RAVES FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
.."My name is Allie and I'm 9 years old. I loved this class! I can mostly do it by myself and it was really fun. My favorite treat I learned to make was marshmallows because it was really fun and they came out great in the end! Thank you Chef Pascal for all your help." -Alessandra M.
"I've been doing this virtual class for about 3 weeks. It's really fun! My favorite thing we made was the granola bars. I could make them by myself and they turned out really good. I like these classes and chef Pascal." - Gabby (11 years)
"Chef Pascal is an amazing teacher, she's patient and encourages them to clean up after themselves. I was surprised with the confidence my kids gained in her cooking classes. I had two girls ages 9 and 11 taking the class and they were able to manage on their own for almost every class. It was neat to see them beam with pride when they showed me their new creations. We loved these classes and definitely recommend them if you are considering them. These are the kinds of life skills your kids will use forever!" - happy parent
"The lessons through Bake Austin have been so great for my son (12). He has always loved to cook, and we do bake together at home, but the lessons with Chef Pascal have been totally worth it! He has learned new techniques and found new favorite recipes. The way the lessons are structured have helped him learn to slow down and pay attention to the recipe. He has also gained a lot of confidence in himself, which has been fantastic. My son was struggling with the new stay-at-home normal, and these lessons were the perfect thing for him! Chef Pascal is knowledgeable, personable, and very patient with all of the children. I look forward to more online lessons with Bake Austin in the future!" -happy parent
"Chef Pascal you are amazing!!! G. has gained so much confidence from you! I am so proud of her and all she has learned from you!! Thank you so much for your knowledge, patience and love to all these kids! So much love to you from this Canadian family!!" - Kathryn D.
"My daughter has begged me to take culinary classes and I have not been able to find anything suited for her until now. She has thoroughly enjoyed the classes she has participated in so far and is looking forward to Summer Camp. Thank you for your time, thoughtfulness, and patience, as you guide her and the other children. I am amazed how you are able to guide the class virtually and give the kids individual attention as needed. Thank you so much again. Your classes are truly a gem." -MG
D. (10years old) says: "I LOVE your classes."
"I say: Thank you so much for these amazing Zoom baking classes. D. looks forward to them most days over the last couple months- he even plans his screen time around them! That’s a big deal ;) And I love your classes for giving D. something to do to defeat boredom, and for boosting his confidence and independence in the kitchen, and of course for the amazing food we’ve been eating! I am usually working during the classes but sometimes I overhear parts of them and I am awed at your patience and ability to help the kids deal with any challenges they might have. Your voice is so soothing and calm and you really seem to connect with each and every child. We’re looking forward to summer teen camp and hopefully some drop-in classes! Thank you," -Amanda

"Delicious and authentic Swedish Princess Tårta! Very difficult to get marzipan in Austin and we so appreciated finding Pascal at Bake Austin. Also, a very beautiful cake." - Elisa H.
"Pascal's pretty much the bomb. She's a great teacher and makes the tastiest treats! In fact, she's the only person in awesome to make the Swedish Princess Cakes. That's for real. She also does this neat thing where you can bake your own wedding cake with her! DO IT" -Monike G.
"I Just got Married Feb 14,2016 and Pascal gathered up my closest friends and we had a bridal shower in the form of baking party. It was such a gift to have all my friends put so much love into my wedding cakes and I have never baked before in my life and I made my own wedding cake with Pascal's help. It turned out AMAZING and so beautiful!!!
It made everything so special and Pascal was so great with teaching and patiently showing us the steps to make sure my Wedding cake was absolutely PERFECT!!! It is something I will never forget!! I AM SO GRATEFUL TO PASCAL!!! 3 layer red velvet cake would have cost so much money and we did it in the most affordable way ever and it was a blast!!! LOVE YOU PASCAL!!!" -Anna R.
"Pascal crafted a stunning Swedish Birthday Cake for my birthday and the flavors were absolutely superb! Not only did the cake look and taste spectacular, but the customer service was spot on! Pascal was so warm and welcoming when we picked up the order, and the entire experience was a 10/10!"
Will order from Bake Austin again! -J.W.
"If you like German baked goods (and who doesn't, really??) you MUST give Pascal Simon, owner of @Bake Austin a call!!! She's amazing! I ordered some custom cookies (can't show you yet, because Santa is still doing his magic, but trust me, they are beautiful) and she delivered the most delicious German cookies and has me swooning. Memories from my childhood are flooding in eating them. They are not too sweet and very flavorful. So perfect. As if all of this wasn't enough, this lady blew me away with her customer service. Amazing! She'll be at the Cherrywood Art Fair selling assortments of those delicious things. Now, please, do yourself a favor and get yourself some German cookies or other delicious treats from Pascal and @Bake Austin!" - E. Schone with Trophyology
"Pascal’s Cake Camp was a great experience for my son. He spent the week creating an amazing World Cup themed cake using all of her bake-tastic tips and tricks. Along the way he learned a ton about what it takes to plan, build and finish a large project—in the most painlessly sweet way possible! It was truly wonderful to see all the proud kids with their creations at the end of the week. Cake Camp rocks!" -C.Terrell
"My 13 year old son took Pascal's cupcake camp this summer. He loved every minute of it and I was impressed with her communication to parent's about what their children were working on and how they were doing. Paul has quite a bit of cooking experience and Pascal allowed him to take more of a leadership role and challenged him to go above and beyond. I'm sure he'll do it again next year!" --JMP
"Bake Austin is a fantastic opportunity for kids with basic kitchen skills to learn how to create something beautiful, unusual, and artistic, not to mention delicious. The extremely patient Pascal works with each of the kids to help them develop and execute their own visions of sweet treats, but also gives them practical skills to try at home. My daughter has loved every camp with Pascal, and this comes from a girl who typically doesn't care for camps of any kind! And Pascal's from-scratch baked goods are impeccable, authentic, and mouth-watering. A real treat in this over-processed world we live in!" - T. Judd
"Pascal (BakeAustin) made our wedding cake in 2013. We gave her only a vague idea of a Gaudi-themed Park Guell mosaic-tile bench and what she created was truly amazing! (See her home picture and compare to pictures of the original). Not only was it a beautiful and crafted with the utmost originality and care but it tasted great too! Everyone who attended our wedding still remembers it." -Z. Simpson
"Pascal put an exquisite level of attention to detail into our wedding cake. She arranged a special tasting for us during the design phase and we had a great time sampling and selecting our cake and filling flavors. Several people commented that our wedding cake was the most creative and fantastic wedding cake they had ever seen! We couldn't have been happier with it.
The following year, during my pregnancy, I drove all the way across town to a coffee shop to get a specific double chocolate cookie that I had come to really love. I found out later that the cookie is a recipe made by Bake Austin!" - Diane W.
"The best thing about the cake camp is that it's hands-on. Pascal demonstrates each technique but also gives you the freedom to try it yourself. You get to do each step of the process and, in the end, you have a product that is all your own." -- Anika B. (student)
