Join fellow alumni and friends for a Sunday morning treat to help any brunch spread! Chef Halee Raff is the current chef/owner of Hardbittenn in Chicago, IL, specializing in desserts, weekly dinners and catering. Chef Halee will lead our group through a fun and educational class, sharing her own personal secrets to the perfect cinnamon roll! You'll learn how to make a yummy cinnamon roll from dough creation to oven, including making icing from scratch while the dough proofs. After this, you'll never have to settle for store-bought rolls again!
