Do you want to make delicious treats to impress your family and friends? Are you getting stuck somewhere in the process and looking like you’ve just come out of an episode of “Nailed it”? Learn and practice a variety of baking treats in a fun environment, where there are no silly questions.

We will make slices, decorated cookies, cupcakes, cake pops and brigadeiros (Brazilian caramel balls).

Focusing on a variety of techniques, we will explore different flavours, which will be sure to please everyone, including gluten free treats. No gluten doesn’t equal no flavour. In our last week, you can bring something you’ve been trying to master but can’t quite get there. Our experienced instructor will guide you step by step. Come and have a break from everything, tapping into your creative side. You might not turn into Donna Hay but you’re sure to have so much fun.
