Oh no! Are all the holiday preparations getting you down?? Don't fret, Nancy's team will help you get your baking done in no time at all! You will go home with ten dozen cookies in all. In this hands-on class, you will be working in pairs. You will be provided with cookie dough, and everything you need to form, trim, and decorate the cookies. Your cookies will be baked for you by Nancy's team in large commercial ovens. Hairnets and gloves will be provided, but bring your own apron if you like. And most important, bring containers to carry home your ten dozen treats. Please arrive on time and plan on staying the full three hours, which includes assisting with clean-up at the end of class. Due to safety restrictions, and out of respect for the adult attendees, no children are allowed in or near the class. If you cannot find child care, you may send someone in your place. Please be respectful to others: if you are ill, you may find someone to take your place in the class. Cookies will not be provided for no-shows. There is an $18 food supply fee payable to the instructor in class. We are sorry we cannot accommodate nut allergies in this class. This class is for adults 18 and over only.

New Class! After keeping her Copycat Cinnabon® Cinnamon Roll recipe a secret for many years, Tess has decided to share it for the first time with her students. She has been told often that her rolls are considered better than actual Cinnabon® rolls. You will love these pillowy, warm, luscious, gooey, rolls topped with cream cheese frosting that is out-of-this-world delicious. In this class, students will also cook-along to create a wonderful winter treat known as Hot Cocoa Bombs as the rolls are rising. For the Cocoa Bombs, you will need to purchase a Cocoa Bomb Silicone Mold, available at most craft stores. An ingredient list for both recipes will be provided before the class.
