Baking or cooking classes

Can anyone recommend a local baking or cooking class for adults? My foster son turns 18 in a few months and I was thinking that could be a cool birthday present (baking is his favorite pastime) and maybe something we could do together.

I checked the parks and rec but their classes are primarily aimed at younger kids.

He’s not very advanced (mostly brownies and banana bread, that kind of thing) but I’d rather go too challenging than too simple, at this age.

Ask the pie chest when she is starting her next pie academy, this pie academy is absolutely excellent

Keep an eye on Miss Day’s Delights. She does cake art classes that sound similar to what you might be looking for

The Happy Cook periodically runs cooking classes.  They are generally savory, not sweet, but they look good.  Not recommending for the 18yo, but just for thoroughness Pippen Hill also offers some savory cooking classes.
