Steve Konopelski, pastry chef and owner of Turnbridge Point bed and breakfast in Denton will be teaching a four-part Thanksgiving baking series throughout November. Konopelski is a classically trained pastry chef who will soon be competing in Food Network’s Holiday Baking Championship, which premiers on November 1st at 9:00 p.m.
The Thanksgiving baking series includes four classes. The first class on November 3rd will feature two pie recipes and tips for making the perfect homemade pie crust. The second class on November 10th will focus on decorating techniques for cakes and cookies. The third class on November 17th will feature four different cookie recipes that incorporate fall flavors. The final class on November 23rd will feature sweet and savory breakfast breads.
“Baking is a true art form,” says Konopelski. “I love helping people create something they’re proud to show off and share with others. Thanksgiving provides the perfect opportunity to do that.”
Before graduating at the top of his class from the renowned French Culinary Institute, Konopelski was a Broadway performer. His theater background helps him create a class atmosphere that is engaging and fun. “We’re learning professional baking techniques, but we’re also laughing a lot,” says Konopelski, describing his teaching style.
All classes will be held from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at Chesapeake Culinary Center at 512 Franklin Street in Denton. Registration is available online at www.TurnbridgePoint.com.
