Homemade Holiday Sweet Treats (Online)


Courses: Adult / Culinary -
Fall 2024

Homemade sweets and treats are always wonderful around the holidays and throughout the year as well. Add three delicious treats to your holiday celebrations as you learn to create freshly-baked copycat Cinnabon® Cinnamon Rolls, luscious Basque Burnt Cheesecake, and velvety Hot Cocoa Bombs! Make them for your family, gift them to those you hold dear, or start a new holiday tradition by learning to make them with your children or significant other. Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and prep, as well as a PDF packet of the instructor’s personal recipes. 

Baking supplies needed:

  • 2 ¼" - 3" silicone mold for hot cocoa bombs (found at most craft stores or online)
  • 8" - 9" spring form pan for cheesecake

Note: One registration fee for this online class can include participants from the same household only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required.

Tess Georgakopoulos

Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking for well over 40 years, since she was roughly 6 years old. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using one's senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was also a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form on the weekends as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with one's own hands and creativity was, and continues to be an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. Sweet, savory, or doughy, she enjoys experimenting and creating in the kitchen daily.

Pressure-cooking with a stovetop cooker has been a part of her culinary repertoire for over 25 years. Tess is creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones using the Instant Pot, which is taking her pressure-cooking to another level! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through Community Education for a number of years having worked with numerous public school districts in and around the Twin Cities. Tess has recently started writing her first cookbook, and her food blog is also in the works! Some of her creations can been seen on her Facebook page @dishitupgood, https://www.facebook.com/disitupgood/ or on her instagram Feed: Dis it up Good.
