A heaping cupful of sugar, two eggs, a dash of salt, a pinch of nutmeg, a splash of milk, and a nip of vanilla equal a fantastically failed soufflé. An enthusiastic you, chef Katherine Cardoso, and the beautiful instructional kitchens at the Biltmore’s Culinary Academy equal the Holiday Baking class, AKA your savior from the embarrassment that a Publix pumpkin pie would bring down on your entire family. This year, try dusting off your mixing bowl and dirtying your paws with flour. The friendly folks at one of the nation’s oldest and most spectacular hotels are offering a class where you’ll learn how to make an exquisite cake, your next favorite cookie, and the type of napoleon that will leave your guests feeling like they have sugar-plum fairies dancing on their tongues. Because baking is more of a science than an art, hit the Yule log after class — you’ll need your wits for this one.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
