King Arthur Baking School review

King Arthur Baking School is the only entry here run by a baking company, and its catalog shows it. The on-demand shop lists 23 classes, from Sourdough for Beginners and Intermediate Sourdough Baking to Extra Flaky Croissants, Classic Macarons at Home, Gluten-Free Bread Baking and a Kids Baking Class. Most cost $40, Cookie Decorating Essentials costs $30, and several were on sale at $32 when we checked. Each class comes with a downloadable recipe workbook, and you can watch it as often as you want; King Arthur guarantees access for at least one year from purchase. The school also runs Live Online classes on Zoom, where you can ask the instructor questions, and in-person classes in Norwich, Vermont and Skagit Valley, Washington, for more than 120 classes in all. The limits are commercial: on-demand sales are final, one purchase covers one student, and the live Zoom schedule was set to resume in November 2026. Bakers who want many topics for one fee will get more classes from Craftsy.
