Learn to Bake or Decorate

Wink hosts monthly workshops at our dedicated kitchen at The Creative Chateau ranging from baking to decorating cakes, cookies, and macarons. Each workshop includes all the equipment needed for the day and you get to take home your dessert item. Each class size is limited to 6-8 seats to allow plenty of one-on-one instruction and Q&A. In our workshops, we teach by show & telling first then allowing you to practice the skill with real time feedback and guidance from Erica and Karen.

Cake classes are fun-centered, social experience with up to 15 attendants where you learn how to decorate a pre-baked, scratch made cake.

Workshops are technique-centered, semi-private with up to 6 attendants where you learn recipes, techniques, make decorations, and decorate a pre-baked, scratch made cake.
