SWEET INDULGENCES

Do sweets make up a food group for you?  For us, too! Sometimes the best way to engage in learning is to have a bit of decadence, don't you agree?

These sessions focus on the delights that satisfy our sweet tooth - from chocolate to cupcakes, if you like to eat it, our area has an expert who can show you how to make it or incorporate it into your culinary creations.
