New Baking Studio and Party Space Opens in Gowanus

Baking enthusiasts, grab your aprons! Plum & Honey, a new culinary studio and event space, is now open on 9th Street and 2nd Avenue in Gowanus! It features baking classes for kids and adults led by Pastry Chef Katie Rosenhouse, formerly of Buttermilk Bakeshop. After years of running pastry kitchens in New York City and her former bakery, Katie put her heart into opening a space where professional and amateur cooks could gather, revel in the art of cooking, and spend time with fellow enthusiasts.

These aren’t your typical baking classes. Advanced recipes are made by scratch to yield intricate desserts you’ll make time and time again, and are intended to not just teach recipes, but techniques that will inspire you to bring baking into your weekly routine. Featured workshops in the upcoming months include Thanksgiving pie workshops and holiday-inspired macaron, gingerbread, and Buche de Noel classes.

Katie hopes to build a community of food lovers in the coming months who will use the space not only for classes, but for events of every kind. She is a winner of Food Network's Sweet Genius, runner-up on one of the very first episodes of Chopped and an alum of the International Culinary Center, Bouley, Le Cirque, The Russian Tea Room, and more. Her recipes have been featured in Food & Wine, Woman’s World, New York magazine, The Daily News, and others. More information and a class calendar can be found on Plum & Honey's website.
