This unique 6-month program is designed to make you a confident, inspired and skilled baker - no matter your current ability!
Currently the only baking course of its kind available in Australia, Make Me a Baker is hosted by Anneka Manning and comprises of a series of hands-on classes, workshops, online forums and at-home projects. It not only covers the basics of baking but all of the more challenging techniques as well.
You will follow the entire baking process from learning how to create your own recipes and substitute ingredients right up to presenting and styling your finished product with tips and tricks from industry professionals.
Throughout this comprehensive program, you will learn not only the 'how' but also the 'why' of baking, exploring the science behind it and giving you the know-how and confidence to be a brilliant baker.
Don't take our word for it! Hear what some of our graduates had to say about their Make Me a Baker experience.
Location:
All hands-on classes take place in the Flash in the Pan Studio kitchen in Rosebery (only 20 minutes from Sydney's CBD and less than 10 minutes from Sydney airport).
I highly recommend enrolling in Make Me a Baker. It will be a unique experience with plenty of opportunities to apply yourself and work hard to develop new baking skills, but there will also be countless laughs and new connections forged along the way with lovely like-minded bakers ... The program is thoughtfully designed and Anneka creates a very welcoming, friendly yet efficient learning environment. There is a lot of content and I know I will be referring back to the notes for years to come ... The course has given me a solid basis for delving deeper into understanding the science of baking and to have the confidence to keep experimenting with new skills and techniques at home.
