Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous cooking or baking experience?

No. Most classes are welcoming to beginners, and instructors demonstrate the techniques step by step.

Are children and teens permitted?

Age requirements vary by class. Many workshops welcome guests age 10 and older, while guests ages 10–15 must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Always confirm the specific product page before purchasing.

Can you accommodate food allergies?

Please contact Crave before purchasing. Classes take place in a working bakery kitchen that handles common allergens, so an allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed.

What happens if Crave cancels a class?

Crave may reschedule a class because of inclement weather, low enrollment or instructor illness. Registered guests will receive direct instructions.

What is the refund policy?

Purchases for classes, workshops, bakeshops and live events are non-refundable and non-transferable.
