Give the gift of baking anytime, anywhere.
Still searching for the perfect last-minute gift that doesn’t require any shipping across the country and never goes out of stock? Consider our lineup of On-Demand baking classes — there’s something for every type of baker out there. (And it isn’t just another apron!)
Our virtual On-Demand classes can be taken at any time, and can be re-watched over and over again, letting bakers learn at their own pace. Once you've purchased a class, you can gift it by simply sending the link and access code to the baker in your life. Whether you’re gifting to hardcore bread bakers or curious cookie decorators, we’ve got you covered with a variety of baking topics. Pick a favorite or gift several to make a curated baking bundle!
Cookies
In Cookie Decorating Essentials, longtime Baking School instructor Melanie Wanders shares everything you need to know about baking the perfect sugar cookies, preparing flawless Royal Icing, and decorating like a pro with techniques including quilting, flocking, and flooding. This class is perfect for cookie decorating novices and experienced bakers looking to amp up their icing skills — or impress their friends with picture-perfect cookies.
Pizza
Give the aspiring pizzaiolo in your life a helping hand. (Plus, this gift is basically an open invitation to their next pizza night.) Pizza expert Martin Philip teaches four different styles in this comprehensive class: fast weeknight pizza; classic blistered Neapolitan-style pizza; thick and puffy Detroit pies; and thin-and-crispy bar-style pizza. Learn the secrets to hack your home oven for pizzeria-quality bakes and helpful tips for Ooni ovens, too.
Bread
Maybe your gift recipient already has our newest cookbook, the Big Book of Bread. But do they have the Big Book of Bread Companion class? Cookbook authors Jessica Battilana, Martin Philip, and Melanie Wanders teach a handful of their favorite bread recipes, from buttery brioche to crunchy seeded bread. In addition to step-by-step recipe instructions, expect deep dives on important bread topics such as shaping, when to use a baking stone, and the difference between fermentation and proofing.
Pie
This class covers all things pie, from crusts to fillings to lattices. Baking School instructor Kristen Suzuki introduces two types of pie dough (flaky and extra-flaky) along with fruit fillings that span the seasons: Berry Crumble Pie, Lattice Apple Pie, Double-Crust Peach Pie, Fresh Strawberry Pie, and a savory Tomato Galette. Expect helpful advice for rolling out pie dough, crimping techniques, and how to judge doneness.

Bagels and Bialys
Once you’ve mastered homemade bagels, there’s no going back to store-bought. Baking School instructor Jonathan Frishtick walks through three types: same-day bagels, bagels with an overnight rest, and bagels with a preferment (plus classic bialys as a bonus). There are also flavor variations for Marble-Rye Bagels, Asiago Cheese Bagels, and Cinnamon-Raisin Bagels. If there's someone in your life whose Saturday always includes a stop at the bagel shop, this class was meant for them.
Brunch
For the host who has everything, consider this Brunch Bakes class. Recipe Editor Kye Ameden and Baking School instructor Jonathan Frishtick teach two master doughs, a tender sweet dough and milk bread-like dough. Once mastered, these doughs become the foundation to impressive bakes like a gorgeous raspberry jam-filled braid, a swirled chocolate-cinnamon babka, and pillowy cinnamon rolls.
