ABOUT SWEET SPOT STUDIO
Sweet Spot Studio opened in Fall 2018 to satisfy the cravings of curious and aspiring bakers of Charlotte and surrounding areas. We offer pastry and baking classes to all levels of bakers, as well as intensive workshops for industry professionals.
Our classes are fun, educational, and delicious — perfect for a girls’ night out, date night, mother-daughter time, and anyone looking for an enlightening outing!
OUR MISSION
At Sweet Spot Studio, we strive to provide accessible, affordable, and high-quality education in Baking & Pastry Arts. Many students appreciate our wide range of classes without the need for long-term commitments.
Many of our students work in other fields and baking is their creative outlet. Whether switching careers, honing existing skills, or learning something new, our classes cater to various needs. We aim to demystify baking and empower students to continue practicing outside the classroom.
For advanced students, we offer Level 2 and Professional Level classes. With prerequisites listed, our advanced classes include boot camp style classes, 2-day classes, and a 12-week Professional Training Program, making us a premier destination for advanced baking education.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Chef Jossie is passionate about teaching. At Sweet Spot Studio, once you become our student, you are always our student. We make students feel comfortable and confident, fostering a supportive learning environment.
Our goal is to set realistic expectations for growth and build students' confidence. We provide high-quality educational experiences not offered by other recreational cooking schools in Charlotte.
