STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
ABOUT AMIE ACADEMIE
There is an unfounded mystique about baking. Since the AMIE brand was conceived a decade ago, our mission at AMIE Académie has been to demystify scratch baking and help instill confidence in anyone who wants to bake. Inspired by attending a variety of recreational and professional classes around the world, Amie gleaned best practices and honed in on what makes the experience worthwhile. Our talented instructors guide students with a combination of hands-on experience and demonstrations that inevitably evoke “Aha!” moments. We strive to create a place for friends and neighbors to gather, celebrate special occasions, refine skills and techniques, and enjoy delicious food in good company.
The Académie brings together locals and travelers alike to learn and share in the kitchen. Many students meet, become friends, and return to the Académie together. One of our favorite memories was having guests arrive in the kitchen for class and two attendees recognized each other from playing high school football together decades ago. Many students have discovered talent, passion, and the joys of baking—we even discovered one of our gifted cake decorators while she was doing piping work in a class. In food, there is endless room for growth and discovery. The Académie is also a conduit for sharing how we do things at AMIE Bakery. Teaching connects with customers and provides a way to engage the Cape Cod community and beyond.
AMIE Académie has also hosted prestigious chefs from across the country, including Executive Chef Laura Briscoe, Executive Pastry Chef Gale Gand, and local Executive Chef James Dings to name a few. As of 2024, over 2,000 guests have attended recreational cooking and baking classes and themed special events from bourbon and wine tastings to high tea.
Académie classes are recreational, drawing curious newbies and industry professionals to participate. Students collaborate in small groups to create an intimate experience that fosters getting to know those alongside you. While many large parties participate, plenty of students fly solo. The class setting is also an opportunity to address pitfalls and teach troubleshooting, so obstacles are easily overcome at home. We strive to encourage and show our students that baking is a balance between science and art.
Whether you're an avid baker or a beginner, we invite you to join us for classes at AMIE Académie. For policy information, visit our FAQ page.

“My mission is to educate our customers about what authentic pastry looks and tastes like. If you haven’t tasted scratch-made pastry cream you probably think the vanilla pudding you’re buying is delicious. Once you taste the real thing, you can’t go back. And it’s easy to make. One key to loving pastry is realizing it’s not complicated to make. ”
