Root Cellar Bakery to Host Holiday Baking Classes
SAN MARCOS This December, the Root Cellar Bakery will host its inaugural series
of baking classes at their downtown San Marcos location.
Throughout November and
December, the Root Cellars
baking classes will allow guests
to experience direction from a
trained French pastry chef and
after-hours access to our
bakery. Some of the food to be
baked includes cobblers and
pies. The bakerys specialty is
gluten-free goods, so recipes
for such will be included.
Holidays are the best time of
the year and I like celebrating
them in every way possible, said manager Emilia Hellums. The most enjoyable way
to prepare for the holidays is through baking and coming together with friends to do
so.
For $60, guests will receive instruction, ingredients, wine, hors doeuvres, and the
ability to take home their creations. These classes are an ideal holiday gift, said
Hellums.
The owner and manager hope to bring in a variety of attendants to cultivate
conversation and bring about the joy that holidays are normally filled with. The
bakerys no Wi-Fi policy also enforces this mission.
Those interested in attending the classes can sign up by email at
rootcellarsanmarcos@yahoo.com or by phone at (512) 392-5158.
The Root Cellar originally opened in June 2014. The bakery and restaurant take
pride in locally sourced ingredients, fair trade coffee and made-fresh food. The
bakery also features a self-serve tea bar. They are also known to be involved in the
well being of the San Marcos community, participating in events such as FoodStock,
which the owner helped found.

Their regular bakery hours are from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. The
bakerys address is 142 N. LBJ St. For more information, visit
