What types of Baking classes/menus can I choose from?

If the chef comes to your place, they’ll bring everything you need — ingredients, equipment and all the tools to make your baking experience seamless. If you’d rather step out, there are premium third-party venues available in foodie hotspots around town, like Costa Mesa, Irvine and Anaheim. Check the class pages for maps and further details on the location near you that works best for you.
