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.

Classes Reviews

We thoroughly enjoyed our Masterclass with Paul and it was worth every penny. We will definitely be recommending this to others and will be booking on the Masterclass in Chocolate next!

Adult and Child Class - Bread Making & Easter Buns  reviewed by Marian & Ciara

My daughter and I have just returned home from a baking experience at your Rickmansworth branch. It was a wonderful afternoon. Paul was great, he showed real enthusiasm. 

First, I would like to thank you Paul for a wonderful Patisserie class this past Thursday night. As I came home with many varieties of goodies we made, I shared 'slices' with my neighbours and my daughter! The biggest thumbs up on Patisserie! Your course was a real eye opener on making the fillings. I thank you!

Wow, wow, wow,
What a totally fantastic evening. I loved it so much. Paul was absolutely brilliant and made the course come to life.
He was so clear in his instructions and so encouraging with his advice and comments.
The only down side was that I am on a NO alcohol month November!! So I had to miss the white wine!!! Shame.
Seriously just a fantastic evening.
Thank you so so much.

PS “I’ll be back & I’m telling everyone they need to come on a course!
