What you’re booking
A private, full-day baking experience focused on sweet enriched doughs — the kind that make proper Chelsea buns, cinnamon buns, and teacakes. Not a demonstration. You’re hands-on from the moment Martin arrives, mixing, shaping and baking real dough, with guidance at every stage.
This is ideal for a group of friends, a birthday treat, or any occasion that deserves something a bit more memorable than a meal out. Martin brings all the ingredients and equipment. You provide an oven and the people.
What you’ll make
Choose one from each group when you book — or ask about other combinations.
| Group 1 Yorkshire Teacakes Spicy Fruity Buns Hot Cross Buns | Group 2 Chelsea Buns Cinnamon Buns Belgian Buns |
What you’ll learn
By the end of the day you’ll understand how enriched doughs work — why butter and eggs change the dough, how to build strength in a softer mix, how to shape and fill, and how to judge when your buns are ready to bake. These are skills that transfer directly to your kitchen at home.
