My First Baking Class

Oh my, the 21st of July 2012 was the most amazing afternoon, it was my very first baking class for Made From Scratch. I was so honoured to teach six very lovely ladies how to make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing, brownies and lemon curd from scratch. We had a wonderful afternoon of drinking tea, nibbling on teaspoon cookies, baking, chatting, decorating our cupcakes and of course enjoying our spoils at the end. My main goal for these classes is to be able to share with you my passion for baking, show you how to make delicious home made treats for your family but also bend the rules a little – who says a baking class can’t be a beautiful afternoon tea with flowers, bunting and little goodie bags to take home? I have been completely blown away by all the support that I have had for these classes – thank you so much Ellie from Jel Photography who took the stunning photos and video that you see, my beautiful Mum thank you so much for keeping the kitchen and Kora in order you were a life saver, the lovely Lucy Olive who designed the sweet recipe cards, my blog and for everything else that you have ever done for me! And of course the gorgeous ladies who attended to the class, without you this wouldn’t have been possible and I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did! I can’t wait to release the dates for the next classes, but for now enjoy the photos from the first. x
