Celebrate Mardi Gras with two beloved traditions: classic beignets and festive king cakes! Beignets, the iconic New Orleans breakfast pastry, are light, yeast-raised treats generously dusted with powdered sugar and best enjoyed with strong black coffee flavored with chicory. King Cakes are made from sweet cinnamon dough and come with a playful surprise—a tiny plastic baby hidden inside. Tradition holds that whoever finds the baby in their slice hosts the next celebration. Decorate your cake with Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold sugar, or add flair with whole pecans and candied cherries. Join us for this fun, hands-on class! Please bring an apron and a to-go container. Class fee includes all cooking ingredients and instructor time.

Participants will learn several methods for pie making including blind baking for cream based pies, and double crust for fruit based pies. And don't worry! You won't go home with just crust! Choose between Cherry or Lemon Meringue to compliment your amazing crust! Pi Day is celebrated yearly on March 14 to celebrate the mathematical number π (pi). The day was established to celebrate the significance of pi and to promote mathematics education, encouraging schools to teach students about pi and its important role in various scientific fields, engineering, and even space exploration. Please bring to class: an apron an empty pie plate if you have one (disposable tin ones will be available) something to carry a hot pie home (ex: hot pads and a box).
