Afternoon Tea Experience - Cooking Class

Step into the world of refined elegance with our delightful 2-hour Afternoon Tea Baking Experience, where the charm of traditional English tea time meets the joy of hands-on baking. This immersive workshop blends captivating demonstrations with practical baking opportunities, ensuring a memorable and delicious adventure. 

Begin your journey with a warm welcome, then dive into a series of interactive demonstrations. Discover the secrets behind crafting velvety homemade lemon curd and perfecting fruit preserves with a demonstration on making delectable homemade jam. Watch and learn as we guide you through the creation of a classic English Victoria Sponge cake, celebrated for its rich flavour and timeless appeal. 

Next, roll up your sleeves for a hands-on baking session. Channel your inner baker as you create both sweet and savoury scones from scratch—fluffy, buttery, and simply irresistible. You'll also master the art of crafting a rich, fudgy chocolate cake, with a chocolate gnash filling. This cake is perfect for an afternoon tea but also a welcome additional to any future celebration you may have.  

As the experience draws to a close, relax and savour your creations around a beautifully decorated table. Enjoy a barista-made cappuccino or a selection of fine teas as you indulge in the delightful scones, cakes and other treats you've helped prepare. To make the afternoon even more special, we’ll box up any leftovers for you to take home, so you can continue to enjoy the fruits of your labour long after the experience. And to cap it all off, take home a mini jar of our homemade jam as a charming reminder of this special culinary journey. 

Our workshop takes place in a charming studio at the top of a beautiful tearoom, nestled on the picturesque High Street in the Cotswold village of Burford. Surrounded by the quintessential beauty of this historic village, the setting adds an extra layer of enchantment to your baking experience, offering a serene and inspiring backdrop as you create your delicious treats. 

This Afternoon Tea Baking Experience is perfect for a fun day out with family and friends, or for those on holiday seeking an authentic taste of English tradition. It’s also an ideal choice for parties and celebrations, where you can make lasting memories while indulging in delightful homemade creations. If your desired date isn’t available or if you’d like to book the entire session for a private group, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to help make your experience truly exceptional.
