Strugglebeard Bakery โ Bake & Sip Experience
Strugglebeard Bakeryโsย Bake & Sipย isnโt a class you watch โ itโs an experience you live.
Hosted and taught byย Quinton McNair, founder of Strugglebeard Bakery, this interactive night invites guests behind the scenes of one of Chicagoโs most loved gourmet dessert brands. From mixing to decorating, you donโt just learn how to bake โ you create something you can take home and brag about.
Each guest (or couple) will be guided step-by-step through bakingย four mini bundt cakesย using Strugglebeardโs signature techniques and flavors. Quinton walks you through the process, shares tips, and makes sure everyone feels confident, whether itโs your first time baking or your hundredth.
Once the cakes come out of the oven, the real fun begins. Guests move into the decorating phase, where everyone gets to ice, drizzle, and finish their cakes their own way โ turning each dessert into a personal masterpiece.
But this isnโt just bakingโฆ itโs aย Strugglebeard party.
Throughout the night, guests enjoy:
ย Live karaokeย for singing, laughing, and cheering each other on
ย Charcuterie boardsย for grazing between rounds
ย Two handcrafted cocktails includedย with every ticket
And hereโs the Strugglebeard twist: the cocktails are crafted around flavors thatย show up in the bakingย โ meaning the same ingredients youโre sipping are the ones youโre using in your cakes (think cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and spirit-infused notes). Additional cocktails are available for purchase for anyone who wants to keep the vibes going.
The room stays lively, social, and fun โ whether you come with a date, a group of friends, or solo and leave with new ones. Itโs part baking class, part cocktail lounge, part karaoke night โ all wrapped in the warm, welcoming energy Strugglebeard Bakery is known for.
Youโll leave with:
Four mini bundt cakes you baked and decorated yourself
New baking skills
A buzz (from both sugar and cocktails)
And a night youโll definitely be talking about
This isnโt a lecture. This isnโt a quiet workshop. This isย Bake & Sip โ the Strugglebeard way.ย
