Alice’s Braids, Buns & Bubbles Evening 25th February 2027

Not the usual "bubbles" in a glass! But, the big shiny white and wobbly bubbles of a focaccia dough.......

Enjoy learning to create various kinds of baked produce, all organic and healthy, which you will be taking home at the end of the evening. All equipment and ingredients as well as supper, facilities and parking is included. You need bring nothing. It runs from 6pm until around 9:30pm depending how long it takes to prove the dough and bake it.

You will make a braided Babka, which you can stuff with a delicious filling of your choice, some very popular puffy epic cinnamon buns as well as a focaccia, beautiful, wobbly and bubbly, into which we can push some olives, or tomatoes, if this takes your fancy on the night! All of this takes place in the bakery which is a warm, relaxed and friendly environment with full guidance and demonstration, by Alice, along with a glass of wine (healthy soft drink choices also available), and a delicious smorgasbord of various foods will be laid out for you to keep you going throughout the evening. You will also take home the recipes along with your items.

The idea is that you learn to create, enjoy yourself, and find the whole evening fun and retain the knowledge to be able to continue to do this afterwards. All of this with full guidance and attention, whilst we hope that you ask lots and lots of questions along the way. Alice will even share a whatsapp connection for you to be guided after the evening is done.

We use as many local and seasonal ingredients as possible and no artificial additives are used here.

These intimate classes are ideal for individuals, groups of 4 friends, as a soiree, or for corporate small team building. (Please ask if you would like to bring more than 4 people as we will be able to hire a local venue suitable for this.)

You will be creating, and taking home:-

1. Freshly baked braided Babka

2. Some cinnamon buns

3. Focaccia, a full tray

It takes place in the bakery which you may have seen on your Saturday visits, so cosy and intimate!

I will demonstrate everything first in any case and also assist. There is no pressure! It is all meant to be fun!

Be prepared to get stuck in... you will be weighing, rolling, lifting as well as working with a hot oven, involving handling hot pans, boiling water, and sharp knives.

Wear something that you don't mind getting floury and doughy! And be able to roll up your sleeves, and be comfortable. Don't worry about your clothing too much or a pinny; it's relaxed.

Alongside the baking experience there will be a selection of food choices as a grazing buffet. We hope that we please everybody, examples include antipasti such as olives, artichoke hearts, falafel, a selection of cheeses, sauerkraut of course!, parma ham, grapes. Gluten free won't be something that we are able to provide on this day unfortunately, as wheat is going to be all around us at all times.

NOTE: Please be advised that within 30 days of the workshop we cannot cancel a reserved place and give a refund however we will either be able to move you to another date or attempt to re-sell your place should you need us to, and if successful, we will refund you.
