What Handle the Heat Members have to say:

One of the best purchases I've made this year is easily my HTH Membership.

- Sara K.

The membership is well worth it. I’ve learned so many tricks from Tessa that I believe I’ve become so much better at baking.

- Barbara S.

The membership is so educational without being educational! You’ll be able to learn so much without even realizing you’re learning.

- Ashlee L.

I am getting so many compliments on my baking skills since becoming a HTH member!

- Cindy D.

I don't join many things, but I am so glad I became a member of Handle the Heat! The zoom classes have been amazing!

- Karen V.

The Magic of Baking Course You Need

Learn how to tweak your own recipes! No more misses, only HITS coming out of your kitchen. This is everything I WISH people knew before they’d ever bake another recipe again.

You’ll learn HOW and WHY things work (or don’t) so you can consistently create delicious treats every single time.

What course students are saying:

The course is fun, informative and easy to follow. I love how it literally breaks everything down so you can physically see and understand how it all works without feeling overwhelmed.

- Ali W.

For me, The Magic of Baking is what has made such a difference in my baking. It has COMPLETELY taken my confidence to another level. I actually have had people ask me when I’m going to open a bakery!

- Nicole W.
