Craftsy is a video subscription for makers, and its food classes lean toward baking and cake decorating. The App Store listing describes instruction in quilting, sewing, knitting, crochet, baking, cooking and cake decorating, with step-by-step video lessons and downloadable patterns and recipes, and it covers everything from a just-getting-started class to an advanced challenge. That suits a home baker who wants to learn piping, layer cakes or bread shaping at their own pace. On the US App Store the cheapest Premium Monthly Subscription is $7.99, the lowest monthly price on this list, and Premium Yearly plans start at $97.00; several Premium prices appear, so the offer shown in the app can differ. The app runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision. The trade-offs are focus and feedback. Savory cooking is a smaller part of the catalog than at Rouxbe or ATK, much of the library is crafts, and there is no live teacher to check your work.
