Get hands-on and learn to prepare some staples of traditional Irish baking!
About this Event

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day... join Kat in the classroom kitchen to learn two staples of Irish baking... soda bread and shortbread "biscuits" (they're cookies!) PLUS how to make delicious compound butters.

In this class, you'll:

  • make a free-form loaf of classic Irish soda bread from scratch (choose plain white soda bread or a sweet, raisin-studded soda bread)
  • make crumbly, buttery shortbread "biscuits" (cookies) completely by hand
  • learn how to make delicious flavored butters (demo)
  • practice two different hands-on mixing techniques
  • learn lots of baking tips you can apply to other recipes
  • explore how the ingredients work
  • enjoy baking with fellow students
  • feel set up for success by friendly, knowledgeable instructors
  • leave with lots of delicious goodies you made yourself!

No prior baking experience needed. Adults only please (age 15+). By registering, you agree to our terms & conditions.

ABOUT MUDDY'S HANDS-ON BAKING CLASSES

Muddy's hands-on baking classes are in-depth AND fun! Class sizes are small so students have ample opportunity for guidance & questions. Your instructor will demonstrate every step of the recipe and be available as you try each step yourself. While some parts of the recipe may occasionally involve "group work" with other students, you will complete most of the activites yourself... and of course, you'll leave with your goodies!

Who should participate? Anyone age 15+ who is looking to learn, wants to have fun, or just enjoys baking in company.

Who teaches the hands-on baking classes? Kat Gordon, owner & founder of Muddy's is the primary instructor for all hands-on baking classes. Any class with more than 4 students also has a 'sidekick' assisting instructor.

Are classes wheelchair accessible? Our tables are height-adjustable, so if you need special accommodations, just let us know ahead of time and we'll be sure to have the table and your spot all ready for you!

What about cancellations? Classes are small and space is limited, so all ticket sales are final. Please check the date/time carefully before booking. If you cannot make it to your class, you may gift your ticket to a friend. If Muddy's must cancel the event for any reason, we will inform you asap and fully refund your ticket.

Lots more info about our classes & events .

One more note... Muddy's baking classes are NOT about "being perfect". We prioritize learning, creativity, and fun over perfection! We look forward to seeing you soon!
