Every family has its Thanksgiving traditions, and the desserts are usually the most sacred of all. But even the most beloved classics can use a fresh twist now and then. Join Chef Michelle Pellegri for a festive baking class that gives your favorite Thanksgiving pies and treats a delicious update, keeping all the nostalgia while adding new flavors that will have your family asking for the recipes.

This class is all about mastering the baking techniques behind a stunning holiday dessert table. Chef Michelle guides you through making an all-butter flaky pie dough from scratch, rolling and crimping a beautiful crust, and baking custard-style pies to a silky, crack-free finish. You'll also learn to set a perfectly creamy panna cotta, cook a bright fruit sauce, and shape bread dough into a festive pumpkin centerpiece. Whether you're in charge of dessert this year or want to bring something showstopping to the table, you'll leave with the skills and confidence to bake a Thanksgiving to remember.

What's on the Menu:

• Maple Honey Pecan Pie with an All-Butter Flaky Pie Dough: A classic, sweetened the natural way. Toasty pecans are baked in a rich maple and honey filling inside a tender, flaky all-butter crust. Chef Michelle shares her secrets for pie dough that's easy to work with and bakes up beautifully every time.
• Triple Chocolate Pumpkin Pie: Pumpkin pie meets chocolate lover's dream. This decadent update layers rich chocolate with creamy spiced pumpkin for a pie that's sure to win over even the pumpkin skeptics at your table.
• Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Orange & Cranberry Sauce: A light, elegant alternative to heavy holiday desserts. Silky, tangy buttermilk panna cotta is topped with a bright orange and cranberry sauce, a beautiful make-ahead dessert that's perfect for entertaining.
• Pumpkin-Shaped Bread: The cutest loaf on the Thanksgiving table. Learn the simple shaping trick that turns soft, golden bread dough into a pumpkin, a festive centerpiece that's almost too pretty to eat (almost).

The class ends with the sweetest part: tasting everything you've baked, from flaky pecan pie to creamy panna cotta and warm, fresh-baked bread. Come hungry; this is the Thanksgiving baking class Atlanta home bakers have been waiting for.
