Bring some holiday cheer and friendly competition to this festive team building activity at your place. Chef Daniel will guide you in this decorating duel that will invigorate creativity and improve collaboration and communication skills in a sugary-sweet way.
First, your team will make homemade hot cocoa to sip on as you decorate. Then, Chef Daniel will teach the group how to master frosting cookies like a pastry-maker, including the proper techniques for flooding and piping your design. After the proper preparation, you'll break into groups to decorate gingerbread and sugar cookies. Work together to create festive designs to present to the judges to see who will be crowned the Cookie Decorating Master.

We had a wonderful time and experience at Chef’s Daniel Vietnamese Cooking Class. We met some very nice couples that contributed to the fun experience. Chef Daniel provided some awesome cooking tips while we prepared the delicious items in the course. After cooking we all sat down at the set table and devoured the delightful meal prepared by us and Chef Daniel. Thanks again for a great experience!

Last night I took Chef Daniel’s “Authentic Italian Comfort Food" class and had a wonderful time. I learned a lot and cannot wait to attempt some of the recipes at home. I was always too intimidated to attempt fresh pasta but with the right tools and techniques it doesn’t seem so daunting. Chef Daniel was also very welcoming and informative. I’d love to take another one of his classes one day!
After graduating from culinary school, Chef Daniel completed an internship in Umbria, Italy and became a sous chef shortly afterward, partnering with Iron Chef Jose Garces. He's spent the last five years as the go-to chef for a selection of eateries within a restaurant group that has helped elevate a neighborhood in disrepair into a desirable upscale destination.
