Gingerbread House Decorating with Lisa Dupar

She’s our very own Martha Stewart, people. Come learn from her pastry team.

Don’t you want to take a class with this woman?

This Saturday, December 5, the Redmond catering kitchens of culinary luminary Lisa Dupar—right next to her terrific Pomegranate Bistro —will be abuzz with all-ages teams of gingerbread house decorators.

You could be one of them.

Using gingerbread house frames pre-constructed by Dupar’s chefs, teams (Dupar’s encouraging child-adult pairings) will learn the finer architectural properties of icing and candies. Decorators will break for sustenance of grilled cheese and tomato soup, then take their masterpieces home.

Class will be held from 1pm to 3pm and costs $65 for a team of two.

(And while you’re there, pick up Dupar’s new cookbook, Fried Chicken & Champagne, a celebration of her down-home Southern aesthetic with recipes aplenty.)
