Tips & Advice

  • Bring your interest in hands-on baking; the class is a practical pastry session rather than a recipe demonstration.
  • Expect to work with professional gluten-free flour blends, including their texture, hydration and structure.
  • The cookie designs involve royal icing piping and flooding, so allow time to practise those techniques during the class.
  • You’ll build and box your own cookie collection, so plan to take your finished cookies home.
