Recent reviews of Babka and Brioche Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Toshiko Furuta, attended Oct 2026: Wonderful class. Clear instructions, answered our questions with positive energy, and was fun to do with my friends, all 7 of us!! Definitely would recommend.
  • 4/5 from Bonnie Y Chien, attended Aug 2026: christine was a great teacher and how nice to have a real parisien perspective on french baked goods such as brioche. she explained steps and reasoning well and there was a good balance of hands on, explanation and modeling demonstration. the only part was the beginning was a bit more confusing because there were mutliple people coming in for different classes and we just had to clarify where to go. would also appreciate a bit more nuanced explanation of the written recipe that goes along with the demonstration but otherwise is a great, fun class with good quality content and tips.
  • 5/5 from Felecia Oconnell, attended Feb 2026: This class was EXCELLENT! I wondered how our teacher would be able to pack so much information into two-and-a half hours, but she most certainly did. The materials were well organized, and her explanations were clear and direct. The babka and the brioche buns were delicious, and I'm looking forward to try making both again on my own.
