Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this candy making class:

Join us for an afternoon of confection-making, to enjoy yourself or to give as a gift for the upcoming holiday season (how generous!). This class is suitable for ages 12+, as long as they are registered along with an adult. 

Chef-Instructor Erica Wides will teach you how to pull and shape sugar candy, make velvetty chocolate truffles, and create your own signature brittle! You'll take your confections home in a gift box to share with others.

  • Hand-Pulled Candy Canes
  • Assorted Chocolate Truffles
  • Spiced Caramel Brittle

Important:

  • Please reach out to CourseHorse for any dietary restrictions.
  • Make sure to ring the outside buzzer, even if the front door is open, so we know you are arriving!

A NOTE ABOUT VACCINATION STATUS:

As we dip our toe into in-person classes again, we are requiring that everyone who registers for our classes be fully-vaccinated by the date of class. (You will be asked to upload a photo of your vax card before class). This is meant to create a safe and relaxed, communal cooking environment for everyone.

School Notes:

PLEASE NOTE: If you are registered for a “VIRTUAL” class, you can disregard the information below.

FOR NYC CLASSES:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen.

Classes are not refundable.

For Culinary Boot Camps:

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to everyone who misses a class, as it happens too often. As a consolation we have two options for making up missed classes, provided you alert us ahead of time.

  • Send a friend in your place (and make them cook you a meal based on their new skills, as repayment!), or
  • Opt for our “Plan B” program: You can register for any single class that covers the same/similar coursework you missed, provided it still has an open seat 48 hours before it runs. That way you can take another class and we are just filling empty seats. Please note, this is a last-minute, drop-in option, not something that can be scheduled more than 2 days in advance. This does require that you keep tabs on our schedule to see what is available (the number of open seats is part of every class listing).

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

Thank you for understanding!

    Anonymous review on 12/18/2022
    Class was really fun and the teacher, Erica, was excellent. The one disappointment was that I communicated with the school a month ahead of the class that my son had a nut allergy and would need some accommodation m and this was not communicated to the teacher. Fortunately we were early to class so she was able to have a nut alternative delivered before we got too far under way. Given that this is a serious medical issue I was very disappointed that the ball was dropped.

    Erica was very nice and prompt but the class lacked equipment. there was 1 pot, 1 broken burner, and all we did was watch her most of the time, it was supposed to be a full participation class according to the description, but all we did was watch Erica then finally at 8:15 we rushed to coat the truffles and make the candy canes at the last 20-30 minutes of the class...Wow we got to take turns stirring the ganache, for 5 seconds each, we should have had our own batches to make. The batches were so small and there was 10 people in the class. Very disappointing and won’t book with u again. This was my 3 cookie or chocolate class in 2 weeks and the only one that was good was with Katie in Brooklyn, the macaroon class in the hotel in NY and this one were the worst. Very disappointing

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students enjoyed the homemade holiday candy class at Bake + Take, especially praising the expertise and organization of the teacher, Erica. They appreciated her cooking tips and the chance to virtually cook in a group setting. Most students found the class to be fun, and instructive and liked that the final dishes turned out delicious. It seems the classes could benefit from more individual student cooking opportunities and ensuring students’ dietary needs are consistently communicated to the instructor. Direct student quotes: 1. "Fun! The class was well organized. The teacher was great, knowledgeable, prepared, and explained things well." 2. "My dishes were delicious, plus I enjoyed the extra cooking tips. Well done!"
