Baking Classes at Cinnamon Square
We want to share our 35 years of experience and knowledge with you.
About our Classes
The aim of our baking classes is for us to share our knowledge and expertise in an environment that allows you to learn with confidence, so that you can continue to use your new skills back at home.
The class sizes are small, informative and suitable for enthusiasts plus those with a little more experience. They are run by Paul Barker who has 35 years of baking expertise. His unique approach for precision baking allows participants to not only master the craft techniques but also provide an insight into the science of baking. In addition, Paul has won many industry awards including a baking industry award for his training skills and was a finalist for Best Tutor at the Cookery School Awards two years running.
We can also host any of our classes as private functions for friends, family or corporates. Please email enquiries@cinnamonsquare.com to find out more.
