  • 5/5 from Luz M, attended Apr 2024: I enjoyed the lava cake/madeline/ice cream class. I have learned a lot. It’s good that the teacher gave us ideas on how to do variations on the recipe. I learned the proper techniques and hopefully, I will be able to do it with my future baking adventures. I just wish that we were able to taste and bring home the ice cream that we made.
