Welcome to The Bake Studio at May’s — where butter, flour, and a little magic come together. Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned home baker, our hands-on classes invite you to roll up your sleeves, learn new skills, and leave with something delicious (and a little flour on your apron).

While it is best to take the class with a friend, feel free to come solo with a willingness to share your station with another student and work one on one with them as you will be making the recipe together! Students will be placed into groups of two, share the same mixer and stove top and be working TOGETHER as a pair to mix recipes. We also have tables large enough for groups of 3-4 to work together. Please email us if you would like to work at the same station with someone that bought their ticket separately. 

Workshop Details

When and where?

Our workshops are taught at our wholesale kitchen located at 3497 Holland Road Suite 102, Virginia Beach, VA 23452.

Classes will begin promptly at the scheduled start time, with doors opening 15 minutes prior.If you arrive later than 15 minutes past your class start time, we will be unable to catch you up on your baking instruction and you can watch/view all demonstrations.

FYI

We expect to sell out quickly so reserve your date ASAP! We reserve the right to cancel a class due to bad weather, low enrollment or instructor illness. If this were to occur we would issue a full refund.
