Get ready for the holidays with this hands-on pie baking class in Berkeley, where you’ll learn to make two traditional favorites with a delicious seasonal twist. Chef Ansarys will guide you through the recipes and techniques, from preparing a flaky all-butter pie crust to creating flavorful fillings and toppings.
You’ll make an apple cranberry pie with brown sugar and a sweet potato and brown butter crumble pie, giving you the chance to practice your baking skills while preparing two delicious desserts. Each class begins with a short chef-led introduction to the day’s theme and recipes before you break into smaller teams to work through the menu.
A snack will be served at the beginning, and once the pies are ready, you’ll sit down to enjoy the dishes you’ve made together! While students aren’t able to take food home due to the venue’s zoning permit, you’re welcome to enjoy as much as you’d like during class.
Best of all, the team handles the cleanup and dishes, so all you have to do is focus on baking and enjoying the holiday season. Perfect if you're looking for unique date ideas, team-building activities, fun things to do in Berkeley, or easy pie recipes, you'll walk away with the skills and confidence to recreate these desserts at home!

Ansarys Andino

Ansarys Andino


Ansarys Andino started her journey to being a pastry chef in 2006 when she had the privilege of starting an internship at Town, working under Pastry Chef Vandanda Nyk. It was there that she absorbed a great deal of knowledge about techniques, styles and skills coupled with new insight into the restaurant business, and once her internship was complete, she moved on to other kitchens such as The Water Club, Babycakes NYC, La Fonda del Sol and so much more. Working in different kitchens all over New York City has been one of the greatest experiences of her life, creating a path for her to be a cake decorator, head baker, pastry cook and pastry chef over the course of 10 years. She then went on to work at Crave Fishbar as their Pastry Chef. While at Crave Fishbar, she was given the freedom to be truly creative, and she gained the experience of how to use local produce and seasonal ingredients.

When the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown most businesses, she became unemployed and she was inspired to birth her company, Sip n Ice. She created Sip n Ice to offer aspiring at home bakers the confidence to use those baking tools that are often purchased and then sit unused in a kitchen drawer. Her hope was to give people a fun class on cake decorating with pro-tips, accompanied by some wine, providing a stress relief during uncertain times, and further bringing her love of baking full circle. As an added bonus to her journey, she was featured in TimeOut's article "New York Pastry Chefs are creating underground pop-ups" for her successful handmade pies and bananas breads. She was able to successfully deliver orders to countless customers via her Instagram page during the pandemic.
Having recently moved to the West Coast, her goal is to continue teaching the art of baking and cake decorating in the San Francisco Bay Area, inspiring home bakers to make delicious and beautiful, sweet treats in their own kitchens.
