Recent reviews of Babka, Brioche and French Toast Baking Class

  • 5/5 from Tsveta Petrova, attended Sep 2026: We absolutely loved this class! It was exactly what a hands-on baking class should be: fun, engaging, and genuinely instructive. We got to do the baking while learning proper techniques step by step, and came away feeling like we had really learned how to make something—not just watched a demonstration. Our teacher, Rosemary, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, sociable, patient, and so much fun to spend the class with. We loved her, and she struck exactly the right balance between teaching, chatting with us, and letting us enjoy the experience. The studio itself was another highlight—bright and colorful and just a great space to bake in. And most importantly, the recipe was fantastic. Our brioche came out absolutely delicious. We were supposed to take it home, but that plan did not last long: we literally ate an entire loaf on the walk back to the subway! Such a lovely experience from beginning to end. We will absolutely be back.
  • 5/5 from Saira Jesani, attended Aug 2026: Rosemary was a great mix of lovely, funny, and informative. My bf’s dad had a wonderful time and we both left with one of the best babkas that I’ve personally tasted!
  • 5/5 from A Michael Stern, attended Apr 2026: Clear instructions, all the equipment and ingredients were well-organized, Rosemary was a kind and very knowledgeable teacher, and all three items (babka, brioche, and french toast) turned out really well!

  • 5/5 from Hannah Jay, attended Apr 2026: We had a great time! We were lucky in not having to book a private class while still being the only group (4 people).

Definitely hoping to take another class with her in the future!

  • 5/5 from Anna Stavinsky, attended Mar 2025: Rosemary was wonderful - she taught us how to make babka (choc or cinnamon) and a brioche. The recipes were delicious, easy to follow and fun to make. She is a wonderful and super interesting person. This is not a professional kitchen setup (in case that is what you are looking for) - fyi this is a home that was beautifully transformed into a kitchen, with all of the equipment and accessories that you need. She was also wonderful with kids. We had a great time :)
  • 5/5 from Margot Seidmon, attended Feb 2025: Rosemary was a wonderful teacher! My family took her babka making class and we all had such a great time. Plus the babka was delicious! Rosemary is so accommodating and made the class so enjoyable. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Nidhin Pattaniyil, attended Feb 2025: I booked this class for myself. Rosemary is a great and patient teacher. She was very passionate. She also structured the class perfectly; it never felt overwhelming and felt we were participating fully. My only regret is the bread is a bit addicting. (If possible) Would love lower calorie dessert clases. Given the opportunity, would try to take a future class.
  • 5/5 from Elyse Fischer, attended Feb 2025: So much fun. Rosemary is a great teacher and really interesting. Plus the babka is delicious. I am looking forward to using my dough and making more babka.

  • 5/5 from Lyyte Faridi, attended Feb 2025: My first baking class and it was absolutely fantastic. The instructor did an amazing job walking us through the recipe and it tasted absolutely delicious in the end.
  • 5/5 from Donna M Hill, attended Jan 2025: Rosemary is a delightful person. She takes you through each step of the process; while making sure the class is hands own. It’s helpful to have some basic knowledge of baking, however it’s not necessary. The environment is very inviting, which adds to the artisanal nature of the class. You leave with new knowledge & skills, yummy handmade products to share with friends & family. In addition to a wonderful sense of accomplishment and enriched spirit. There is something to be said for “Surround Yourself with Good People” it will do you wonders
  • 5/5 from Karen Leibowitz, attended Dec 2024: We LOVED our babka class!!! Our instructor, Rosemary, was fantastic. She was so warm and welcoming. And she is so knowledgeable and a great teacher. We did not feel rushed at all. Rosemary answered all of our questions. The class was worth every penny we paid. Not only did we leave with our own freshly baked babka, but we also got dough to make more at home. I HIGHLY recommend this clsss!
  • 5/5 from Barbara Carre, attended Dec 2024: Rosemary is a delight. She is warm, generous and a very knowledgeable baker. She allievated my anxiety of baking with yeast.
