Learn the tricks to making your very own delicious pies with expert baking team of Honeypie Cafe. This fun class is taught by Honeypie's founder and Chief Executive Pie Officer, Valeri Lucks. Held inside our Honeypie Bakeshop Kitchen (inside our cafe, Palomino) our very hands-on class will guide you through a variety of different aspects of pie making and give you a peek into the life of our bakeshop.

In this class, will we learn a shortening based pastry crust and the how-to's of "blind baking" for the most crisp, flakey of crusts to hold creamy, dreamy pie fillings. While we learn how to make our own chocolate silk filling, we'll discuss the history of"French Silk" pie, it's variations and which French Silk inspired Valeri's life-long love of pie. You will go home with one completed 9" pie to share or to keep all to yourself.
