We don't know about you, but we personally think that Donuts are the ultimate comfort food. Always there when you need them to sweeten up your day!
In this fun-filled interactive class, you will enjoy working alongside classmates to make yeast-raised donuts from scratch! Our experienced Pastry Chef Instructor will guide you step-by-step in replicating the process of making, kneading, proofing, resting and shaping the dough, before teaching you how to bake your own donuts. You will then learn how to create classic glazes (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) and flavored cream fillings. Once you have created your donut delights, share in the fruits of your labor with your newfound foodie friends. There's nothing like enjoying a doughnut while it's still warm!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, especially if you’re part of a large group. Guests in the same booking party will sit and work together throughout the class, sharing ingredients and equipment. Outside drinks are not allowed. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. 21+ only.
