Errol Craig Sull, well-known baker and long-time JCC member, will be offering baking demonstrations. This is an event you do not want to miss! Each event begins with Errol’s Fun Food Facts, then goes into the interesting science behind baking (e.g., just why IS it called double-acting baking powder?), and the piece de resistance: each person in attendance gets to sample the desserts! Errol is well-known for his monthly baking demonstrations at Whole Foods, his over-the-top cakes (you’ll never find them in a bakery), and gregarious personality.
