French Macaron Baking
Savor Patisserie – Fort Worth

Galentine’s Day Pressed Flower Class
Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden
Sunday, February 9, 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. | $70/member, $80/non-member
When working with pressed flowers, what better setting than the verdant grounds of the Arboretum? Andrea Castaneda of Designs by Andrea will lead a small group in creating frame-worthy art pieces. This is one of Andrea’s final workshops before she pivots her business to focus full-time on her wildly popular bouquet preservations; sign up while you can. (Learn more about Castaneda in our profile right here.)
Chocolate, Cheese, and Bubbles
Scardello Artisan Cheese
Multiple dates and times | $40
Chocolate and champagne are Valentine’s Day staples; Scardello argues that adding cheese to the mix creates a romantic trifecta. Attendees will sample pairings of all three. One example: champagne, Stilton (a crumbly blue), and Hanoi Fudge (rich chocolate with coffee and caramel notes) from Dude, Sweet Chocolates.
