Baking

All Levels

A beginner baking course covering breads, pastries, biscuits, cakes and loaf bakes through interactive kitchen sessions.

About this course

Participants prepare and measure ingredients before baking across five topic areas: small treats, pastries, three-layered cakes, breads and loaf bakes. The course takes place in an informal, interactive kitchen setting and combines baking practice with guidance on budgeting, food safety, hygiene and nutrition. Sessions also introduce sustainable and zero-waste approaches, including recycling and reusing items in the kitchen, alongside discussion of active living. The programme is designed around baking economically rather than focusing only on cakes.

Is this course right for you?
