A decorated cookie is truly more than just a cookie --- it can be a work of art! In this two-day workshop with cake-decorating expert Toba Garrett (who has more than a dozen international gold and silver medals to her name), we celebrate Valentine's Day with a special class that focuses on creative and classical cookie designs. On the first day of class, students will bake cookies, make icing formulas and prep sugar creations. On the second day, students will focus on creating beautiful, eye-catching cookies using the elements from Day One. This detailed class is not to be missed!
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.

ICE’s Fine Cooking series are the classes on which our recreational program’s reputation was built. This intensive course expands on our Fine Cooking 1 series and takes a deeper dive into essential culinary techniques. These full-participation classes teach fundamental skills, not recipes. This course covers everything from fileting a fish, to properly sautéing, to cover poaching techniques and fundamental sauce making. As you advance through the series, you’ll gradually come to understand each cooking concept. You’ll have a firm grasp of ingredients and equipment; you’ll know why things happen; you'll learn how to avoid and correct mistakes. Most importantly, you’ll gain the experience you need to cook with confidence and pleasure - without relying strictly on recipes. Each class culminates with a student-prepared meal. Prerequisite: Fine Cooking 1.
