Make picking up a new skill your 2024 resolution and learn how to bake 

Planning to make a new year’s resolution next year? Why not pick up a new hobby and learn a new skill in 2024? It’s a brilliant way to see you through the dark months of January and February!

If you’ve been keeping up with The Great British Bake Off, you may think that baking is not for the faint of heart or those who lack culinary flair, but you’d be wrong. With the calming and supportive presence of a talented local baker, anyone and everyone can learn to bake delicious and perfectly risen cakes, bread, pastries and more – and even have a relaxing time whilst doing so. 

We think baking is one of life’s greatest pleasures and not one you should miss out on for fear of getting it wrong – which is why we’re so proud of our welcoming range of beginner baking classes across the UK. Our baking courses and classes make learning how to bake a fun and even social experience that is sure to brighten up your otherwise dark and dreary winter.  From learning how to make macarons that could rival any Parisian patisserie to how to make cookies with just the right balance of chew and crunch, once you get the basics of baking down, there’ll be no stopping you! 

Get into the Christmas spirit and learn to bake festive treats for all your family! 

Looking for handmade Christmas gifts or thoughtful festive gifts for your friends and family? Why not attend a seasonal baking class near you and learn how to make delicious festive treats including stollen, Christmas pudding, yule log, mince pies and more! You could even learn how to make cookies decorated with icing mistletoe or pop along to a cupcake decorating class and learn how to add an expert layer of icing to all your yuletide treats! 

At a festive baking class in London, Manchester or your local town, not only will you be making the best homemade Christmas gifts for your loved ones, but you’ll also have the chance to enjoy some truly Christmassy vibes. With the smell of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg baking in the oven and filling the air, it would be hard not to feel totally and utterly festive. 

So whether you’re looking for a little holiday spirit or some cute Christmas gifts (or both!) a baking class is the perfect place for you this winter! 

Make comforting baked goods that will warm you up outside and in! 

If you’re feeling the cold this winter, a baking class could be just what you need to warm up and keep your spirits high. After all, it’s no secret that baked goods are generally very, very comforting. From indulgent chocolate brownies to moreish macarons and heartwarming cinnamon bread – if comfort food is what you crave this winter, then our selection of baking classes are sure to do the trick!

If you're a London local, or you're visiting the capital for the Christmas lights or festive markets, why not add a London baking class to your itinerary? While London is chock-full of incredible bakeries and world-class independent patisseries, nothing quite beats trying things out for yourself! There's so much to discover across the city, from learning to make adorably giftable Japanese desserts like dorayaki to whipping up hot, fresh churros and chocolate on a boat, you're sure to find something that'll make your trip to London truly unforgettable.

And not only are these yummy baked goods perfect for warming your tummy up on cold winter days, but they also look great too. Be it learning how to bake bread in Edinburgh with a gorgeous sourdough loaf as the end result, or a Christmas dessert class in London where you can leave with a beautiful pud fit for any festive table – each time you make one of our tasty treats, you’ll have the comfort of knowing that not only will they warm your cockles but they’ll also look super cute too. 

So if it’s cosy Christmassy treats that are calling out to you this winter, you know what to do!
