Cake-tastic Men's Baking Guild - Learn to Bake the the things they remember - starts 26th Sept 2026
Most Men don't learn to Bake. Not because they can't, because they have never be shown properly.
The Cake-tastic Men's Baking Guild is a four session hands on Workshops, created specifically for men aged 40+ who want to learn real baking skills, and the associated techniques (and not just follow recipes). Craft their own Bakes with fresh local ingredients, but also learn smart shortcuts and flavour variations so they can impress their Family and Friends.
We start on 5th September, at 9.30am, all Workshops will be 2 hours in duration, and take place at The Cake-tastic Studio, Craycombe Retail Park, WR10 2QS.

Workshop 2 - Crowd Pleasers & Coffee - 3rd October
Workshop 3 - Pastry Fundamentals - 7th November
Workshop 4: - Everyone's favourite Dessert - 5th December
Each session will be hands on. We will make one hero bake, and one quick win. Then time for Tasting. You will then take everything you make home with you to share with, and impress Friends and Family, (these will be the bakes they remember). Then revel in the knowledge that you made that!
And the best bit, connect with other like-minded men through a shared experience, in a relaxed environment.
No baking experience is necessary.
There are 8 spaces available, so come and join us for skills and mastery, technique, tasting and good company! Book using the Book Now button below.
This is a 4 month / 4 Workshop commitment, with sessions taking place as per the dates above. All sessions must be paid for even if you are unable to attend. Non payment / late payment will result in late fees being added to the balance outstanding.
