“Croissants have always seemed intimidating but Lisal made it quite approachable and really fun. We loved the intimate class size, the hands-on teacher participation, and the end result turned out much better than we expected. We honestly can’t think of anything we’d change.”

— Anne C.

  • Small Groups

    Intimate class sizes so you get personal attention and hands-on time with the instructor.

    No experience needed. We walk through every step together from prep to plating.
