Baking lessons (virtual or local)
25
Ever wanted to learn how to make cookies from scratch or bake a birthday cake without buying a mix? I can teach you to make cakes, cookies, scones, pies, biscuits, and many other things using tried and true recipes. Send me a message and we can discuss what you would like to learn and how I can best facilitate those lessons, whether through live video lessons, recorded videos, or in person lessons (if you are local to the Phoenix area).
I've spent many years and many long hours in the kitchen to perfect my skills and learn new recipes. I hope to use those skills to teach people that baking isn't nearly as scary as most people seem to think it is. You can wow your family, coworkers, and friends with your homemade pies for Thanksgiving or by bringing a tray of Apple Cider Caramel Stuffed Snickerdoodles to your next office party. There's no reason that you have to buy these items premade at a store and let someone else take the credit. Anyone can bake, it just takes practice, attention to detail, and guidance to get the steps right.
Training & Qualifications
I have worked in commercial bakeries and sold my own products at farmer's markets and trade fairs. I spent some time at culinary school and I've spent most of my life in the kitchen with my family.
I run a small business by the name of Cutie Pies Bakery, where I mostly bake hand pies and make different types of candy (like the ever popular Apple Cider Salted Caramels that were a hit last holiday season), as well as cookies, muffins, and a variety of other goods. I would eventually like to sell my products to coffee shops and eventually branch out into opening my own bakery in the future.
