WOW. Where to begin -- this entire experience was incredible. The building itself is stunning - over 400 years old! - and when we walked in we were welcomed by our host, Fulden, and a beautiful tea setup with different prep stations. We were a group of 4 in this experience, and our host taught us tips and tricks to make our Homemade Jam, Homemade Clotted Cream, Possets, Victorian Sponges, Chocolate cake, and Scones (4 unique and tasty varieties!). Someone in our group had a gluten free request so we were able to try our hand at two different GF sponges and two types of GF scones.
After all of our bakes were completed, we sat all together and had a lovely sit-down tea where we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor (and some lovely Turkish spreads as well!)
However, one of the highlights for me was truly our host, Fulden. Her knowledge for baking, creativity in developing her own baking style (hello new pasta shape!) , and her passion for creating community through food is nothing short of inspirational.
Do not miss this opportunity to learn, have fun, meet amazing people, and enjoy some of the best bakes in the UK! Thank you Fulden for all that you do!
