Bake to Basics Class: Desserts 11/2

Sunday November 2, 2025 @ 10:30 am - 1:00 pm

Welcome to Bake to Basics! A 3-part baking series dedicated to giving you the knowledge and inspiration to be a better baker – no matter what your current skill level. These classes are for beginners and experts alike and they are going to be next level. You can take just this class or the entire series (see list below).

In our Bake to Basics Desserts Class, we’ll examine and explore some common ingredients in baking and pastry and unravel what makes them unique! This will help us learn how to use them correctly and instill us all with the sense of confidence we need to move forward. We’ll also make some delicious desserts together to put what we learn into practice: Chocolate Soufflé & The Best Basic Cookie Recipe. In this 2.5hr class, you will learn the science behind these two very different techniques, that are endless to build upon!

We’ll take a deep dive into the fundamental baking ingredients like flours: it’s essential to understand what gluten is, what it does, and why different flours are used for different projects, eggs: their role and everything you should know, and fats: butter vs oil and when to use one or the other! After this class you will be able to write your own recipes!

Join us for the Bake to Basics Series and you will receive a discount on each class. Give our Front Desk a call (585-394-7070) if you’d like to purchase a ticket to all three classes in this three-part series, and they will apply a $5 discount for each Bake to Basics class and get you signed up right over the phone! If you are just purchasing a ticket to this standalone class, you can do that below!

About the instructor: Chef Julian is the Executive Chef and Owner of Canandaigua’s Pintxo Wine Bar, a small-plates restaurant featuring Spanish wines and traditions. His culinary career began in New York City as a stagaire at Le Bernardin. This auspicious start was followed by positions in kitchens around the city, including Lever House Restaurant, Lure Fishbar, and the Crosby Street Hotel, where he was the property’s opening Pastry Chef. Julian launched Melt Bakery in 2010 with just a few hundred dollars. New York City’s first ice cream sandwich store, Melt went on to operate dozens of seasonal locations, over 80 wholesale accounts, hundreds of special events, and two permanent storefronts. Julian and his team served millions of ice cream sandwiches to NYC locals and visitors over Melt’s 12-year run, funding the entire enterprise exclusively with sales. Julian also developed ice cream flavors and formulas for Denver-based Marco Ice Cream, where he was the cofounder and Chief Culinary Officer.

His lifelong love for the Finger Lakes brought Julian back home in 2022, where he and his team launched Pintxo in downtown Canandaigua in May 2024. 

Julian is now writing food, wine, hospitality and entrepreneurship online– check it out here!”

CANCELLATION POLICY:
