My 6-y/o son and I had a fantastic time in this class

My 6-y/o son and I had a fantastic time in this class, led by Chef JJ. It was appropriate for a broad range of skills, and Chef JJ made it relaxed and fun, while throwing in the basic chemistry and physics principles to buttress techniques, and optimise outcomes. Would do this again without a moment’s hesitation!

Pretty pretty nice

Fantastic experience!!!

I had the absolute best time at the Doughnut Making Class at Le Dolci Culinary Classroom in Toronto!

The class is about 2 hours long and perfect for all skill levels — even total beginners like me! We were guided by Chef Megan, who was so knowledgeable and friendly. She explained the science behind baking doughnuts in a really fun and easy-to-understand way. You can tell the chefs at Le Dolci really care about both the craft and the students.

We were provided with aprons (so you can feel like a real baker right away!), and although the dough was prepared in advance, we got to do all the hands-on steps — kneading, cutting, shaping, prepping the fillings, and learning how to pipe them. Then came the frying (yes, we actually fried our own doughnuts!) followed by the super fun decorating stage, where we got to be as creative as we wanted.

What I loved most is that you get to take home all the doughnuts you make — a really sweet bonus (literally 🍩). The class size is small and intimate, which made the whole experience feel very personalized. The instructors are incredibly approachable and were happy to answer every question I had — even though I came in with zero baking experience.

If you’re looking for something unique, fun, and delicious to do in Toronto — I can’t recommend this class enough. Whether it’s for a date, a group outing, or a solo adventure, Le Dolci delivers such a well-run, welcoming, and tasty experience!

Could be more engaging.

I recently took part in the donut class and overall, it was a fun experience, but I did leave feeling a bit underwhelmed. The instructor walked us through the brioche dough, frying, and baking steps, which were fairly straightforward. However, she seemed flustered and a bit rushed during the class, and it felt like her focus was more on prepping and cleaning than engaging with the group.

One area I wish had been covered more thoroughly was the icings and toppings—the icings were placed for us but we had to ask what was available. It would’ve been great to learn how to make them ourselves as part of the class. Unfortunately, our donuts (and another couple’s) were left in the oven too long during the rising stage, so they turned out quite crispy and not what we expected.

Overall the class went by quicker than expected (most people left within 90 mins). I think with a bit more attention to interaction the class could be a lot more enriching.

educational and fun! Great activity and perfect for beginners!
