Imagine waking up on Thanksgiving morning, taking a pan of homemade Schnecken from the refrigerator, letting it proof, and popping it into the oven. Before long, your home is filled with the irresistible aroma of warm, freshly baked cinnamon rolls—and you haven’t even started cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
That’s the idea behind this special hands-on Thanksgiving Prep Class: do the work ahead of time, so you can actually enjoy Thanksgiving Day.
In this three hour experience, you’ll prepare an incredible homemade Thanksgiving feast for 6–8 people. You’ll leave the Florida Academy of Baking with everything prepped, assembled, and ready to refrigerate, proof, bake, reheat, or finish at home.
👩🍳 One Cook + One Baker = Thanksgiving Done!
This class is designed for two students working together as a team—one Cook and one Baker. You’ll divide and conquer the Thanksgiving preparations, working side-by-side to create everything you need for your holiday table.
While the Cook tackles the savory dishes, the Baker will prepare the breads, breakfast treats, and dessert. We will have the doughs ready to go when you arrive. Together, you’ll create an entire Thanksgiving meal from scratch without spending Thanksgiving Day buried under dirty pots and pans.
Your Thanksgiving Feast
Your team will prepare:
Homemade Schnecken – rich, irresistible cinnamon rolls prepared and ready for their overnight rest, so you can bake them fresh Thanksgiving morning.
Freshly Baked Dinner Rolls – homemade rolls ready to proof and bake for your holiday table.
Stuffed & Rolled Turkey – a beautiful alternative to wrestling with an entire turkey, prepared and ready for the oven.
Creamy Mashed Potatoes – classic, comforting, and ready to heat and serve.
Green Bean Casserole – a Thanksgiving favorite assembled and ready to bake.
Yams with Marshmallows – sweet, nostalgic, and holiday-table ready.
Fresh Cranberry Sauce – made from scratch for that perfect sweet-tart addition to your turkey.
Rich Homemade Turkey Gravy – because Thanksgiving simply isn’t Thanksgiving without plenty of gravy!
Homemade Apple Pie – prepared from scratch and ready to bake until golden, bubbling, and delicious.
Chantilly Cream – the perfect accompaniment to your warm apple pie—with the option of making it a little boozy for the adults!
Then Comes Thanksgiving Day...
Instead of waking up wondering “Where do I start?”, most of the hard work is already behind you.
Start the morning with your freshly baked Schnecken and a pot of coffee. Later, follow your cooking schedule, place your prepared dishes into the oven, finish your turkey and sides, bake your rolls, and bring everything to the table.
No mountain of prep. No peeling and chopping all morning. No kitchen chaos.
Just the wonderful smells of Thanksgiving coming from your oven and more time to spend with the people you invited over in the first place.
By the end of class, you’ll leave with a complete homemade Thanksgiving meal for 6–8 people, along with the knowledge and organization to bring it all together beautifully at home.
Two people. One day of prep. An entire Thanksgiving dinner ready to go.
Come cook, bake, prep, and pack with us—and make this the year you finally get to enjoy Thanksgiving too! 🦃🥧🍎
This class is suitable for the following Dynamic Duo types:
YES: Parent/Grandparent & Child
YES: Couples/Roommates (live in the same household)
YES: Friends (you will share all equipment/ingredients for 1 recipe/batch…we let you rock, paper, scissors if the recipe doesn’t divide equally.)
*What is a Dynamic Duo? It’s basically two buddies sharing the same workstation at no extra charge. You share all equipment and ingredients for a singlebatch of whatever we’re making that day. (Don’t worry, we won’t stick you with some random stranger- if you want to fly solo, you’ll have the station (and all the yummy food) all to yourself!)
We provide aprons, recipes, all ingredients, supplies, and tools required for use during each class. Best of all you get to take home whatever tasty treats you make - we provide all boxes/packaging.
Please wear comfortable shoes (stools will be provided) and have long hair tied back. For the comfort of all our students and staff, we ask that you refrain from wearing strong perfume or cologne. You may wish to bring a cardigan or sweater as the kitchen is kept at 68F.
