We are going to work step-by-step, using a mould to create a realistic looking face. Because of this, you won't need any facial modelling skills. I’ll show you how to prepare the mould and sugar paste for a flawless finish and then have some fun adding his outfit and cape.
 
The workshop will include the following:
-	Cover a dummy cake and cake board with sugar paste
-	How to work confidently with sugar paste and moulds
-	How to assemble the figurine’s body and add clothing
-	How to add colour with edible dusts and paints
 
This is an ideal course for beginners looking to learn about sugar modelling, and intermediates looking to improve on their skills. 

The cake studio is equipped with all the tools you will need during the workshop. You will leave with an amazing cake with a “Darkside” figurine, boxed to take home safely! Please note, the image above is for illustration purposes only. You will learn how to create something similar to the figurine in the picture, but the main goal is that you have a wonderful experience, and walk away with amazing new skills. Classes are kept small and personal!

Cake Decorating: The Darkside!

Turning passionate bakers into themed cake gurus by looking at the theme characteristics in a few simple steps and create a cake that turns an event into a memory of a lifetime!

Corienne has spend the last decade making hundreds of themed cakes for all occasions and she is always fascinated when reading her enquiry emails.  What she learned was that nobody ever asked for just a ‘general’ beautiful cake, it’s always based on a theme.  So she created a few workshops to show you how to do it too.

The location for the class is very unique and cosy so can only accommodate small groups, so perfect for couples, parents with children or friends getting together.  Tere will give students a real insight into living on a boat in a central London location and you may even meet some of the local birdlife floating past!

Pasta Making Masterclass- Chilled and Super Fun!

Becky 

In the class, we will be looking at Kombucha brewing and we will also spend time looking at other drinks, such as dairy kefir and water kefir. You'll gain a better understanding of lacto fermentation, as we look at preservation, the natural way!

Kombucha is an all-natural, raw fermented tea, milk kefir is a cultured dairy drink and water kefir is a water-based version. They are all a delicious dose of goodness for your gut, low in sugar and packed full of beneficial acids, lactic bacteria, enzymes and antioxidants.  They are both known to carry the highest variety (up to 40) of lactic bacterial strains.

In our small classes, we will discuss everything you need to know about fermenting and brewing your own Kombucha at home.  You'll receive your own scoby to take home with you, to begin brewing Kombucha. You will also receive kefir grains to make your own dairy kefir & water kefir at home.

During the workshop, you will get to try several different flavours of Kombucha and kefir we have on the go as well as enjoy some light snacks & fermented vegetables. You will learn how to create your own Kombucha flavours, how to create the lovely natural fizz, how to care for your scoby & kefir grains, maintain and grow them so you may produce kombucha and kefir endlessly. You will leave with recipes and the knowledge to experiment further at home.

This stuff tastes a lot better than anything store-bought, most likely contains more beneficial bacteria. It will save you a lot of money in the long run if you're buying it from stores at the moment!

Authentic Indian Cooking Group Classes

Have you long dreamt of making your passion for food your livelihood?

Do you dream of becoming a food writer or restaurant critic?
Have you an idea for a cook book or memoir and want to know how to go about finding a publisher?

Or are you already working in food, perhaps in PR or digital marketing, yet yearning for a more creative role or to fine hone your writing skills to get more attention.

I will teach you how to put your passion into practice over a 5 hour workshop with coffee breaks and a slap-up lunch with wine (cooked by me) at my Balham home in my beautiful kitchen.

Have you an idea for a food or travel feature, a Substack, cookbook or food memoir you'd like to get published?

I am a globally published food writer & author who writes for The Telegraph,  Femail, FT.com, Rolls Royce Magazine, Fine Dinings Lovers and Platinum.   I wrote bestselling "How to be a Better Foodie" (I was and remain truly in the vanguard!) and "Flipping Good: pancakes around the world."

At my workshops, I provide plenty of opportunity to share your stories and complete small writing tasks besides venting any frustrations and asking as many questions as you like.

We will discuss what kind of creative food work would suit you best, how to develop your own distinctive voice and style and how to get yourself known in the community and on the best lists.

My advice is current as I am a busy, high profile working journalist who regularly makes successful pitches to new outlets as well as having plenty of highly regarded regular s.

All workshops will take place around my large Sir Terence Conran design kitchen table.

how to pitch editorial  features that will be commissioned

-what to expect from life as a food writer (including how to get invited to the best parties plus anecdotes from my colourful life!)

how to construct and write a feature including what NOT to do and words editors HATE

address the pros and cons of seeking an agent

how to write a book proposal & what to expect

Sudi will share anecdotes about a life spent deliciously: from visiting parmesan caves with Massimo Bottura to foraging with Rene Redzepi, hanging out with Angela Hartnett off duty and Michel Roux jnr plus harvesting saffron in La Mancha, Georgian feasts in St Petersburg and barbecues in the wilds of Sweden and her insight into the current restaurant scene and future food trends.

Try your hand at the classic swirl, rose swirl, two tier and iced gem decorating techniques.

No previous cupcaking/decorating/piping skills are needed. Just turn up and enjoy...and you get to take away 8 of your beautiful creations to show off at home at the end.

You spend no time faffing about with cake mixture or oven timings as Xanthe has prepared this all earlier in the day and you can let your artistic flare run wild. All it takes to become a pro is:

filling a piping bag properly (yeah, there is a wrong way to do it)
perfecting the icing recipe
the classic swirl, the rose swirl, the two tier and the iced gem techniques
sprinkles and decorations are all fun and games, but sometimes less is more!

Everything is provided by the Cookie Girl including aprons, tea, coffee, cupcakes and so all you need to bring is yourself and some cupcake enthusiasm.

Cupcakes aside, you're guaranteed to have a ball - bring those cake-loving friends of yours or meet fellow cupcake enthusiasts. Even bring a date, for one of the best ways to break the ice(ing).. (sorry).
