Recent reviews of NYC Classics Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Ken Appelbaum, attended May 2026: I took the NYC classic baking class last night and left with a huge bag of freshly baked goodies (soft pretzels, Kaiser rolls Ann black and white cookies. The space was comfortable and all tools accessible. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable, personable and flexible. I’m glad to have discovered this space, and will likely take more classes here.

Jacqueline Eng was not always a baker. In fact, it wasn’t until she was freelancing as a classical percussionist around New York City that she discovered a curiosity for baking. When the passion for hosting bake sale fundraisers overtook her drive to “practice practice practice” she knew it was time to take the leap and pursue a career in food.
Jacqueline aims to spread love and knowledge about the benefits of using heritage grains and stone milled flours (she’ll talk your ear off if you give her the chance). Her mission is to push the boundaries of what you expect from your neighborhood bakery while maintaining an unrelenting standard for the classics you know and love.
Prior to starting Partybus Bakeshop, Jacqueline was head baker for Altamarea Group. She honed her craft at New York hot spots including Petee’s Pie Co., Arcade Bakery, and the International Culinary Center.
