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.

                                Make Me a Baker will not only extend your baking skills but you will follow the entire baking process from learning how to create your own recipes and substitute ingredients, to presenting and styling your finished product with tips and tricks from industry professionals.

                                How much savoury baking is involved?

                                The Make Me a Baker course covers both sweet and savoury baking techniques. Of course, some techniques are more suited to sweet baking, however, the program covers a wide variety of savoury recipes (approximately 25% of the program) including savoury quick breads, yeasted breads and pastries.

Basic piping and decorating techniques are covered, however the program doesn’t cover traditional cake decorating in depth such as intricate fondant work.

                                We also get to enjoy a wonderful session focusing on presentation and decoration (with special guest presenters):

                                • Will take place on Zoom, therefore a good Wi-Fi connection is important.
                                • Are held on Sundays.

                                For the periods in between the 'Live' online sessions together:

                                • You will be able to imbed your new-found knowledge through the “homework” component of the program. With the support of a collection of Anneka’s personally-developed recipes specifically related to each module, you will 'practise' the techniques you have learnt.
                                • You will become a member of the Make Me a Baker exclusive online forum, which is only open to students (and alumni students) of the program. Here you will stay in touch with Anneka and other MMAB students (both current and past) and celebrate your “homework” wins and discuss how to improve any baking that missed the mark. You will also be able to directly ask Anneka any baking-related questions you wish, whenever you want!
                                • Anneka will send you tips, tricks and information that will help you improve your baking skills and continue your learning.
                                • There will also be supplementary Q&A sessions held mid-week depending on the needs of the group. These will be recorded to rewatch if you are unable to attend live.
                                • You will have lifetime access to the online program resources so you can work through the content in your own time and come back to it whenever it suits you.
                                Where is the Make Me a Baker hands-on program held?

                                All of our hands-on Make Me a Baker classes take place in the at Flash in the Pan Studio in Rosebery. If you are attending a Make Me a Baker hands-on class it will be held at: Studio 216, Level 2, 30-40 Harcourt Parade, Rosebery NSW 2018.

                                How can I get to the Make Me a Baker kitchen for the hands-on sessions?

                                Our studio kitchen is located in Rosebery, only 20 minutes from Sydney's CBD and under 10 minutes from Sydney airport. It is easily accessible by car and there is unlimited parking on Rothschild Avenue and ample parking in surrounding suburban streets.

                                We are also very close to a range of public transport, including:

                                • Buses: many buses travel to Rosebery and very close to the studio kitchen 
                                • Trains: Green Square Railway Station is only 1.5kms away from the BakeClub kitchen. It is located on the corner of Botany Rd & O'Riordan St, Alexandria

                                Our kitchen is located in a suburban area, with some industrial buildings. We do not have a dedicated parking area but you won’t have trouble finding all day parking as there is unlimited parking on Harcourt Parade directly in front of our building’s entrance as well as around the corner on Rothschild Avenue and ample parking in surrounding suburban streets.

                                I’m thinking of travelling from country NSW or interstate to attend the Make Me a Baker program! Can you help with accommodation options? Are you close to the airport?

                                Many of our students travel long distances to join us for Make Me a Baker.
                                We are easily accessible from Sydney’s domestic airport and it is only a 7-minute taxi ride to the BakeClub kitchen.

                                At the end of each hands-on session we are more than happy to order a taxi to make sure you are back at the airport in time for your flight.

                                There are many options for accommodation close to both Sydney Airport and the BakeClub kitchen in Rosebery. If you would like, we can help you find somewhere nice to stay. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch

                                BakeClub is also only:

                                What happens if I am unable to come along to one of the Make Me a Baker hands-on sessions? Can I still do the course?

                                • Any product or take-home items (other than baked goods!) will be available for you at the next session, or we can arrange to have them sent to you at home. This would obviously depend on the type of product and will be mutually agreed upon.

                                  I loved that we were live with Anneka, cooking in time with her and also we could ask questions there and then. I loved hearing other people's questions as the answer always taught me too. I think Anneka is a very calm and patient teacher. She has worked all of her recipes out well – the timings are perfect. That's what really helped me.
