Gather up your friends, family, or coworkers for a memorable experience full of good fun and great flavor at BAKE!, Zingerman's hands-on teaching bakery. We have an extensive list of recipes and courses and offer dozens of different bread, pastry, cooking, and cake classes year-round. Create a hands-on baking class sure to wow your crew. Jam-packed with techniques, recipes, and inspiration to make again at home.


BAKE! private events are a great option for birthday celebrations for kids or adults, social gatherings with family or friends, or team bonding. Let us know the items you’re interested in making from our various classes and we can work with you to make a class that flows well!

In-Person Baking and Cooking Classes

To learn about our offerings or to get ideas for your private event, head on over to our Classes By Name page. You can find the cost per person, content, and duration by clicking on the individual class names.

Our in-person sessions take place at our BAKE! facility on Plaza Drive in Ann Arbor (near the Costco). We’ll provide the apron, the ingredients, and the instructions, and do all the measuring and clean up! To get the most out of your time in our commercial kitchens we keep our sessions to 6 to 10 people.

We teach every Wednesday through Sunday and can create morning, afternoon or evening sessions. Weekend bookings have premium prices as we reserve those times for our public classes. However, the further you book out your private class, the more likely we can find time for a weekend event.

Virtual Baking and Cooking Classes

Our virtual baking and cooking private classes can happen anywhere you have internet and a kitchen!  This is a wonderful way to bring your group together from the comfort of your own kitchens. 


For virtual sessions you’ll provide and prepare the ingredients in advance, grab your aprons and cookware, and we’ll provide the recipes and instructions. Our virtual events have 6-20 students (or devices) so our instructors can have individual time with each student.
We may be able to accommodate fewer or more students, please let us know how we can help!

The minimum number of attendees per class is 6 students (or devices, if virtual). In-person pricing starts at $110 per person and virtual pricing starts at $60 per person. BAKE! classes typically range from 3 to 4 hours in length but we can accommodate a shorter or longer duration depending on the content you would like to see.

The more lead time the better! Our classes fill up quickly and we recommend booking your private class at least 2 months in advance, especially if you’d prefer a weekend event. Once you have filled out our private class inquiry form, we’ll contact you to discuss the next steps! Please be specific as possible when inquiring about your event so we can make your request happen quickly and efficiently.
 

We look forward to baking with you!
