Easy - Peasy Scones & Biscotti Class
My friend and I attended a scones and biscotti cooking class, with Sharon. and I must say, it was an absolute delight. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for an evening of baking.
Sharon was incredibly enthusiastic. She walked us through the basics of dough preparation, sharing tips and tricks along the way. The hands-on approach was fantastic.
The scones and biscotti turned out beautifully. I made Lemon-Blueberry scones while my friend prepared Almond-Cranberry scones. For the biscotti, I went with pistachio, and Donna made almond with dark chocolate drizzle on the top. We happily shared our creations, so we left with a delightful assortment of flavors. Sharon encouraged creativity, making it enjoyable to mix and match ingredients. The class was incredibly well-organized, allowing time for questions, personal guidance, and lots of fun.
At the end of the class, we got to enjoy our creations with a drink, and the satisfaction of tasting our creations and chatting with Sharon was the cherry on top. We left with not only delicious treats but also new skills and recipes to try at home.
Thank you Nadine - I so enjoyed our time together. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or just to chat. I will brew a cup of Tea and then we can talk about another flavor combinations. Holidays are coming and I can't wait til I can make the Peppermint Biscotti!

Easy - Peasy Scones & Biscotti Class
I’ve lost count of how many cooking and baking classes I’ve taken with Sharon. It all started with my search for a cupcake decorating class because, let’s be honest, that’s never been my strong suit. A quick Google search led me to Hobby Hill and, instead of cupcakes, I thought, macarons? Why not?
Before Sharon’s class, I had only one successful macaron attempt (probably beginner’s luck). Every other try ended in cracked, misshapen, edible abominations. But in that first class, she taught us the techniques to make them perfect. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Then came the bread classes…Greek food…Indian cuisine…Croissants… and now, after 25+ classes, I think I basically live here. Sharon’s knowledge, patience, and passion for teaching make every class an incredible experience. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home cook, you’ll walk away with skills you can actually use—and the confidence to tackle recipes that once seemed impossible. If you’re even thinking about taking a class at Hobby Hill, do it. You won’t regret it! You'll probably see me there.....haha
I’ve already signed up for another class! Took the sourdough course and learned a lot. I’ve been baking beautiful boules ever since. Sharon, our instructor has two qualities in a teacher that are so beneficial to adult students; she knows her stuff and she’s real patient. All skill levels felt welcome. The place is very well appointed- they thought of everything and the pre and post class communication is on point. It’s a bit of drive for me but I look forward to attending more classes at hobby hill.
Thank you for the review! Yes, I wish we were everywhere but that just isn' t feasible. Your breads look fabulous and I bet they are every bit as delicious! Looking forward to seeing you at your next class! ~Sharon
Sharon was great! I’m new to sourdough baking and there is a learning curve, but she made the class fun and enjoyable.
Thank you Amy - so glad you enjoyed the class. We are happy to help you in any way! ~sharon
This was a gift for my mom, it was a great bonding time. We had so much fun learning about techniques and different ways to make the buns. Sharon was a fantastic teacher and so much fun to be around. We are already planning to take another class. It is so much fun and so worth the money!
Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for your amazing review! We love hearing that you and your mom had such a fun and special time together in our Cinnamon Bun class. There’s nothing better than bonding over delicious treats! ️ I am so happy to hear your kind words, and we can’t wait to welcome you both back for another class soon.
Happy baking!
