Class Experience

Intermediate Level
We know the magic of learning doesn’t come from a polished production—it comes from real-time support and the expertise of our chef instructors, who guide your child through every step of the way. Each class includes:

✨ Direct Instructor Support – Whether your child needs clarification, has questions mid-recipe, or feels a bit stuck, our instructors are available through the Learner Tab for quick eMail help or can schedule a 10-minute virtual check-in for extra guidance.

✨ Accessible, Student-Friendly Videos – Our videos are crafted by chefs, for young learners. While they may not have Hollywood effects, they are made with your child’s perspective in mind, focusing on clear instructions and showing how fun and achievable these projects are.

✨ Interactive Learning Experience – Unlike typical videos, our classes are designed to engage kids directly with expert help that’s only a message away!

We're here to make sure your child feels supported, empowered, and successful—thank you for choosing a learning experience where help is always at hand.

Your Born Baker chef instructors!

Egg Whites

***Fillings***

*Not Required But Very Helpful:
Oven thermometer -  Each oven is different and sometimes they bake at a wrong temperature; different from the one that was set. It’s really important to bake the shells at the proper temperature to prevent the macaron shells from cracking or drying (too high temperature), undercooking (too low temperature), etc.
