FAQs

Describe your virtual class

Classes come with different size and duration options based on what you decide to bake.

Cozy Cooking

This class is perfect for up to 20 eager bakers wanting to learn. It's highly interactive, with verbal and chat function engagement. Guests get individual attention with a focus on learning baking techniques. It runs between 60-75 minutes or one-and-a-half to two hours.

The Big Bake

Best for groups of 20-100 who want to bake along or just watch. Interaction is mainly through the chat function, with the instructor providing info and tips to keep the session flowing. These run for 60-75 minutes or one-and-a-half to two hours.

Live Demo

Great for groups who can't bake along or larger classes over 100. Limited Q&A via chat since it's a demo. The chef will share techniques and advice, with some pre-prepared elements for 'show and tell'. These workshops last 60 to 90 minutes.

Can your show be customized for clients?

Sometimes, with at least one month's notice. It helps to know the client's event priorities; is it the recipe or the duration; employees having fun together or learning a new skill? Some recipes require a lot of time, like decorating cookies or baking bread. If the class is inexperienced, some parts may take longer to grasp. Participants must have fun and feel accomplished. The more 'wow' factor the bake, the more likely it needs to be a demo, not a bake-along.

Do you offer both pre-recorded and live-streamed shows?

Our baker loves the energy and fun of a live show, but she can offer pre-recorded content with about one month's notice. For the pre-recorded events, it's very important to know if a client wants a session that feels like a one-take show paced so that participants can bake along. The other option is for it to be like a TV show, where elements are sped up. This impacts the recipes that can be created in a given timeframe and can't be undone once shooting occurs.

Where is your show set up?

The show takes place in our baking kitchen; the setup will be moving to a demo stage located in a new teaching kitchen soon.

How many cameras do you use in your virtual show and what is the quality?

A single-camera shoot facing the instructor with a good view of the workspace, typically using a laptop, wireless mic, and umbrella lighting.

What levels of interaction are there with live audiences?

Interaction depends on audience numbers; there's an on-screen instructor plus a sidekick who responds to guests via chat.

What platforms do you use?

Our virtual baker has used Zoom and Google Meets.

Do you have a technician that helps with the setup of your virtual show?

Our booking always includes a sidekick facilitator to assist participants via chat, liaise with the client during the show, and offer technical help as needed.

Do guests need anything to participate?

Anyone baking along should have access to essential tools (measuring cups & spoons, bowls, whisk, spatula, knife, baking pans). If special tools are needed, it will be indicated (i.e.: mixer, rolling pin). Guests receive a PDF of recipes, tips, and if applicable, a shopping list.

Are you happy to have a technical call or rehearsal session with the client before the show?

With enough notice, our baker is happy to arrange a technical call.
