It was great. The only inconvenient was it started 30 minutes later than it was posted on coursehorse and they didn’t even let us in until it started.

Fun and well organized class! The instructor Jen and assistant (didn’t get her name- but thank you!) were super patient and fun. Definitely will like to schedule another class!

Very beginner, everything already measured out, so there isn't really much cooking, more assembling. If thats your vibe go for it! Could also benefit from some music playing because definitely awkward silences at times.

Had an amazing class with Chef Jen :) She made baking so easy and fun. Biggest plus that I took home a dozen of delicious French macarons to share with the family. Highly recommended and can’t wait to go back taking another class with her.
