Biscotti di Debora
Hands up who would like to learn to bake with me!
Get your diaries out and see what dates you’d like to do, or perhaps buy the experience for a friend.
I have classes planned from January 2020 through to May 2020.
The price includes teas and coffees, some of my sweet treats and a light lunch, and of course you will be taking home the delicious results of your hard work!
I will have some delicious Italian Prosecco from boutique suppliers Vine & Cork, for those who would like to indulge. You will be learning in a small group, in a working bakery.
Here is the planned diary; have a peruse and see what class or classes take your fancy.
All classes run from 10.30 until 2.30.

The dull but necessary small print:
- Small classes , maximum 6.
- There’s a minimum of 4 places. If the number isn’t met, the class will be cancelled and a full refund given or the class will be rescheduled for another date of choice.
- Allergies: anyone with an allergy should first contact us via email to discuss the suitability of the class. I do regularly prepare recipes with flour, nuts, dairy and eggs on the premises.
The classes are held at Unit 18, Dry Drayton Industries, Scotland Road, Dry Drayton, CB23 8AT, and there is plenty of free parking.
