Walked away with a stash of patisseries I couldn’t have ever dreamed of making in my own kitchen. Somehow Laura is patient and calm; yet detailed and meticulous and manages to breakdown and simplify very complex recipes. Plenty of variation and plenty of opportunity to snack on what you’re baking along the way. I walked away searching the other classes available, that is how enjoyable this was. read less

We also had a vegan person in our class so it was great trying both the vegan and non-vegan options.I look forward to baking some of the other recipes in the recipe book we were given, and making my own gluten free flour! read less
