There is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread and personally, I feel no bigger baking achievement than when I serve up a freshly baked loaf to my family and friends.

Bread can certainly be intimidating though and all the techniques and vocabulary… kneading, proofing, shaping, proofing again?! One can easily understand why so many people are put off from having a go.

So why not come to Mr Baker’s Cake School and let me take the fear out of bread for you, with some deliciously simple recipes that you’ll be able to make again and again.

In this face-to-face cake decorating class, you will learn:

– How to make a Regular White Loaf that will quite probably convince you never to buy bread again.

– How to make up a batch of light and fluffy Short Proof Dinner Rolls, ideal for lunchboxes, soups and even more besides.

– How to make a delicious Soda Bread, the perfect quick bread for when you don’t have time for all the rigmarole of yeasted bread recipes.

During the class you will receive a handy instruction pack, including all of the recipes you will need to recreate your breads again at home and, of course, you will get to take the breads you bake during the class home as well! Whether you choose to share them with anyone is up to you…

 

The class will be held at my dedicated Cooking, Baking and Cake Decorating Academy in the picturesque town of Fareham, Hampshire, conveniently located between Southampton and Portsmouth. Limited parking is available on site however, this will be offered on a first come first served basis.

You will be able to ask questions throughout the class, so you may wish to bring a notepad and pen with you to take notes.

Confirmation of your order will be emailed to you. Once you have paid for the class, keep an eye on your inbox and don’t forget to check those pesky junk folders!
