How the Hamantaschen and Jam Class Works
The hamantaschen and jam class is a hands-on baking adventure that needs no baking experience, only your team, your creativity and a love for good cookies. Together the group mixes, shapes, fills and bakes, making the seasonal jam from scratch and using it to fill the cookies. The cookies need an oven to bake, and of course everyone tastes along the way. The class keeps the group moving between stations, which makes it easy to talk and laugh while baking.
How Many People Can Join?
When the chef travels, the hamantaschen and jam class takes 10 to 120 guests. That range covers a ten-person team, a full department or a company-wide session in a large room. The class is priced per guest, and a flat travel charge is added once per booking for bringing the class to your location, so the full total appears before you request to book.
Where It Happens
For this version of the hamantaschen and jam class, the chef travels to the customer: your office, a meeting room or another business venue in San Francisco and nearby. The chef travels to corporate offices and business venues only, not private homes. Bringing the class on site keeps the group in a familiar space and saves everyone a commute. Groups that would rather use a ready-made setting can book the same class at the chef's private dining room in San Francisco, which takes up to 60 guests.
Good Fit For
As a team building baking class, the hamantaschen and jam class lets every guest finish with something they made themselves. Among team building activities, the hamantaschen and jam class keeps hands busy and conversation going for the full two hours.
- Team building that needs no baking experience
- Holiday parties with a seasonal baking theme
- Workshops on cookie shaping and jam making
- Birthday gatherings for adults who like to bake
- Networking groups that want a relaxed, shared task
Who Teaches the Class
The owner and chef instructor teaches every session. With 15 years as a culinary instructor, more than 400 classes and over 12,000 students over the past eight years, she specializes in interactive team-building cooking experiences for corporate clients. Her background runs from Southeast Asian cooking to Italian cuisine, pastry arts and cake decorating, and she has taught culinary arts at several schools and trained with experienced pastry professionals at a local bakery. Guests often mention how fantastic and funny she is as a teacher.
Can the Menu Work for Dietary Needs?
Yes. Ingredients, recipes and menus for the hamantaschen and jam class are fully customizable to suit preferences, dietary needs and the event theme. Allergies and dietary needs are confirmed at least seven days before class, which gives the chef time to plan substitutions for the whole group.
Planning Notes
The onsite hamantaschen and jam class runs two hours, so it slots into a workday afternoon or follows a meeting. Book at least seven days ahead: allergies and dietary needs are confirmed seven or more days before class, and rescheduling also needs seven days of notice. The class involves sharp tools and hot surfaces, so participation is at each guest's own risk, and photos or videos may be taken during the session.
