Holiday Pies with Partybus Bakeshop

In this class you’ll learn the secrets to a perfect pie crust. Jacqueline will demonstrate how to hand-mix your dough and a foolproof way to roll and crimp your shells. Jacqueline will provide recipes ahead of time for anyone wishing to follow along with the demo, and during class she will discuss the importance ingredient selection. Once our shells are shaped, we will also walk through a few classic pie fillings step-by-step. Once class is through, you’ll have all the skills you need to make that Thanksgiving centerpiece you’ve been dreaming about… no store bought shell needed!

Jacqueline was not always a baker. In fact, it wasn’t until she was freelancing as a classical percussionist around New York City that she discovered a curiosity for baking. When the passion for hosting bake sale fundraisers overtook her drive to “practice practice practice” she knew it was time to take the leap and pursue a career in food.

Jacqueline aims to spread love and knowledge about the benefits of using heritage grains and stone milled flours (She’ll talk your ear off if you give her the chance). Her mission is to push the boundaries of what you expect from your neighborhood bakery while maintaining an unrelenting standard for the classics you know and love.

Prior to starting Partybus Bakeshop, Jacqueline was head baker for Altamarea Group. She honed her craft at New York hot spots including Petee’s Pie Co., Arcade Bakery, and the International Culinary Center.
