My sister & I booked the Babka & Kolaches baking class. We enjoyed the entire, in person experience & would recommend this class. Lenka thoroughly explained every step of the way. We learned a lot about her cultural baking & it was delicious! Fun & entertaining class.

Lenka was a wonderful hostess. She made us feel right at home. She loves what she does and it shows. Her directions were clear and easy to follow. She walked us through each step and made things easy. We left with tasty treats, and the knowledge needed to make them again by ourselves. Kudos to Lenka.

The baking experience with Lenka was a 10 out of 10! She had the baking stations all set up for us when we arrived and explained the pastries we were baking. She also had champagne, sparkling water and snacks for us during the class. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

It exceeded our expectations!! Lenka is amazing and made the experience wonderful for us! We can’t wait to do it again and try some of the recipes at home!! Would highly recommend this for all ages!!

Lenka was very knowledgeable. She was able to not only explain how to make the pastries, but how the ingredients worked together. She was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the class very much and loved the kolaches and babka!

We had a wonderful experience with Lenka! The recipes she teaches were passed down from her grandmother, and even as a frequent baker, I learned so much! We made delicious babka and kolaches that we got to take home for the rest of our family to enjoy, and Lenka provided us with electronic copies of the recipes so we can make them again at home. We especially loved filling and shaping the kolaches! Lovely way to spend the morning!

Lenka is a patient and kind instructor who opens her home for intimate cooking classes. My husband and I enjoyed baking after a day on the ski hill.

My husband and I took this class while on vacation in Park City. What fun! We each had our own prep station, and Lenka patiently walked us through the process, step by step. She is a fantastic teacher. We had multiple options for fillings: fruit jams, chocolate, sweet cheese, etc., and Lenka encouraged us to be adventurous (I never would have tried sauerkraut with plum jam on my own, but OMG it’s delicious!). For our class, we each made 6 kolaches and a loaf of babka. We baked the kolaches there and sampled them (SO GOOD!), and brought the babka back to our condo to bake later. We enjoyed learning about the history of the pastries, and how they vary from country to country. Lenka provides a recipe booklet to take home which also includes recipes for different fillings, and some additional ways to use the dough. We highly recommend Lenka’s class for couples, a group of friends, or anyone who wants to learn how to make something new!

Lenka was kind and made the evening special for a couple who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. I would highly recommend her classes.
