Gingerbread House Bake & Build

$45

with Tess Georgakopoulos

Calendar Dec 19, 2025 at 6:30 pm

Gather the whole family and join in the fun baking and building your very own show-stopping gingerbread house from scratch during this festive family bake-along experience. Together, we will combine the wonderful flavors of gingerbread and use the dough to create the pieces that will be used to “build” breathtaking houses. We will also whip up the perfect batch of stiff royal icing—the edible “glue” that holds everything together and is used to decorate the houses with candies and delicious treats.

Participants will receive an ingredient list and prep packet a week in advance of the class to allow time for shopping and preparation. The packet will also include the Instructor’s “Gingerbread House Specific” Recipe that she has tested time and time again to ensure the cookie pieces are delicious but strong enough to hold the weight of the icing and decorations. A template will need to be printed and cut out before class to be used as a “pattern” will be provided. Whether you are starting a new family tradition, or continuing a beloved one, this cozy, joy-filled experience will leave everyone smiling, and maybe sneaking a few gumdrops. By the end, participants will have built not just a work of art, but sweet memories to last a lifetime!

Experience the warmth and elegance of Greek cuisine in this one-of-a-kind cook-along experience with instructor Tess, who brings generations of culinary tradition straight to the table. Tess will guide participants in the step-by-step process of making Dolmáthes—tender grape leaves delicately filled with savory rice and seasoned meat filling, then gently simmered and finished with a luxurious velvety avgolemono sauce, a classic emulsion of fresh lemon juice and egg.  To complete the meal, participants will also bake a loaf of crusty artisan bread—perfect for savoring the bright, savory essence of the rich lemony sauce. Cherished at holiday gatherings and family feasts throughout Greece and beyond, Dolmáthes are more than a meal—they’re a tradition. Join in an evening of soulful cooking, rich flavor, and timeless technique as you learn to craft this classic from scratch with guidance rooted in generations of experience.
