The Gourmet Paparazzi, also known as KC Clay Co., is a small Kansas City cottage home bakery. It mixes cookies and classes with crafts like polymer clay earrings. The owner brings 40 years in the food industry as a head chef, food truck owner, home bakery owner and restaurant manager. She also has a love of food photography.
Cookie decorating is the core class. Right now cookie classes are on hold because of a family emergency, so check before you plan around a date. The owner has said she wants to add classes in charcuterie, mini cheesecakes, cocoa bombs, gourmet cookies and craft topics such as sugar scrubs, plus guest teachers down the line. Treat those as plans, not a current schedule.
Reviewers like it. The bakery holds a 5 rating from 17 Google reviews. Gift cards are on sale and work for both products and classes, so you can buy one now and use it once classes start again.
