Thank you for your interest in classes at Meringue Bakery. Jen Barney is starting a secondary business called Better Baker Academy. This business will focus on training pastry chefs practical bakery skills, etiquette, and will also feature virtual dessert classes for the public. In order to get this new business launched, Jen will be taking a short break from teaching in-person classes. Classes will be paused the summer and fall of 2025. However, Jen loves teaching and you can expect in-person classes to resume in the future!

If you have a gift certificate specifically for a Meringue Bakery class experience you can redeem them several ways:

  1. You can wait until in-person classes resume in the winter of 2026.
  2. You can transfer the class certificate into a bakery gift certificate.
  3. If you would like a refund we will honor that as well. Please email meringuelacrosse@gmail.com to discuss your options.

Jen is excited about Better Baker Academy and she looks forward to expanding her class reach by having a digital platform that she can teach from. Thank you for allowing her time over the next several months to get this new business launched!
