What a fun and engaging class

This class was so fun! We were a mixed class of beginners(me) and knowledgeable bakers. Igor was a great teacher and made the class appropriate for all levels. His wife Olga was a wonderful host and we enjoyed interacting with both of them. This class is great for all levels. Everyone learned so much. I plan on practicing and coming back to take it again! Thank you!
