Snacks and water were offered throughout the 2 hour class, which I thought was a nice touch. All the cakes came out so well and they tasted good too. I definitely think this is a great indoor activity to try with your friends or partner. I will definitely check out the other classes offered here in the future, as well.

I had such a wonderful experience visiting in October 2025. I used to live in Queens and was visiting family for a Christening, then headed to Jersey for a funeral, then back to CT. Phew! I was so hungry and had a long drive ahead of me; I saw a few places but something told me to come here. The owner was so incredibly kind and personable! He set me up real quick with a P.B&J + Kale smoothie and some vegan patties: chicken, beef and lentil. They were so delicious. I saved one for hubby then tore one up in the car so there are no pics lol. I should have purchased more (hubby agreed). Places like this are few and far between in CT. I will definitely be back!

I'm really disappointed with this bakery class. I paid $350 and traveled almost 2 hours with…read moretraffic, expecting to actually learn new skills, but it was not worth it at all. The only thing they taught was how to make basic cake bread, which I already knew how to do. When I asked about learning something more advanced, like tres leches cake, I was told that would be covered in the next class--which costs another $350. The space where the class was held was extremely small and uncomfortably hot, and they didn't even offer something as simple as a glass of water. On top of that, they kept trying to sell their own buttercream and other products instead of focusing on teaching. It felt more like a sales pitch than a class. What frustrated me the most was that when it came time to decorate the cake, the instructor just did it for us instead of actually teaching us how to do it ourselves. That completely defeats the purpose of taking a class. This was a waste of time and money. I would not recommend it to anyone looking to genuinely learn baking skills. Estoy muy decepcionada con esta clase de repostería. Pagué $350 y viajé casi 2 horas con el tráfico, esperando aprender cosas nuevas, pero no valió la pena en absoluto. Lo único que enseñaron fue a hacer pan de pastel básico, algo que ya sabía hacer. Cuando pregunté sobre aprender algo más avanzado, como el pastel de tres leches, me dijeron que eso lo verían en la próxima clase, la cual cuesta otros $350. El lugar donde dieron la clase era muy pequeño y hacía muchísimo calor, y ni siquiera ofrecieron algo tan básico como un vaso de agua. Además, constantemente intentaban vender su buttercream y otros productos en lugar de enfocarse en enseñar. Se sentía más como una estrategia de ventas que como una clase. Lo que más me molestó fue que al momento de decorar el pastel, el instructor lo hizo él mismo en lugar de enseñarnos cómo hacerlo. Eso le quita completamente el propósito a tomar una clase. En general, fue una pérdida de tiempo y dinero. No lo recomendaría a nadie que realmente quiera aprender repostería.

Is in the middle of a very busy ave, near the subway. Teacher are amazing. Super friendly, and they have a lot of patient, they let you be creative but at the same time they guide you, and give you constructive critique. While on class you will have a main instructor and and one walking around and helping. They also sell amazing cakes and cupcakes. Big variety of classes from fondant, buttercream, to Macaron and different bakers and instructors /chefs coming to give classes. They offer private classes and master classes with around of a maximum of 15 students. Classes are in Spanish only. I will definitely recommend. They give a lot of tips for future business owner or for people like me that do it as a hobby. I did the master class that is a package of 4 classes. And also a private class to bake a birthday cake for the hubby.

Especially a go-to for flowers for events and parties! I only found one pic from a party I went to a few years ago, I added it below. I ordered a winter-themed centerpiece for Christmas last year that was BEAUTIFUL! It was winter-themed, with glitter even, but not tacky at all. The ladies here are super talented- they can make the most beautiful arrangements that always stand out and are the talk of the party. I can see some of the old reviews are saying the ladies are rude. I know people can have different experiences, but from my experience living in the Polish neighborhood for over 3 years it's kind of the culture to let you do your thing and only help if you need it, or be blunt and straight to the point...they were always polite to me, and my Polish is non-existent. Truly, the talent and arrangements speak for themselves. The line is always out the door for valentine's day and mothers day. Definitely check them out and get some flowers for someone important in your life.

They thought we wouldn't open the wrapping on the bouquet and see the rotting part but you can quite literally smell the rot. Not only that the bow looked like it was smushed in there or carelessly added. It's even more frustrating considering that we've been customers for as long as we've been and my dad also left this woman a TIP. Ridiculous behavior and I can't believe they'd do something like this to basically lifelong customers.
