The beauty of learning to bake is that it can start with a simple loaf of bread. From there, you can build on the skill, finesse and creativity to create a world of mouth-watering delicacies.
Bread makes every meal better, and fresh, quality bread is a satisfying food to prepare, as the dough rises, and the aroma fills the air. After you’ve mastered bread, you can build on your confidence to create pastries, learning classic French pastry techniques making dough, petits fours and entremets to name a few. Then you can get even more creative, adding your own flourishes and melding styles.
Making cakes is a skill that you’ll use all of your life, bringing a personal touch to special occasions and get-togethers. From cupcakes to birthday cakes, you can taste the difference when something’s made just for you.
