Winter Camp: Holiday Bake Shop
Program Dates
December 21–24
Monday–Thursday
Morning 9 AM–12 PM (ages 9–12) or Afternoon 3–6 PM (teens 13–17)
Give your child the chance to run their own holiday bake shop in this hands-on winter camp.
Holiday Bake Shop is a four-day baking camp full of cookies, quick breads, pastries, and festive treats. Younger cooks join the morning wave, while teens take the same themes deeper in the afternoon.
Throughout the week, students bake from start to finish — learning how doughs and batters actually work, how to measure and mix with care, and how to finish and decorate treats that look as good as they taste.
Classes are fully hands-on — students build baking fundamentals, precision, decorating technique, and teamwork in the kitchen. The teen afternoon wave goes further into technique and creative finishing for bakers ready for more.
This program emphasizes patience, precision, and the joy of sharing something homemade. Students leave with edible gifts and the confidence to bake for the people they love.

What guests are saying
“I had an amazing experience at Life Plus Pasta Making! The instructor was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He shared how he developed these classes, and it was clear that his own curiosity and love of learning inspired the entire experience. He was incredibly patient with everyone, while still guiding us in a way that made sure we actually learned the techniques instead of just following directions. By the end of the class, we had made a meal that was absolutely delicious. It was hard to believe that something so good came from our own hands! I will 100% be taking another class. They offer such a wide variety of classes for different interests that I have a feeling I'll be coming back for quite a while. If you're thinking about trying one, don't hesitate—you'll leave with new skills, great food, and a memorable experience.”

Cap Onevia Google“My colleagues and I had an incredible time at Life Plus LA! Marc led our team of 8 through the baking course. We spent 1.5 hours learning, socializing, laughing and enjoying our way through creating biscuits, fruit tarts and bundt cakes. Marc was so incredibly knowledgable, witty, and a pleasure to be around. After the baking was complete, Marc set us up in the cafe to enjoy our creations. We spent another 1.5 hours there. Finally, we packaged our leftovers and went on our way! I can't wait to try some of the other classes!”
Susana Melkonyanvia Google“My husband and I booked a Thai cooking class with Marc for date night and it was such a treat. The 5 star reviews are well deserved. We loved how thorough and knowledgeable Marc was about cooking and the food science. He makes sure to teach you not just how but also why, you’re doin something. Not to mention the food tasted amazing and we were so pleased with how everything turned out. Do not hesitate to book! 10/10 recommend :)”
Gabrielle Pretlowvia Google“Such a good time! Our class was the Vietnamese course and it was very well crafted and structured. We enjoyed learning how to handle spring rolls, flavor and plate pho, and make a delicious hearty crepe. My goal was to learn some techniques and I walked out with some new ones!”
