The Magpie Cakery Baking Studio — Restaurant in Toronto

I have participated in several of Maggie's classes (pie/galette; Christmas cookies; Gingerbread house) and have learned so much! I have made pies before, but have always shied away from making a butter crust. Maggie was patient and helpful in the pie making class, plus the recipe was very easy to follow. I have since made the crust several times with success (even the lattice top part…).

My son and I participated in the Gingerbread house class together and it was so fun. Maggie was very patient with all of our skill levels and most importantly, the house both tasted and looked amazing.

Finally, I think my favourite was the cookie class. We learned basic baking skills and came away with recipes to both enjoy immediately as well as those to freeze. I made the cookies several times over the holidays and have shared them with several friends (by request!)

Maggie's passion for good ingredients, love of baking, and calm approach to sharing her skills with others have made for fantastic online cooking experiences, plus it has been fun learning with new people via Zoom. I have recommended her classes to lots of people - both young and "old" alike .I can't wait until the next class (registered for Pate A Choux in a few weeks!.

Back for my second review to share how much we enjoy Maggie and the Magpie Cakery! Along with march break and summer art camps, my daughter has joined Maggie for a few one-day workshops, including sugar cookie decorating and Willy Wonka cake-baking My 10 year is always eager to sign up for Maggie's programs and feels at home in her magical, small baking studio. Maggie pays so much individual attention to each and every student, and sends them home brimming with confidence (and new recipes!) My daughter often recalls little lessons she learns from Maggie in our own baking time at home. We can't recommend her cozy and supportive instruction enough!

We couldn’t say enough good things about Maggie and the Magpie Cakery! My 9 year old daughter attended her March Break baking camp and enjoyed every minute; baking up a storm - from cinnamon buns and biscotti to macarons & strawberry turnovers and a cake with fondant decorations! - learning all kinds of fun techniques and growing in confidence everyday. Maggie is a enthusiastic, kind and wonderful teacher. Highly recommend!...

Maggie at the Magpie Cakery hosts the BEST events! I've attended a virtual baking class, and my daughter (9) has attended a virtual cake-baking event. Both events were incredible! Maggie is patient, knowledgable, and hilarious and makes the time fly by for both adults and kids alike. She has mastered the online platform, making zoom FUN and offering individual attention to each baker. I can't wait to attend my next class in-person. I was so proud of what I created at the end of my class; my tart was beautiful and delicious, and I learned so many new skills. It was the perfect centrepiece to our Thanksgiving table (not something I can claim of most of my baking attempts!). My daughter was equally thrilled with her mermaid cake. If you're looking to learn, laugh, and bake something...
