Virtual Baking Classes

Baking Together, From Different Kitchens

There is a particular pleasure in baking that no other format quite matches. It is precise, it is patient, and at the end of it everyone has made the same thing and can hold it up to the camera. For a group spread across different kitchens and cities, that shared object at the end is rather the point.

We arrange live baking classes hosted by bakers your guests will already recognise, familiar from the Great British Bake Off and the programmes that followed it. Each session is private, properly produced and hosted throughout, built around your occasion rather than taken off a shelf.

How the Session Runs

A class runs sixty to ninety minutes. Your baker works from a professional kitchen, filmed from several angles with properly mixed sound, so guests watch hands and technique rather than a laptop propped on a worktop. There is time for questions, and time for the inevitable moment when someone's mixture has not behaved.

Groups range from an intimate eight to a company-wide audience of several hundred. Smaller numbers allow conversation and correction as people work. Larger ones are best built around a clear showpiece, with a host holding the room together.

What Your Guests Bake

The bake is chosen with you. Festive showstoppers through late November and December, patisserie for a client-facing occasion, bread for something calmer, or the signature a baker is known for. Dietary requirements are written into the recipe from the outset rather than worked around on the day.

Ingredients and Equipment

Across the United Kingdom, kits are couriered to each guest in branded packaging: ingredients weighed out, the recipe card, and anything the bake needs that a domestic kitchen will not have.

For guests in Europe, the Middle East and further afield, fresh ingredients do not travel reliably, so the class runs to the baker's shopping list circulated in advance, with digital or pre-paid shopping cards arranged so everyone buys what they need on the day. It tends to be the better arrangement in practice: nothing perishable sits in a courier network, and substitutions are settled in a local shop rather than guessed at weeks earlier.

Private and Corporate Occasions

Companies use these classes for team occasions, client entertaining, seasonal parties and welcoming new joiners. Privately they suit birthdays, anniversaries and family gatherings held across time zones. For the savoury version of the same format, see our cooking classes led by celebrity chefs, and our full range of virtual celebrity experiences covers tastings, speakers and performances.
