Fine Dining Fridays: Valentine’s Edition


A Chef-Driven Dessert Tasting Experience for Couples

Celebrate Valentine’s weekend with an intimate, plated dessert tasting experience at The Baker’s Lab at 5-12 Dessert.

This experience is designed to mirror the flow and intention of a fine dining tasting menu—with desserts as the focus. Rather than receiving a single dessert or slice of cake, guests will enjoy several thoughtfully plated dessert courses served in smaller, intentional portions, allowing you to experience a variety of flavors, textures, and presentations throughout the evening.

Each couple will also receive a curated take-home dessert for two, perfect for enjoying on Valentine’s Day!

The evening features candlelit cocktail tables, luxury Valentine’s décor, and a live saxophone performance during the experience.
