Scones LIVE will take place on Saturday 7th March 2026 from 2pm-3.30pm.

Learn to bake the BEST scones you have ever eaten – light, flaky and irresistible – in this fun and casual online baking class! 

I've eaten a fair few scones and even made several batches in my day, none of which compared to the calibre of the scone taught in Anneka's online Scones class. It was revelatory. In addition to Anneka's friendly and approachable style, there are comprehensive explanations, expertise and skills. I recommend this class as a way to relax and switch off from your everyday, if only to experience the very best of scones, made by your own hands.

Anneka will also share a number of recipe variations, including gluten-free scones, so that you can use the techniques and tips learnt to create both savoury scrolls and a divine dessert.

At the end of this class, you will come away not only with new-found skills and confidence but a batch of fresh-from-the-oven warm scones ready for Sunday afternoon tea!

The Scones LIVE class was such a joy to be part of. I'm no stranger to baking or scones but I felt like I achieved my best scones to date, even though I thought I did well prior. I really loved being part of such a wonderful group where I did not feel pressure or judgement, I was just at ease! Come as you are, you are definitely welcome at a BakeClub class.

Hot Cross Buns LIVE will take place on Thursday 2nd April 2026 from 6.30pm-9pm.

Learn to bake the most traditional of Easter breads – just in time for the Easter weekend – in this fun and casual online baking class.

I had never made Hot Cross Buns as they always seemed too difficult. I always enjoy Anneka's way of teaching – I find I learn so much and I love the way she supports her teachings with the science behind it. I find the live sessions work really well, and I learn so much from them ... being able to ask questions live is such a bonus. This course is a great way to learn something which you think is difficult but Anneka makes it all so simple. Absolutely do it!

I definitely got more than I expected from the class. Easy step-by-step instructions provided by Anneka and the opportunity to ask questions, no matter how 'silly', while making the buns meant I got the best experience possible. It was just perfect. Definitely recommend.

I enjoy Anneka's classes and always learn a lot ... It makes a difference to watch and learn, and be able to ask questions, rather than just read a recipe. It was fun and enjoyable to bake along and have Anneka give feedback. A highlight for me are all the tips and tricks from Anneka ... she is a great teacher ... and her recipe is really good!
