SUMMER HOLIDAY PLAYSCHEMES - WEEK THREE!

——

I’ve been absolutely terrible at staying on top of my social media recently, but on the upside, that means I have lots of awesome stuff to share with you all… starting with the incredible cakes that were whipped up during week three of our summer holiday playschemes!

Across the week, the children baked tasty vanilla sponge cakes; whipped up two different fillings (vanilla buttercream and homemade raspberry jam); torted, filled and crumbcoated their cakes; covered them in sugarpaste; and created their fabulous decorations with a whole variety of modelling paste.

This week our theme was Safari Explorers and our young bakers had some really fun interpretations of the brief… 😊

We had an absolutely amazing time and can’t wait to do it all over again at Easter!

THAT BAKING SHOW EXPERIENCE

——

Yesterday we welcomed another group of bakers for ‘That Baking Show Experience’ - our hands-on baking challenge where you’re thrown into a surprise technical bake inspired by everyone’s favourite baking show.

This time we travelled back to series 16, episode 5, where the challenge was Paul Hollywood’s White Chocolate Tart.

Just like on the show, our bakers had access to a fully stocked ‘Gingham Pantry’ to personalise their tarts, choosing from a whole host of interesting ingredients to make the challenge their own.

Everyone produced some absolutely incredible tarts and we really struggled to pick our favourite - they were all so incredibly delicious!

Huge congratulations to all of our brilliant bakers and especially our winners - you all did a fantastic job!

I’ll share more pictures from the afternoon soon, but if you’d like to take on a future ‘That Baking Show Experience’ yourself, keep an eye on the website - new dates will be announced soon… ☺️

And that’s a wrap on our first Holiday Playscheme of the Summer Holidays and just look at these phenomenal cakes! 🤩

During the week, the children baked tasty vanilla sponge cakes; whipped up two different fillings (vanilla buttercream and homemade raspberry jam); torted, filled and crumbcoated their cakes; covered them in The Sugarpaste (an absolute lifesaver in this warm weather); and created their fabulous decorations with a whole variety of modelling pastes from Saracino.

This week our theme was Polar Explorers (manifesting some cooler weather maybe?) and I loved seeing how all of our young bakers interpreted the theme in such unique ways!

We’ve had an absolutely amazing time and can’t wait to do it all over again next week!

REALISTIC SLEEPING CAT CAKES

——

What an absolutely brilliant day!

Yesterday, we welcomed the incredibly talented Jenny Chambers of SquareHen back to the Cake School to teach her brand new, wonderfully Realistic Sleeping Cat Cake class and just LOOK at these gorgeous creations!

Each one has its own distinct personality, with beautiful colouring, delicate features and perfectly boopable noses… it’s hard to believe they’re all made from delicious cake!

A huge thank you - as always - to Jenny for sharing her knowledge, techniques and artistry with us all, and to all of the brilliant bakers who joined us. It was such a lovely way to spend a Sunday and I was blown away by everyone’s amazing creations!

I think you’ll agree… they’re almost too cute to cut into! 🐾

Who thinks we should run this one again…?

PIPED BUTTERCREAM FLOWERS

——

When I tell you… I was a little nervous going into yesterday’s class.

With the temperatures still soaring (albeit fractionally less so yesterday), buttercream flowers were always going to be a bit of a challenge! Heat and delicate piping don’t exactly make the easiest of partners!

But we did it! We worked our way through chrysanthemums, roses, hydrangeas and tulips, along with plenty of leafy foliage… and thanks to a few extra tricks, plenty of patience (and a good dose of perseverance), everyone created some absolutely beautiful cupcakes.

I was so impressed with how everyone embraced the challenge, because let’s be honest… sometimes baking and decorating doesn’t happen in perfect conditions and, if we can do it in 27°C, we can definitely do it when the weather is a little kinder! 😅

Well done everyone… you should be so proud of what you achieved!

BLACKBERRY & NECTARINE GALETTES

——

At our After School Clubs, Home Ed sessions and adults’ Weekly Bake Clubs this week, we continued celebrating the very best of British seasonal berries and, with impeccable timing, the first of the season’s blackberries have arrived. Naturally, they became the star of these rustic Blackberry & Nectarine Galettes.

Now, pastry and a 30°C kitchen are not natural friends… so perfection quickly gave way to embracing a more rustic look, with wonderfully craggy, hand-folded edges that gave each galette its own unique character.

Thankfully, what they may have lacked in precision, they more than made up for in flavour. Sweet, juicy nectarines, tart seasonal blackberries and crisp, buttery pastry made for a spectacular summer bake… perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

If you fancy giving them a go at home, the recipe will be live on our website as part of our Online Recipe Subscription tomorrow!
