannah, she listened to the vision for the”vibe” of the party. And she made it so fun and special. We learned how to make floral cupcakes with buttercream, she had a slideshow with information, custom recipe cards even incorporated a mimosa bar, charcuterie board and balloons. We all had a great time and will be back for another class. Highly recommend.

I have always wanted to learn how to make pasta and it was a lot of fun! You also get a TON of delicious homemade pasta to take home. Will definitely come back to take other classes.

We walked in sort if accidentally, but we're given a warm welcome and an opportunity to taste a fresh "kneecap" pastry. Positively delicious! I'd love to come back for a cooking class. They do mostly special orders, and I'm going to remember that. How fun would it be to order kneecaps for Easter brunch!
