Will I have my own station or am I sharing?

Everyone works through the full process individually — no shared stations unless you are booking the class for two. You'll leave knowing you can actually do this in your own kitchen.

What is your return policy?

For any of our jams, mustards, or sauces, reach out within 14 days if there's ever an issue with what you received — we want you happy with what you're bringing home. Class spots follow our separate cancellation policy above.

Do I get to take anything home?

Yes — you'll leave with what you made, plus the recipe and confidence to make it again on your own.

Do you offer international shipping?

No we ship in the United States only. We charge a flat rate on most items for shipping. Pretzels can only ship within a 2 day window and requires an additional change for Dry Ice shipment.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We get it — plans change. Our policy is that you're responsible for finding someone to fill your spot if you can't make it. Once you do, just let us know and we'll get them set up in your place.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?

Let us know ahead of time and we'll do our best to work with you. Some classes are easier to adapt than others, so the earlier you tell us, the better we can help.

Do I need any experience to take a class?

Not at all. Our classes are built for real people, not professional chefs. We walk you through everything step-by-step, so whether it's your first time in a kitchen or your fiftieth, you'll leave with skills you can actually use.

What should I bring to class?

We provide everything you need — ingredients, tools, and instruction. You should bring an Apron, containers to take home leftovers and some customers bring a sheet pan to take home HOT containers.

How many people are in the class?

Some classes can be as small as 4 but max out at 8.

How long does shipping take?

Shipping times vary by location, but typically take 3-5 business days for domestic orders.

How do I track my order?

Once your order ships, you will receive an email with a tracking number and link.

Can I change my order after placing it?

We process orders quickly, but if you contact us within 1 hour of placing your order, we may be able to make changes.

Kolache in the Kitchen

Who knew I could work with yeast and create both sweet (Kolache) and savory (Klobasnek) goodness! Imagine danishes….this is what we created! Some with cherry or blueberry filling and others with sausage, sage, onions and cream cheese! Oh my, oh my! Sharon was so very patient and encouraging throughout course. I never felt hurried and the class participants mingled, laughed and cheered each other on. This experience was totally worth it! Great outing with friends and BONUS: you come home with goodies, memories and the confidence to bake at home!

Excellent Experience

Fun and educational experience, with multiple delicious outcomes (dishes). Highly recommended. We'll be back!

Had a great time, instructions were easy to follow, instructor was engaging and kept everything moving

Fantastic experience!

Really enjoyed the mozzarella and pizza making class! The owner is amazing! Highly recommend!

Sweet Success

My husband had an upcoming birthday and I knew this class was for him as much as it was for me. And GRACIOUS, was this a great add on gift for him. I really scored some points with these pastries.

Don’t hesitate to sign up for this class! Sharon goes beyond providing the foundational skills that will yield delicious cream puffs and eclairs, she gives you the confidence to pull out the pots and pans and deliver a solo repeat performance.
