Holiday pies are too important to be left to chance!

Friend, this course is definitely for you if any of these apply to you:

  • You're baking pies for the first time this year;

  • You want my secret to perfectly flaky pie crust that shatters and makes a delicious mess; 😊

  • You've baked pies before and you want to get rid of that dreaded "pie hump" ONCE AND FOR ALL;

  • You're never sure when to blind bake your pie crust (or you don't know what blind baking even is!);

  • You don't understand why your pie crusts are always soggy and sad on the bottom;

  • You're ready to bring pies to family functions this year that disappear before your eyes!

Welcome to Pie Perfection!

Pie is quintessentially perfect for the fall holidays!  Whether it's sweet potato pie or apple pie, we all have a favorite.

And none of our favorite pies involve soggy, underbaked crusts.  

If you're beyond ready to learn all of my tools and techniques for pie crust, I invite you to join me in Pie perfection!  This class was filmed live on November 19th, but you can grab the replay now!  

By the end of Pie Perfection class, you'll know:

  • The tools that I use every time that I make pie crust;
  • Why temperature matters (and how I stay cool!);
  • My technique for my favorite classic pie dough (it's so easy and yields a perfect result every time!);
  • TWO beautiful and simple ways to decorate a pie crust; AND
  • The recipe for my all-time favorite, my Classic Apple Pie!

You don't have to struggle with pie crust, and you don't have to buy pie crust in a can anymore!

Meet one of our alums, Emily!

She's an incredible baker in her own right...and she has this to say about Begin with Butter!

“Shani is such an energetic, passionate, and amazing teacher. The way she explains things just makes sense to me. She not only explains what to do, but why you should do it that way. The fact that she is self-taught and how she got started baking resonates with me. I've tremendously improved my baking, allowing me to produce baked goods for my family that are not only delicious to eat, but beautiful as well!”

I’ve had a natural talent for baking for years. But I wanted to solidify my practice and hone my skills to potentially sell my cakes. The tips and tricks were amazing. I learned so much and I look forward to no longer having any mishaps because of the information that was provided. Now, if I could just learn packaging tips (do you use a cake board to package a Bundt cake?) and how to price my cakes? Then ilI’ll be well on my way. Thanks again Shani! Looking forward to see who was selected to attend a free class before the end of the year.

This Masterclass was absolutely amazing! It's perfect for all levels, but I'm going to share my experience as a new baker. For years I wanted to learn how to bake from scratch. It was such an intimidating process, until I met Shani of Begin with Butter. Her expertise, passion, and gift for teaching and baking make learning so much fun and inviting. This course was perfect to learn fun techniques for cake decorating. From accessories, utensils, achieving certain looks, etc. I can't wait to decorate my first cake and use the tools that she taught in this course to bring my vision to life. I recommend everyone to take her course whether it is to brush up on skills or learn new ones. I look forward to learning more baking techniques from BwB! Thank you again! (Artney, Birmingham, AL)
