Relax. Create. Connect.
Step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in a joyful, hands-on baking experience. You’ll learn new skills, connect with other women who share your passion, and create something truly meaningful—both in and out of the kitchen. It’s your time to grow, recharge, and make memories that last long after the final bake.
It’s more than just baking.
About at my Baking Retreats…
I started organizing baking retreats as a fun way to teach in-person classes for my Baking Academy students. But it turned into so much more than just baking.
When you come to my retreat, you’ll enjoy:
- Hands-on baking classes with Heather, a professional baker and teacher
- Expert instruction in fun and challenging recipes – no experience needed
- New friendships with women who share your love of baking
- Delicious meals and plenty of incredible food throughout the retreat
- Relaxing free time for local excursions, exploring, or simply recharging
- A welcome reset – step away from the everyday and do something just for you.
Home away from home.
Where do we stay?
At my baking retreats, we all stay together in one big, beautiful vacation home. It makes it super easy to pop into the kitchen for our baking lessons, and there’s plenty of space to hang out and relax. Staying in the same house helps everyone connect faster—it’s like a fun girls’ getaway where new friendships happen naturally. Plus, you don’t have to worry about finding your own place to stay—it’s all taken care of.
What do we learn?
At each retreat, you’ll dive into 3–4 hands-on bread classes—each one designed to help you grow as a baker. Every retreat is unique, with recipes like sourdough, pastries, or classic breads. You’ll feel the dough, learn new techniques, and finally master the recipes you’ve always wanted to tackle. Then head home with the confidence to bake amazing bread for the people you love.
Who can attend?
This retreat is for women who love to bake—all skill levels are welcome! Each retreat is a little different, depending on the layout of the house: most of the time, you’ll need to book with a friend, other times I save a few spots for solo attendees. The women who join are up for fun, ready to learn, and excited to connect over good food, floury hands, and lots of laughter. Please note: members of my Baking Academy will get early access to register. If you’re not a member, you can sign up here to increase your chances of getting a spot.
What’s included?
At my baking retreats, everything is taken care of so you can relax, learn, and enjoy every moment. Here’s what’s included in your unforgettable experience:
- 3 nights in a luxurious vacation home filled with beautiful amenities
- Hands-on baking classes taught by me, a professional baker
- All meals prepared by a personal chef (bring your stretchy pants!)
- Fun group activities and downtime to unwind
- Swag-filled gift bags to take home
- New friendships and memories that last a lifetime
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies for each retreat based on the location and what it takes to put it all together. Some rooms may be priced differently depending on comfort and size. Most spots are double occupancy, so plan to book with a friend! A nonrefundable deposit is required to hold your spot, with the remaining balance typically split into two payments. Most retreats range from $2,000–$3,000 per person—and with luxury lodging, chef-prepared meals, expert baking classes, and unforgettable memories, my past attendees have said, “it’s worth every penny.”

“I had the best experience EVER! I will be talking about this retreat for as long as I live. I was extremely anxious going into this alone but I am so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and connected with some amazing women. It was everything I could’ve imagined and so much more. I can’t wait to try and make it to another retreat!”
-Waco Retreat Attendee
“It was awesome! I really didn’t know what to expect and wondered how it would all work out to spend a few days with people I didn’t know, but I felt comfortable right away with everyone — it was like we had always been friends, which made it so fun to participate in all of the baking and other activities together.”
