Getting Baked

Classes at the San Francisco Baking Institute

In college, you used to wake and bake on a regular basis. It may even have been a morning ritual for those four years, straight.

But you’re older now and would love to put a slightly more mature twist on that old tradition.

If, for example, you could get up and make homemade chocolate croissants, then you’d have a house full of very happy campers. But there’s just one problem: Betty Crocker, you are not.

But you do have a secret weapon: The San Francisco Baking Institute.

Sign up for one of their five-day workshops and you’ll be whipping up delectable treats in no time. In Artisan I, you’ll learn techniques to make any bread imaginable, and by the end of the class, you’ll be writing your own recipes. Or enroll in All About Chocolate and learn how to make truffles, cakes, and mousses. Meanwhile, the Breakfast Pastry workshop will have you preparing croissants, cinnamon rolls, brioche, and apple turnovers.

Of course, we can’t guarantee that the fantastic smells won’t cause a case of the munchies.

But you know how to handle that.
