Recent reviews of Holiday Dessert Tree Making Class

  • 5/5 from Valerie Guan, attended Dec 2025: Our team had a blast creating our truffles and turning them into mini holiday dessert trees. As the organizer of our team holiday party, I was very proud to hear how happy everyone was with the event. Our instructor was very personable and attentive, and with her guidance, all our treats turned out delicious and festive. Highly recommend!
