As for what you’ll learn, that depends on the type of course. You could be learning baking basics or more advanced techniques to take your home baking to the next level. You can also expect time at the end of the sessions to tuck into your delicious creations, allowing you and your group time to relax and reflect on your favorite parts of the class.

If the Great British Baking Show has you wanting to master your favorite British cakes, there’s a class for that, and your chef will gladly introduce you to the recipes, techniques and specialized equipment required to make them. Equally, if you want to spend the session with your little ones whipping up a batch of cupcakes, you can learn to do that too.
