BAKE! with Zing - BAKE-cations

Home > Classes > BAKE-cations

Our BAKE-cations are the ultimate experience for the home baker! We guide you through a comprehensive education in bread and pastry techniques in a fun, exciting, relaxed and always hands-on classroom full of good humor and expert instruction. We feature both week-long and weekend BAKE-cations that include breakfast and lunch everyday, and we promise that you'll need to bring along an empty suitcase to bring home all the great stuff you've made.

Midwest Living calls the BAKE-cation One of 10 Trips You'll Talk About: “The program is a chocolate-dipped, cream-filled opportunity to learn from the best.”

Learn the theory and the practice behind different styles of breads—chemically leavened, straight doughs, liquid sponges, and sourdoughs.

What folks are saying about our BAKE classes!

"The best part is you get to make a mess doing the fun stuff: baking. Zingerman's takes care of the not-so-fun prep work and cleanup. [The classes] are designed for all skill levels, from Martha Stewarts in the making to those whose baking experience consists of popping open a tube of refrigerated cookie dough."

I learned things that are not in cookbooks!
