Discover the art of traditional Irish baking in this hands-on class where we will create a classic Irish Apple Cake with premium organic ingredients. Students will learn how to achieve a tender, flavorful cake using organic stone-milled flours and fresh, seasonal apples selected at the peak of their harvest for exceptional taste and texture.
Throughout the class, participants will explore essential baking techniques, including ingredient selection, proper mixing methods, and how to balance flavors and textures when working with organic, fresh, and seasonal ingredients. The class will cover in detail as we tour where our flour is produced the unique qualities of stone-milled flour and how it contributes to a richer, more nuanced finished product.
By the end of the lesson, students will have prepared their own Irish Apple Cake from scratch and gained practical skills they can confidently recreate at home. Perfect for both beginner and experienced bakers, this class celebrates wholesome ingredients, seasonal produce, and the timeless traditions of Irish home baking.

About your Instructor & BSM Assistant Director of Education:
I received my culinary degree in 2018 and bring over 12 years of experience in the culinary industry, working across both savory and pastry disciplines. My passion for cooking began at a young age alongside my grandmother, where I first learned that food is one of the most powerful ways to share love and create connection.
My cooking is heavily inspired by Italian, Asian, and Latin cuisines, and I enjoy thoughtfully curating flavors to create dishes that feel personal, unique, and memorable. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge I’ve gained over the years and highlighting the beauty of exceptional ingredients—like Barton Springs Mill flour—and how the care and intention we bring to them can transform food into an experience.
My ethos is simple: cook with the seasons, approach every dish with love, have fun in the process, and great food will always follow.
