Space is limited. Generally 8-10 per class.

Bake classes are hands-on and super kid-friendly.

We will walk you through all the steps. Please wear clothes you won't mind getting a little dirty. The class lasts about 3+ hrs and we start on time. There is lots of time for socializing and learning as there are many natural breaks.

This is a learning place, so don't hesitate to ask lots of questions.

We love when kids come and learn. We do not have an age restriction, except for consuming alcohol. We are very family friendly!! <18 require an adult guardian.

Note: This class is super kid-friendly. Great time to get "messy" with cookies.

If the child is "lap-sized" (2-5), they learn for free. This assumes they are sharing the seat with their parent.

If the child is "my own seat-sized" (5-18), we offer a discount on their admission.

Since this assumes they have their own seat, please make a normal ticket purchase including add-ons to secure their seat. In the comments of this order, please enter: this is for a kid, provide age, any special requirements. We will then refund the ticket for this class in the amount of 30%...this takes 48-72 hours.

Note: For kids under 14, you might want to bring some toys or other activities in case they need to change their focus. We do offer kids tours of our gardens during classes when weather permits.

We are just 1.5 blocks from the main public transit route: Stanton St stop serves...

There is also ample parking along Lincoln Ave.

At the corner of Lincoln Ave & Powers Ct, you will see our signs and Friendship Garden. Follow the garden down Powers Ct to the Red Gate. The large flag pole with the Bavarian and Alameda flags is a good marker. The gate opens about 10 minutes before class.
