Arrive hungry and ready to participate

Note allergies and dietary preferences ahead of time
The host can adapt toppings but communicates best if you provide dietary restrictions before the class.

You’ll likely take extras home; a small container or reusable bag makes transport simple and reduces waste.
Closed-toe shoes
Protects feet in a busy kitchen and provides stable footing while you bake.
Apron or washable shirt

Notebook or phone for notes
Record recipes, oven times, and adjustments you want to replicate later.
Reusable container
Bring something to carry home leftovers and reduce single-use packaging.
