Holiday Pies

Learn the basics and feel empowered to bake your own show-stopping pies this holiday season. This beginner class will cover how to make a great pastry pie crust (it's not as hard as it looks), basic fruit fillings and ideas for simple but stunning decorative crust designs, including lattice work and pastry flowers. We'll eat some pie and drink coffee under the oaks, and everyone will make their own fried fruit-filled hand pies to take home.

***Not suitable for those with wheat allergies or sensitivities.
