You could paint something for the wall.

Or make something for the table.

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, CocuSocial’s The Art of Focaccia: A Creative Baking Experience is scheduled for 4 p.m. at The Workshop at Sae Kitchen in Vista.

The project combines bread-making with designs made from herbs, vegetables and colorful toppings.

No frame required. An oven, however, is essential.

First Comes the Dough

The organizer describes a hands-on class covering focaccia dough from scratch, shaping techniques and decorative arrangements.

Garden scenes and abstract patterns are among the suggested designs. Flavor and texture are part of the instruction, too.

That last detail matters. A loaf can look lovely and still have a job to do at the table.

Chef Sofia is the listed instructor. No experience is required, and CocuSocial says equipment and ingredients are provided.

The organizer also says participants leave with their own baked focaccia.

For a beginner, that offers a straightforward way to try bread-making: instruction, supplies and a project with a purpose beyond looking impressive in a photograph.

The Local Story Behind the Loaf

The class lasts an afternoon. The business connection goes back further.

Sae Kitchen identifies itself as family-owned and operated by Nina Smoley, Lauren Perez and Richard Perez. Its ownership page says it has helped food businesses start and grow since 2009.

The business provides commercial kitchen workspace, equipment and storage, with rental-kitchen locations in both Vista and San Marcos.

Its website describes uses including preparation for farmers markets and recurring bookings for food businesses.

The Workshop is the separate Vista event space that Sae Kitchen directs cooking-class inquiries toward.

That’s the useful discovery for North County readers: the business provides workspace for food entrepreneurs while connecting home cooks with a place for culinary classes.

You don’t need plans for a bakery to find that interesting. Curiosity about what happens in a local kitchen will do.

Follow the Class Address

The focaccia session is at 2349 La Mirada Drive, Vista, CA 92081.

That is The Workshop’s address, separate from Sae Kitchen’s commercial rental kitchens on Pioneer Avenue in Vista and Los Vallecitos in San Marcos.

Same business connection. Different doors. Follow the class address.

The class is intended for adults. Ages 14–17 may participate with a parent or guardian.

CocuSocial welcomes BYOB and asks attendees to arrive 15 minutes early.

Check Before You Book

CocuSocial displays $59 per person for October 11. Fever displays $69 for the same session. Check your chosen platform’s final total.

Duration differs as well: CocuSocial lists 2.5 hours, while Fever lists two. Confirm the finish time before making another commitment.

Then comes the dough, the toppings and your artistic judgment.

If the garden scene becomes abstract, you’re still working within the advertised options.
