Pies for Thanksgiving - Private Class
Comm Ed - Private Culin | This program is unavailable. Please select a different program.
When it comes to pie... why choose? Join us in this private pie-making class where you'll make TWO classic pies, just in time for Thanksgiving! Chef Marks' signature pecan pie cuts the sweetness with a healthy addition of bourbon, and her pumpkin pie is anything but bland! Participants will take home two pie shells, and the fillings stored separately - ready for the freezer. Simply assemble and bake fresh for Thanksgiving!
If you've got 'em, bring your favorite pie dish(es) from home to class so that your holiday pies really make a statement on the dining table this Thanksgiving! If not, we are happy to provide disposable tins for your take-home pies. Either way, that's the holiday desserts, DONE!
Ages Requirement: Ages 14 & up. Kids between the ages of 10-13 must be accompanied by a registered adult.
