Step aside, PSL—it’s time to give fall’s favorite ingredient the culinary spotlight it deserves! Join us in the studio for The Pumpkin Masterclass, a sweet, hands-on deep dive into the art of autumn baking. From silky spiced custards and pillowy cakes to flaky, buttery pastries, you’ll learn how to transform real pumpkin into showstopping fall desserts that go far beyond basic pie.

In this interactive workshop, our pastry instructor will guide you through the science and technique of pumpkin prep. You’ll master balancing warm autumn spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and cardamom), incorporating pumpkin purée into various doughs and batters without losing structure, and achieving the ultimate textures for fall entertaining!

What You’ll Bake & Learn:

Pumpkin Chai Streusel Bread: Moist pumpkin loaf spiced with black tea aromatics (cardamom, ginger, clove), topped with a crunchy brown sugar streusel.

Rustic Pumpkin & Goat Cheese Tart: A savory-sweet galette featuring roasted pumpkin slices, caramelized onions, fresh thyme, and tangy goat cheese on a flaky crust.

Pumpkin Maple-Pecan Scones: Flaky cut-in scones packed with toasted pecans, finished with a rich maple syrup glaze.
