Demonstration
… just here for a good time & tasty treats!

Minimal Hands-On
Starts at $495 (up to 8 participants)
Max 24 participants

Participants are seated and observe the instructor… with a few opportunities for “audience volunteers” to assist with hands-on tasks! 
Everyone enjoys sample-serving(s) of what is made in class.  Like our other classes, each guest receives a recipe packet to take home.

Hybrid/Group Work
… have fun together & try a few kitchen tasks!

Light/Medium Hands-on
Starts at $850 (up to 8 participants)
Max 16 participants

Pairs or small groups of participants work together to make the recipe (not everyone has to get hands-on, but each grouping needs a couple active participants to execute the recipe). 
BYOB and/or outside catering can be enjoyed toward the end.  We eat what we made together; participants may take home leftovers if desired and everyone gets a copy of the recipe packet.

Masterclass
… get in-depth & build kitchen confidence!

VERY Hands-on
Starts at $850 (up to 8 participants)
Max 8-12 participants (depends on class)

Like the ticketed public classes, each participant makes the full recipe(s) from start to finish!
Masterclasses are focused on building skills & learning techniques with a lot of hands-on participation of guests.  Due to the need for all guests to follow detailed instructions, alcohol is not permitted. Participants take home what they made and their own copy of the recipe packet!

Virtual
… transcend time & space!

Flexible Hands-on 
Ranges $495 - 995 (depends on class content)
for up to 95 participants

Like your very own cooking tv show, but you can participate in your own kitchen and ask questions live during the event!
We send the recipe packet PDF and shopping list ahead of time, set up a Zoom link, etc. We can also record the session, so your folks who couldn’t make it live can enjoy it too!

FAQ for Private Events

  • Private events take planning, so try for at least 6 weeks in advance. Occasionally I can pull something together sooner.

  • Most private events take place on weekdays at either 10:00am or 2:00pm.

    Late afternoons/evenings and Saturday afternoons are occasionally available.

  • The base price listed on each private class is the minimum, even if fewer people are participating.

  • A $300 nonrefundable deposit is required to book your event.

    Once the deposit is received, I hold the time on my calendar, reserve the room, book a class assistant if needed, and begin preparations on your event.

    If the client cancels, Homemade keeps the deposit. If Homemade must cancel, for any reason, any fees collected (including the deposit) will be refunded.

  • A lot of work goes into private group events beyond just holding the date.

    If the client cancels, Homemade keeps the deposit. If Homemade must cancel, for any reason, any fees collected (including the deposit) will be refunded promptly.

  • Some classes can be adapted to accommodate dietary restrictions, but not all.

    Please clearly communicate any and all dietary needs before finalizing your booking. Last-minute requests cannot be accommodated.

    The kitchen is not allergen-free and we do NOT guarantee against trace elements.

  • No, but I highly recommend Muddy’s Bake Shop for kids’ groups— they offer cupcake & cookie decorating parties that are a big hit!

  • It depends on the participation style of the class you’ve chosen.

    • Demonstration classes : You’re welcome to responsibly enjoy alcohol during the class.

    • Group-work classes: Alcohol may be enjoyed after the hands-on portion is complete.

    • Masterclasses: As these involve a high degree of student participation and attention to detail for the duration of class, alcohol is not permitted.

  • It depends on the participation style of the class you’ve chosen.

    • Demonstration classes & Virtual classes : wear whatever you want!

    • Group-work classes & Masterclasses: Wear comfortable & casual clothes, minimal jewelry, and sensible shoes that protect your foot— NO sandals or high heels. We provide aprons.

  • The Homemade Kitchen’s classroom shares an event room with Muddy’s Bake Shop, located at 2497 Broad Ave 38112. Look for the door labeled “classes & events”!

Let’s Get Started!

Share a few details about your group and the kind of event you’re most excited about.

Homemade is a very small operation and most of my time is spent in the kitchen (not on the computer)…
the booking process will go more smoothly if you’ve already reviewed the class info & FAQ above!
