No time to bake? Think again. With our speedy Bake nights you can master a specific skill or bake in no time. In each short evening class, we’ll get you hands-on and baking as quickly as possible, watching and following our chef teachers as they guide you through core techniques and recipes.

Over- or under-whisking, not enough sugar, too hot an oven… there are lots of pitfalls to avoid when making meringues. In just 90 minutes we’ll help you become confident in the basics of meringues – ideal for kisses, nests and pavlovas – plus, show you how to turn them into showstopping puds such as chocolate-filled cakes or gooey stacks.
