Health benefits of desserts and baking classes

There’s something about baking that is simply therapeutic. Measuring ingredients precisely; learning how to crack an egg gently; whisking it all together. Plus the wonderful smells that emanate from your oven while you wait for your tasty dessert to finish baking. It’s a great way to open up your senses and forget about your stressful responsibilities. This hobby is all about living in the now, and appreciating what’s good in life: like sweet desserts.

Joel was also very friendly and had plenty of stories to tell us and was very entertaining. Thank you so much!!!!

Iced Cookie Decorating Class - Easter Edition



The teacher helped us how to decorate cookies with the use of different consistencies of royal icing and showed us the feel of these consistencies. She is very helpful in showing us piping techniques and gave us tips to achieve the perfect icing. We were provided with baked cookies and a practice sheet for piping to start with. We also got to take our creations home, as well as cookie recipes! This class is perfect for the holiday season to make cookies for friends and family ♥️

Ultimate Chocolate Making Class

The venue for the workshop was well set up, generous work areas, nice and cool on such a warm day and easy to see Joseph when he was giving individual instructions.
I am impressed that hair nets were required and there were good facilities for washing very sticky gloves.
Joseph is an excellent instructor, very generous in sharing his knowledge and particular is assessing our understanding, if he felt there was some doubt he would summarise the information again and we were always free to ask questions.
The quality of ingredients were top shelf and I am sure contributed to such a good end result, I think our chocolates were pretty good! Comparing notes with family who had done a similar class elsewhere we discovered how generous our supplies were and they were very impressed with the quality and quantity of our end product.
I came away with a better understanding of the components of various chocolates, how to handle the product with care to achieve a good result and now.....I am confident that I can temper chocolate!!!! In the past I have shied away from doing anything too fancy with chocolate but that has now changed. I recommend the orange and brandy filling, yum. Full marks to Joseph and his ever helpful and encouraging assistant Connie.

French Croissant Baking Class



Joel was a fantastic teacher. Super friendly, super helpful and extremely knowledgeable. It great to learn new baking techniques in a fun and friendly environment. His years of experience both as a baker and teacher shone through, he articulately explained each step and assisted us to ensure we left with a pile of our own baked goods we would happily eat ourselves as well as the ones he demonstrated making. What seems like a long class upon booking, makes complete sense when you are actually in process of baking and passes really quickly as you get involved and enjoy the class. Highly recommend this class for learning new techniques, understanding the basics of croissant and Danish pastry baking and for a fun afternoon with a knowledgeable and amiable teacher.

Had an amazing time learning how to make croissant and danish pastries from scratch with Joel! Joel is very patient and knowledgeable, he ensured the class was fun and you’ll learn a lot about baking in general, not only croissants.

Highly recommended for those who love the smell of warm butter and fresh delicious pastries straight out of the oven!

Not recommended for those who are on a diet

Contemporary Mooncake Masterclass



Made nontraditional, contemporary mooncakes in an open kitchen at the lovely venue, Cielo Dessert Co.

Coffee and tea was offered on arrival by cool and friendly staff. Once my group had all arrived the teacher gave us the recipe for her contemporary mooncake, and she ran us through some of the ingredients, trial and error (things she realised during her career - what works and what doesn't), and the steps.
During this, we asked freely any questions we had and she was extremely helpful and knowledgable! Then we got started with the baking. As we proceeded, there were some more questions regarding ingredients and this was answered by a food scientist who is a member of staff! This was super cool.

The lesson was in an open kitchen so it felt like we were working there - this was very fun, it was a unique experience.

The venue was beautiful - modern/contemporary. The lighting and colour schemes of the venue worked magic for our photos. Music was also great - chilled music, love songs, ballads - worked perfectly with the space.

This was most certainly a good value for money. We had a lot of fun learning new skills and being creative with the decorations of our own mooncakes!

All in all a great session. Cool, friendly, and knowledgable teacher and staff. Pretty venue with good music and overall a good vibe.

Ultimate Chocolate Making Class

Exceeded Expectations!

Such a great class. My partner and I had a really fun time and felt like we learned so much. The instructor(got experience of more than 17 years as a Chocolatier) was so knowledgeable and friendly. At the end of the class we were able to bring home the chocolates we made. Both my partner and I were suprised at how professional looking they were. They use all high quality ingredients and you can tell with the end results. I loved the notes they email us at the end of class to help us recreate these chocolates in the future. Would love to do another class and would highly recommend.

French Croissant Baking Class



This was a great workshop! Joël is a patient and engaging teacher. It was good fun to learn how to make (chocolate and plain) croissants and danish pastries from scratch. It also really gave a feeling of pride to see the finished products coming out of the oven, and to eat them (and share them with friends and colleagues). They tasted so good, and we couldn't believe we actually made them! The only minor points of critique would be that the workshop was a bit long and therefore quite exhausting (it lasted a good 6/6,5 hours). Also, it would have been nice and less time consuming if everyone in the group had their own equipment, instead of, for example, having to share rulers and having to wait on each other to finish. That took up quite a bit of (unnecessary) time. Other than that, everything was great and we would definitely recommend this workshop!
