Recent reviews of Scone Making Masterclass
- 5/5 from Gillian Pratt, attended Aug 2026: Loved this class. Made 3 types of scones within 90 mins … and had time for a cuppa! Great facilities and excellent instructor.
- 5/5 from Ewan Robertson, attended May 2026: Fantastic class and tutor took the time to chat thru queries and techniques. Scones are amazing.
- 5/5 from Nikki Williams, attended Apr 2026: We had a great day learning how to make scones. Susie and Alena were fantastic, guiding us and giving us tips. Would highly recommend!
- 5/5 from Chloe Strugnell, attended Apr 2025: Our teacher Collette was friendly, informative and experienced which added up to a very relaxed class. We made 3 types of scones with clear instructions written and verbalised by Collette. The scones were delicious and all the ingredients were weighed out and measured for us which helped with the making of them. Collette was professional and attentive and I liked how she always asked if there were any questions or queries. The best bit was seeing the scones coming out of the oven and feeling proud of our masterpieces.
- 5/5 from Alison Francis, attended Mar 2025: Great fun and Heather was an excellent teacher passing along hints and tips too. Would recommend the course to all aspiring scone bakers
- 4/5 from John Paterson, attended Jan 2025: Bethany was very engaging and informative. I was active all the time so felt involved. Would recommend for a short class to improve skills
- 5/5 from George Andison, attended Nov 2024: What an excellent scone making course, our teacher was really friendly and was great at explaining all the steps. End result was three different sets of scones to take home. The whole booking process was easy and great up dates on the lead up to the day.

- 5/5 from Isabella, attended Sep 2024: The class was truly great! We prepared 3 different types of scones and our teacher Collette gave many helpful tips (how to replace ingredients if needed or If Not available in other countries). All 3 recipes were handed out in a leaflet to take home.
- 5/5 from Jacqueliine Hutson, attended Jul 2024: The session was fabulous! Thanks to Joanna and Ella. Delicious scones! Very helpful tips too.
- 5/5 from Lucia Salome, attended Apr 2024: A treat indeed to learn three scone recipes and bring them home to share with friends and family. Teacher Colette was concise, friendly, encouraging as we made (small) messes and had fun getting our hands floury. Appreciate Colette and the helpful team keeping our areas tidy and clean. The recipes were easy to learn, the techniques and little nuggets of experience from Colette is what makes the class exceptional.
- 5/5 from Fiona, attended Apr 2024: We had a great time at the class - the instructor was lovely and made the class fun and friendly.

Great to do with a friend or give as a gift.

Would definitely recommend a quick class. Nice way to learn it reaffirm what you know, and you come away with "goodies"
