Ordered to bring the pies to Christmas dinner? No problem. Cafe 222 owner Terryl Gavre’s new downtown bakery, Bake Sale, is hosting classes throughout the holiday season. Gathered around the shop’s marble slab counter, students learn to make pies (from the dough to the filling to the fancy lattice top) and jams and chutneys (perfect for holiday gifts). On December 2, there’s a holiday cookie workshop with decorating ideas and tricks to make everything ahead and freeze it. The only thing you’re doing at the last minute this season is shopping. Visit bakesalesd.com to see the full schedule of classes, or call 619-515-2224 to reserve your spot. 815 F Street
