the French Home Baker

When you think of French baking, you may envision extremely advanced pastries like croissants or mille-feuille, BUT French home baking is often MUCH simpler, yet elegant and delicious! C'est tres bon, mes amis :-)

Join Kat in the classroom kitchen and learn how to make two staples of the French home bakers' repertoire: gateau aux pommes (a classic apple snacking cake) and broye du Poitou (salted butter shortbread-cake).

In this class you'll:

• make two recipes completely from scratch: apple cake and a broye
• learn the rubbing-in technique of mixing
• learn a versatile method of batter mixing by hand
• practice your knife skills and prepare apples & flavorings
• have fun with other awesome students learning & baking together
• learn pro tips you can apply to a variety of similar recipes
• take home what you made as well as the recipes for everything you made in class
• enjoy a guided tasting of berry pie while you learn the 5 steps to tasting like a pro!

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.

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!
