Agenda - The Bake Fest 2023

The Bake Fest is an online event that will be held from 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM CDT (GMT-5) on 20 May 2023 and 21 May 2023. We realize that based on your time zone you may not be able to attend the entire event. That’s why your ticket includes event recordings available for one year after the event so that you’ll be able to catch up on anything you miss and rewatch your favorites.

Ticketholders will receive a supply list two weeks prior to the event so you’ll be able to follow along with the instructor.

*** Note that sessions and times are subject to change.
