If you are in the Chicagoland area, I hope we can connect in-person soon.
If you are outside of this area, and are interested in a class, please reach out and see if we can schedule a zoom class. If you haven’t tried taking a zoom baking class, I recommend giving it a try. I’ve found that I really like this format, since it gives my students a chance to practice the lessons as I teach and ask questions as we go. Additionally I’m able to keep the cost reasonable.
I am also scheduling private classes in my home or yours. Contact me directly for more information.
Keep scrolling to the bottom of this page for links to upcoming public library classes that I am teaching soon.
Public Classes
I am currently teaching at Stevenson High School in Lincholnshire, IL through their community education program. We meet in the culinary arts class room for evening classes – generally about 2 hours long. This format allows for hands-on learning. We typically work in groups of 2-4 and class size is generally limited to 16 students. Classes at Stevenson are $49/person.
In 2026 I will also begin teaching at Ethereal Confections in Woodstock, IL. We will be working in their kitchen space and classes will have a hands-on learning approach. Some classes will also include a glass of wine and/or chocolate – check out the class descriptions for more information. Classes at Ethereal are typically $65/person.
