“This was a fun and quick class where you get to make a total of three chimney cakes. It's a pretty simple process even if you don't have a ton of experience baking. Just to note, I have a nut allergy and I emailed ahead of time to ask if this would be safe for me. They told me as long as I inform the chef when we got there, it would be totally fine. But we were told by the chef that the people who respond to inquiries here don't really know what goes on inside the shop and that it's really not safe for people who have food…”
