The FIFA World Cup 2026 has brought the world to Toronto's doorstep. Friends, family, and football fans are flying in from every corner of the globe — and as a Torontonian, you have the rare privilege of playing host to all of them at once. The question is: what do you actually do with them?
Beyond the fan zones and the match screenings, the best experiences in Toronto are the ones that feel genuinely local. And few things are more local — or more memorable — than spending a few hours cooking and baking together.
Why a Culinary Class Works for Every Kind of Guest
Not everyone travelling to Toronto for the World Cup is a die-hard football fan. You'll have aunts, cousins, old friends, and partners who are here for the trip rather than the tournament. A cooking class at Le Dolci gives every kind of guest something they'll genuinely enjoy — interactive, social, and with delicious results to show for it.
It's also a refreshing alternative to the usual tourist checklist. Anyone can visit a landmark. Not everyone gets to make Parisian macarons or pipe buttercream flowers in a proper baking studio.
The Best Le Dolci Classes for World Cup Visitors
Beaver Tails & Butter Tarts (June 6)
This one is made for visitors. Canada is co-hosting the World Cup and there is no better way to celebrate that than by learning to make the country's most beloved street food and pastry. Genuinely fun, genuinely Canadian, and a story guests will tell when they get home.
Cupcake Decorating — World Cup Edition (June 20)
Decorate cupcakes with your guests' country's flag. Settle the debate over whose team has the best colours. It's a two-hour class that works for groups of all ages and requires zero baking experience.
Father's Day Cocktail Mixology Class (June 20)
If you've got family in town for Father's Day weekend, this evening class is the perfect plan. Learn the techniques behind craft cocktails in a fun, relaxed setting — then impress everyone at the next gathering.
Italian Aperitivo & Focaccia (June 12)
Perfect for guests from Italy — or guests cheering for Italy. Bake focaccia, build an aperitivo spread, and spend an evening the way it's meant to be spent.
Plan Ahead — June Is Busy
With the World Cup in full swing, Toronto is busier than it has been in years. Le Dolci classes are small by design, which means they fill up fast. Book at www.ledolci.com as soon as you know your guests' dates, and lock in an experience worth planning around.
