Former Garces pastry chef launches series of hands-on baking classes
Adriane Appleby, who launched the pastry programs at Amada (217-219 Chestnut St.) and Tinto (114 S. 20th St.), has created a series of local, accessible, hands-on instructional baking courses dubbed Oh, You Bake.
Appleby, who hosts her classes in the kitchen at Green Line Café (4239 Baltimore Ave.), says the idea to share her knowledge in an intimate setting came to her when she was working at Betty's Speakeasy (2241 Grays Ferry Ave.) after leaving Jose Garces' orbit to do her own thing. "On a daily basis, I was having conversations with people asking how we make everything," says Appleby, currently baking at NoLibs' 1 Shot Coffee (217 W. George St.). "All our customers were really interested in what we were doing in the kitchen."
The Oh, You Bake schedule offers both an eight-week workshop that meets on consecutive Mondays ($400) and one-off classes that take place on Tuesdays ($50), with each three-hour session focused on a different topic. While the workshop builds on baking basics, covering pastries, cookies, quickbreads and cakes with an emphasis on progressing one's overall skills, the Tuesday classes are more thematic — Oct. 25, for example, will see Appleby whipping up Halloween cookies, with the weeks after tackling cupcakes (Nov. 1), jams and preserves (Nov. 8) and pies (Nov. 15). "The classes are super hands-on, and they deal a lot with the actual science of baking, the chemistry going on in each recipe," says Appleby. Ingredients are included in the cost of the class, and of course you get to take everything you make home with you.
Appleby's next eight-week workshop kicks off on Oct. 24 and space is limited. Her website, addysmaes.com, launches Oct. 17, but in the meantime you can get more info by emailing ohyoubake@addysmaes.com.
