Now that men are getting into home baking, it’s no longer only Mum’s job to be the one keeping the cake tin filled at home, but the simplest cake making and decorating can be daunting for anyone. So think of this as your cake making two-step: quick ways to get light and richly flavoured cakes at home, and then how to decorate those cakes simply, yet ‘wow’ everyone. Planning helps, so Dan will take you through getting organised before you start and what to watch for to ensure your cakes are the best they can be. Dan will explain how to make and use different types of icing and buttercream, and the best way to get a simple professional look at home.

Dan Lepard
Award winning baker and Guardian food writer Dan Lepard in the queen Hall on West Street His first session is at 10am on breadmaking, followed by an afternoon of cake baking and icing.
Morning: 10am-12 noon, 2 hours From first loaf to sourdough: a breadmaking primer
When you first start to bake bread it’s inevitable that you’ll be thinking about sourdough as soon as the first loaf is cooling. So in this two hour workshop Dan will get you started on your first loaf and your first sourdough in tandem: show you how they relate to one another and how the recipes are interchangeable with just a few tweaks. You’ll look at different flours, show how easily both breads can be mixed and baked for the best crust and flavour, and produce everything from delicate dinner rolls to large wheels of bread for a feast.
