BAKE YOUR WAY TO TEAM HAPPINESS?

Want to bring your company together in a friendly environment, with an event that is suitable for all ages, abilities and physical needs, plus isn’t alcohol or weather dependent? Then look no further!

CUSTOM PACKAGES TO SUIT YOUR TEAMS TASTE

Whether you're a small business after a fun bonding experience or a larger corporation seeking to strengthen interpersonal relationships, I’m here to whip up (excuse the pun!) a flexible package tailored to suit your company's needs. Typically, I recommend groups of no more than twelve people to give everyone the space and attention to make a delicious bake and have a fantastic time. If you’re looking to book for a bigger group then do get in touch to discuss options. In the past I have been able to rent out larger kitchens or travel to workplaces with appropriate facilities.

 As a guide, I love to run classes that incorporate a savoury bake followed by a sweet treat, with a theme of your choice. Popular past events include a Bake Off-style challenge, Pizza Night and Festive Christmas Baking. Classes last up to three hours, so you have ample time to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

I’m also able to run the majority of my regular classes for teams and you can check out gift voucher options for a convenient yet meaningful gift experience.

A WARM, WELCOMING (AND DELICIOUS) ATMOSPHERE

Even if your team is made up of experienced bakers or complete beginners, every person will leave with a new or improved skill. And my low-pressure environment means they’ll have so much fun they won’t even realise they’re learning! My classes are a way to unwind, de-stress and improve well-being. Nothing boosts morale like joining forces for a successful baking adventure. And along the way you can expect the gorgeous smell of freshly baked goods, a ton of laughter and - fair warning - a little sugar rush!

Once you’re elbow-deep in flour, that pesky email will melt away…

 

Who's got the best technique on your team?! Get your bets in now!

UNLEASH YOUR CREATIVITY AND HAVE FUN 

Be it mastering the art of a moist sponge or perfecting piping techniques, every step of the class will ignite creativity. Oh and we can also incorporate a touch of friendly competition, such as a delightful decorating challenge…

BENEFITS THAT GO BEYOND BAKING 

Baking isn't just about tasty treats… okay that’s a very big and satisfying part of it! But in a world dominated by digital screens, baking offers a much-needed break from the virtual realm. My classes provide the unique sense of achievement, happiness and connection that only comes from creating something with your own hands.

 

What’s better, yummy food or smiling faces? Come along and experience both!

HOW THE CLASS RUNS 

I know it’s usually the administrative heroes who organise these events. I’m here to make your life easier by providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for you and your team!

  • Upon arrival you’ll be greeted (or maybe tempted is a better word!) with a mug of delicious coffee and warm chocolate cookies or cake.

  • I will provide aprons, equipment, ingredients and recipe sheets.

  • In between baking your team can sit and relax on my lovely terrace. This is the time to boast about your new-found skills for the competitive ones amongst you! 

  • Once the baking is complete it’s time for the yummiest part… indulge in your creations! You’ll also be given boxes and bags to take your treats home (it’s up to you whether you share with your loved ones 😉.) 

  • And to make sure everyone has the confidence to re-create their baked goods at home, I’ll send out recipes after the class along with any pictures taken.

YOUR WHISK-WIELDING ALLY IN TEAM EVENTS

With over 13 years of experience and clients that include Google, Facebook, Lacoste and the NHS, not to mention small and local businesses such as Bobbins Bicycles, I’m here to invite you into my kitchen and create the flavour-filled baking adventure of your dreams!
