They're "demo" style. We have had as many as 30 or 40 attendees in our live online classes. It would be impractical - if not impossible - to get everyone moving at the same pace. Some might find it very stressful to keep up. With the demo format, the pressure is off. Ken walks through each recipe from start to finish, showing and describing each step. If you have a question, you can ask it, in the comment area, in real time. Then, when you're ready to make the recipes at home, you can rewatch the class, or parts of it, or simply use the recipe downloads that we provide.

You will receive an email from us the afternoon or evening before the class. This email will have what we call the "link page" - everything you need for class, including the link to enter the class, another link to download the recipes, and still other links for some of the products we use in class, in case you want to learn more about them. 

We try to keep them to 1 1/2 hours. That timing seems to work out best for all concerned. Occasionally we'll go a little longer, but 1 1/2 hours is our target. At the end of each class we do a drawing for one of Ken's books, a Pie Academy tote, free class, or some other fun prize.

Absolutely. While a majority of our attendees prefer the "live" experience, about 30% of those who purchase a class do so with the idea to watch it at some future time, sometimes due to a scheduling conflict and sometimes just to have access to the replay and other material we provide. Remember, you get lifetime access to all of the links, which you can always access from the link page we send you. 

We do our best to make the classes fun, informative, and professional. Our goal is to help you become a better, more confident baker and cook. We use three cameras and different angles, allowing you to view Ken's work area from above and close up at counter height. There's a third camera for "talking head" shots, when Ken takes a moment to explain something in a little more detail. We're confident that you'll benefit from and enjoy our live class experience and hope you give it a try.
