Easter Baking Masterclass

This relaxed, welcoming class is perfect for anyone who loves baking, whether you’re a total beginner or looking to build your skills.
Together, we’ll make two classic Easter bakes:

• A Simnel cupcake with decoration
• A traditional spiced Hot Cross Bun (with an optional chocolate orange twist).

You’ll leave with showstopping bakes and the confidence to recreate them at home.
What you’ll learn
- How to mix, knead, and prove enriched dough
- Techniques for flavouring, shaping, and finishing festive bakes
- Decorating skills for eye-catching Easter treats
- Tips for baking with seasonal spices and citrus
What’s included
- All ingredients and equipment
- Complimentary tea throughout the class

To help us reduce waste, please bring your own containers to carry your bakes home.
