What is Cake Club?

Cake Club is a hands-on culinary education program created by Chef Jac, a CIA-trained professional baker and former culinary arts teacher.

From baking bread and decorating cakes to making fresh pasta, rolling sushi, and exploring new flavors, classes are all about learning by doing. Students build real kitchen skills, practice problem-solving, get creative with food, and gain confidence in what they can make themselves.

We learn, we experiment, we make a mess, and we eat very well along the way.

What Will My Child Actually Learn?

LEARN REAL KITCHEN SKILLS
Measure, mix, chop, knead, roll, whisk, and follow recipes. Build practical skills that can be used well beyond the classroom.

EXPLORE & CREATE
Make everything from colorful sushi rolls to homemade pasta, pastries, and decorated cakes. Try new ingredients, flavors, and techniques.

PROBLEM SOLVE
Why is the dough too sticky? How do we fix a recipe? What happens when we change an ingredient? The kitchen is a great place to experiment, make mistakes, and figure things out.

BUILD CONFIDENCE & INDEPENDENCE
There's a particular kind of confidence that comes from making something with your own hands, learning to do it yourself, and sharing it with others.
