Last of the Winter Fruit (Baking Workshop)

Celebrate the waning cozy, comforting flavors of the season with a baking class that highlights winter’s final sweet treasures. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll craft three decadent desserts that bring warmth, richness, and a touch of nostalgia to the cold-weather kitchen.

You’ll start with a silky, VERY Southern, old-fashioned persimmon pudding, learning how to coax deep flavor and velvety texture from this winter fruit. Then, you’ll bake a gooey cranberry crumb cake, where tart berries, buttery crumble, and tender cake come together in perfect harmony. To finish, you’ll master a Southern classic: chocolate chess pie, with its fudgy, custard-like filling and signature crackled top.

Whether you’re looking to expand your baking skills or savor the last comforting sweets of winter, this class offers warmth, technique, and delicious treats to take home. Come ready to whisk, bake, and enjoy the season’s final indulgences.
