Cake Making Workshops

Simple ingredients, recipes and techniques are used to create a wide range of delicious baked goods including scones, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, biscuits, cupcakes, cakes and cake decorating such as butter cream icings, sugar icings, brittle, pralines and more.

They leave with baked goods that they eat themselves or give as gifts to family and friends, eager to try their recipes again and to find new ones.
