By Jana Lepojevic

In the city that never sleeps, there’s no shortage of things to do and see but if you’re looking for a fun New York activity to do with friends (or solo), baking classes NYC may be just what you need. Learn to craft delectable pastries, lose yourself in the baking process, and enjoy tasting your home-baked goods at the end! It’s a super wholesome and productive way to spend your day and you’ll have a bunch of goodies to share with friends and family, not to mention the recipes, tips and tricks to keep recreating what you learned at home. From French pastries to New York bagels and Italian desserts, there’s a baking workshop to suit any appetite and skill level. Let’s enrich your 2025 with five baking workshops in NYC to try this month. Be warned—you may not want to share!

Bagel making in Manhattan

Experience quintessential New York flavor at this bagel making class in Manhattan. This baking workshop in NYC offers a delightful journey into the world of crafting authentic New York-style bagels. You’ll not only learn to make bagel dough and get hands-on making your own bagels, but you’ll also get to create your own toppings and fillings so you can make the bagel of your dreams. This is a morning class so you may want to skip breakfast and truly indulge in your own handmade bagel creation. 

Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting your culinary adventures, this class is designed to be both fun and educational. The best part? It’s a casual class, meant to offer a space for learning but also to catch up and chat with others, so bring some loved ones along or come solo and make new baking buddies!

Not only will you leave with a newfound skill and a belly full of bagels, but you'll also take home recipes, tips, and tricks to recreate these delights in your own kitchen. It's a hands-on way to immerse yourself in the culinary heritage of New York City while creating memories that taste as good as they look.

Bake French croissants

Indulge in a taste of Paris right in the heart of Manhattan with a French croissant baking class! This is quite a sensory class—you’ll be working with buttery dough, rolling and shaping it, as well as being surrounded by the heavenly aroma of croissants baking in the oven. 

This baking workshop in NYC will teach you to master a culinary art form that's loved worldwide. From shaping the dough to creating those flaky layers, you'll be guided through each step to ensure your croissants turn out just like those from a French bakery.

You won’t just be making traditional croissants either but a delectable mix of three different types of croissants—traditional, chocolate and ham and cheese! The next time you want to start your morning with freshly baked croissants, you’ll have three different recipes to turn to depending on your mood!

Looking for a unique date idea in New York? These baking classes are perfect for couples. It’s a charming way to spend quality time together and feast on your warm, baked treats straight from the oven.

Master tiramisu from scratch

Embark on a delightful journey into Italian dessert heaven with a tiramisu making class right here in Manhattan! This hands-on experience goes beyond just assembling the layers—you'll learn to make the ladyfinger biscuits from scratch and make mascarpone as they bake. All of these handmade touches will add extra deliciousness to the final product.

What makes this class extra special is that you'll get to create not just one, but three different types of tiramisu—the classic coffee-infused version, a unique matcha twist for a touch of green tea goodness, and a luscious strawberry variation for a fruity burst of flavor.

This is a classic and well-loved dessert, perfect for bringing to family feasts and impressing your loved ones with your best tiramisu ever! Whether you're a baking enthusiast or a complete beginner, this dessert class promises a fun and rewarding experience that celebrates the art of Italian sweets right in the heart of New York City.

Get gluten-free with macarons

Step into a world of sweetness and creativity with a colorful macaron making class. Unleash your inner pastry artist as you learn the art of crafting these delicate and iconic treats. Macarons do involve a degree of technical knowledge but don’t worry you’ll be in safe hands with a professional chef onboard to help and guide you. 

Did you know macarons are naturally gluten-free? That’s right! This is a gluten-free baking class for those who love dessert but find it hard to find gluten-free treats. 

If you’re looking for things to do in New York with friends, this class offers a fun-filled baking adventure, complete with your favorite beverages (it's BYOB!) to add a touch of celebration to the mix. Together, you'll laugh, learn, and create memories as sweet as the macarons themselves.

At the end of the class, you’ll have a box of macarons to take home with you! We won’t judge you if you eat them all.

Start your day with beignets

Kickstart your morning with a beignet making class that's as fun as it is mouthwatering! Wondering what exactly a beignet is? These delightful pastries hail from New Orleans, known for their light, fluffy texture and irresistible sweetness. They’re similar to donuts and just as, if not more, delicious. 

When you join this NYC baking class, you’re not just learning a new recipe, you’re starting your day with a slice of culinary joy that will leave the rest of your day feeling bright and joyful. 

As you savor the warm, pillowy goodness of your freshly made beignets, you'll understand why they're so beloved and why this class is a must-try for anyone who loves a good pastry adventure.
