Great class and very tasty. 12 people in the class (3 groups of 4) just about worked. More people would have been bit uncomfortable. We got through plenty of recipes. Will probably go back for other classes.

Such a great experience with Chef Katie! Our class size was intimate so it really felt like we were just hanging out with friends. Great music was playing, we were allowed to bring our own bottle of wine, and the recipes were easy to follow and tasted delicious. Would highly recommend this course for a birthday gift, date night, parent anniversary gift, etc. Chef Katie's ambiance and decor is so cute and inviting! We were able to take home a huge portion of what we made in a box and she even gave us a great suggestion on where to get a bite to eat/drink locally after. 5 stars from my cousin and I!

I enjoyed the class and got what I wanted from it. However, I would have liked it better if there had been more time to finish things properly (fully cool the creme patissiere, fully dry out the eclair and cream puff shells) and if there'd been freer people per station. Four people sharing the hand's on part of the class with one batch of ingredients and one set of equipment for all of them to share, felt like not enough hands on for me.

She is a great chef who is patient in teaching various baking techniques. However, some recipes done in class were not listed on the recipe page, but rather explained verbally afterwards, when asked upon request. The chef said it was completely alright to take pictures, but when I did during her demonstrations on more difficult or skilled techniques, she would block or cover her hands, suddenly move away, or stopped demonstrating the technique altogether, and refused to show the technique again. What the chef says does not match her actions in class. Outside of that odd experience, the chef seems to have a pleasant personality and teaches well if you do not take any pictures. So I give the class an overall 4 stars.

Katie was very attentive to all that attended the class. The room and setup was very professional and comfortable. My friends and I enjoyed every minute. As for my pals this was a Christmas gift so it was important that they had a great time and they did!!!
