Cooking Class - 4-Day Foodie Fun Kids: Baked Beauties

Wonderful experience

Croissant Class Review – Disorganized and Unhygienic Experience I attended this croissant-making class with two friends, excited to learn something new and enjoy a fun day out. Unfortunately, the experience was far from what we expected—and not in a good way. To start, we weren’t given the printed recipe until the end of the class, which made it difficult to follow along or understand the steps ahead of time. Instructions were given verbally and often too late. For example, we were told to mix salt into the flour in the first step, but the instructor didn’t know which unlabeled container had the salt. We unknowingly mixed in sugar instead. As we moved on to the dough-making process, the dough seemed overly dry. Rather than helping us adjust it with clear measurements or guidance, the instructor pulled a jug of milk from the fridge and poured an unmeasured amount into the mix. Moments later, she declared the dough unusable and tossed it in the trash, which left us confused and frustrated. The issues continued during the rolling and shaping phases. We had already started rolling out the dough before the instructor explained it had to be done in a very specific way. And when it came time to fold the chocolate croissants, she explained the technique only to one person at a different table. Our group followed what we saw, but when we finally received the recipe at the end, we realized we had folded them incorrectly. But the most unacceptable part of the experience came toward the end of the class: I spotted a roach on our workstation. It climbed up onto the table, and the fourth person at our station had to throw it away. That was the final straw for us. Overall, this class was disorganized, poorly managed, and unsanitary. While the idea of a croissant class is appealing, the execution here missed the mark in just about every way.

We had Chef Westin and the class was great and delicious food. I did however expect that dessert was part of the cooking instructions. It would have been nice if there was at the very least a demonstration by the Chef on making the dessert while we stirred Risotto for the 30+ mins. We were just handed our soufflé rather than learn how to make it. Overall great class. Thank you

Amazing experience!

Great experience. Only negative was we felt a little rushed to get the class over with.

We enjoyed a lot! I will recommend doing this to family and friends. Chef Michael was awesome!

Great fun with my granddaughter.

Chef was amazing and very engaging!

What a wonderful evening. Learned some new techniques, cooked some new dishes, met some new friends. Totally enjoyable throughout.

Fun. Great experience. Good information. Hands on learning topped off with a beautiful meal.

Great class. Chef Michael was informative, organized and knowledgeable. Food was delicious, class easy to follow and recipes will be attainable at home.

Chef Michael was awesome, great at explaining each step and reasoning with a very fun and casual delivery. Would recommend to anyone.

We loved the experience with chef Michael! He kept the class interesting, fun, and he's full of knowledge! Only thing is that the pizza should've had more toppings, but that's not his fault. We'd do it again hands down

Nice teacher but would have preferred to not share a station - 4 people meant we spent too much time waiting and watching. Wished we had come home with baked croissants since that was the main feature advertised. Otherwise we learned a lot and the cinnamon rolls and pain de chocolate were delicious.

Chef Michael was very helpful . This class was fun and he taught us some techniques to improve our skills to prep and present meals.

Great class. Really enjoyed it

The class was informative &’ I cannot wait to cook the recipe myself at home. The only thing I would change would be the large amount of other students in the class. It felt a bit rushed through. I was hoping for a bit more teacher/student learning experience, especially with all of the chopping that was needed. I am looking forward to taking more cooking classes, but I am not sure I’ll visit this place again.

This was both fun and informative, full of useful tips.

We had a amazing date night! The chef was spectacular as was the food! We made new friends and a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to do it again!

Was very enjoyable! Learned a lot!!

The class was great! Everything turned out as I expected.

Chef Michael simplifies everything

Everything was great! We learned so many useful things and want to take another class again soon

Thank you Chef Michael. Sappy and l where blown away. We look forward to another class. See you soon

We will definitely be back! Ten out of Ten would do again. Have a great time, learned and was encouraged to probe Chef Michaels brain and experience. I am very excited to try our recipes for the holidays!

Fun class. A little complicated with the dumpling dough, but we got through it and the food tasted great.

Loved it, but would have preferred smaller class size so that we could work in groups of two.

I enjoyed the class. The chef was really personable, knowledgeable and professional. He explained everything clearly. The food was great at the end.

This class was fun and educational for my daughter and her friend. They both learned some techniques and were given appropriate attention.

My husband and I had an enjoyable time. The food turned out excellent. Chef Joy and the others in the class were delightful to be around. There was a lot of standing. I wish we had been able to at least sit down to eat the delicious food. Overall great experience.

It was excellent. It was very hands on, and the class was small. Justin, the chef that was the class instructor, is a fantastic, hands on teacher.

The class was great! The menu was delicious and doable at home. The instructor was spot on. Looking forward to doing the next class!

Class was fun , my teen grandson loved it. We can't wait to do another class together.

Amazing class. Chef and her assistant were wonderful! Highly recommend.

This was the first cooking class I have ever taken! It was very informative and I enjoyed the class . I will be taking more classes in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our class. The instructor made our class so much fun. The macarons were delicious. Looking forward to more classes.

This class was great! Very informative and lots of fun, the instructors were very helpful (and the food was delicious!). I highly recommend this class and look forward to taking another class soon.

This was the first cooking class I took, it was great! Greg, the chef, did such a great job teaching the class. I'm looking forward to going to more classes.

The Instructor was "world class" with supportive instructions and humorous analogies. Considering taking the class for a second time.

Loved the class! Chef did a great job teaching us these recipes. I can not wait to take more classes.

Excellent class. Chef Michael made it fun and informative.

The class was really fun and informative. My girlfriend and enjoyed it as a birthday gift. We will definitely attend more classes in the future.

Absolutely loved the class. I'm an experienced baker and have wanted to make macarons. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable. I enjoyed the class so much, I'm considering taking the class again as it was so much fun!!!

Fabulous class, food was fantastic and met some great people! This was my second class, I'm signed up for several others!!

Great class. I learned a lot and class was very hands on.
