Looking to make a spectacular holiday centerpiece? Come to ICE to prepare a gingerbread house of epic culinary proportions. All participants will be able to make their own house using from-scratch cookie dough. After baking, you'll apply all the decorative touches to the gingerbread, including stained-glass windows. While we are working hard on constructing our houses, we'll pop open a bottle (or more than one bottle) of wine for the festivities.

You will work in teams to execute the class menu. At the end of class, participants gather to enjoy the food they have prepared. Wine is served with meals in most classes. All class menus are subject to change. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Students are encouraged to bring a light lunch or dinner to all pastry classes.

Austria and Germany are not often the first places people think of when it comes to wine. Too bad, because Austria is much more than just Grüner Veltliner. Although Germany’s Rieslings are considered some of the world’s best, there is much more to explore. During this wine tour, Richard Vayda, ICE’s resident sommelier, will help demystify the grapes, regulations and labeling that often keep wine lovers away from these great selections. The tasting will include some light matching snacks to accompany these food-friendly wines.
