An Introduction to Baking
This introductory workshop is aimed at complete beginners to baking and cake making. By the end of the workshop you will be able to confidently create a range of popular baked items that you can adapt for your own celebrations.
This course is free, however, there is a fee of £30 to cover ingredients and teaching materials.
What you will learn
If you have never made a cake before, or have made a cake but struggled to make it rise properly, taste delicious or look as it should, then this is the class for you!
We will go back to basics, including the science behind baking and learning what each ingredient does. You will learn the essential skills of baking so that you can apply them to any cake or recipe.
Assessment
Learners will be assessed through observation and oral questioning.
Progression
If you enjoy the experience and want to study further, then the progression route would be to enrol on our Level 2 Professional Cookery course.

Case studies
The course covered all areas needed to equip me with the knowledge to enter a professional kitchen. I traveled around the world with the skills I had learnt. I settled back down in Cornwall and have worked my way up to executive chef, overseeing 3 kitchens. I write menus, train staff, team building and quality control of all sites.
Studying at Cornwall College was immensely enjoyable, the tutors have great knowledge and understanding of the industry, while making it fun to learn and encouraging the development of further skills. The Level 2 and 3 diplomas gave me the platform and basic foundations to explore the culinary area. If you wish to join the catering industry my advice is to work hard, commit yourself to your employer, be honest with yourself and use your passion to inspire others around you.
The course has taken me all over the world cooking. Until recently I was Executive Chef on a 5 star cruise liner and here I got to create my own menus, meet and cook for appreciative people. Going to college gave me the tools to travel around the world and to work with and teach different nationalities. I would highly recommend it and cruise ships are a great way to do what you love whilst seeing different countries.
