Master baking fundamentals online via Zoom and conquer cakes with confidence!



5 x 30 mins Class size 1 to 5 guests   $150

Your oven is about to become your new favorite creative outlet! In this live, hands-on online baking class, you’ll build real confidence as you learn baking basics step by step -- right from your own kitchen. We start with the crowd-pleasers (think how to make cookies that are chewy in the center, brownies with that shiny top, and a foolproof banana bread recipe you’ll bake on repeat). Then we level up to cakes -- because baking and decorating one is the final boss, and you’ll be ready for it!
Along the way, you’ll learn how to bake with intention: proper measuring, smart mixing methods, how ingredients actually work, and how to tell when something is truly done (not just “looks done-ish”). You won’t just follow recipes -- you’ll understand the why behind each step, plus how to fix common mistakes before they spiral.
This Zoom class is perfect if you’ve been Googling “how to bake” at midnight or scrolling for things to do online that are actually fun and useful. You’ll leave with reliable recipes, practical skills, and the confidence to tackle that final boss cake without breaking a sweat. Apron on. Let’s bake!

FAQ

Is this class for kids?
Probably not, at least not little kids. We're not just decorating pre-made cookies, we're learning a science here.
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
Yes. I can recommend certain brands or kits if you would like.
Will we be making the cake in one course?
No. We will bake the cake in one class and then decorating it in the next.

Do I need a stand mixer?
It is not essential, but it greatly helps. You will at least need a hand mixer though.

I’ve been baking for as long as I can remember — some of my earliest memories are standing in the kitchen with my mom, “helping” her make cookies (and sneaking bites of dough when I thought no one was looking). Now the roles have officially flipped, and she’s the one hovering around my kitchen trying to sneak my dough.
I earned a pastry degree from Escoffier Culinary School and I’ve had professional baking experience, but what I love most is that baking still feels like fun to me. I’m never afraid to take on a baking challenge, and I’m the type of person who sees a tricky recipe and thinks, “Okay… let’s do it.”
What I love about teaching is helping people realize they can bake too. I genuinely believe that if you can read and follow a recipe, you can bake — and I’m great at breaking things down into simple steps and explaining them in a few different ways until it clicks. My classes are meant to be approachable, low-pressure, and full of little “ohhh, that’s how you do it” moments.
A small thing most people don’t know: baking doesn’t require perfection — it requires paying attention. Once you understand the basics, you can make amazing things (and you don’t have to be “a natural” to do it). My goal is for you to leave class feeling confident, proud, and excited to keep baking at home.
