Bake Off Masterclass with Lottie Bedlow and Rahul Mandal

Calling all Bake Off fans, baking enthusiasts and newbies! Join us for an interactive evening and masterclass with Bake Off's Best - Lottie Bedlow and Rahul Mandal.

Lottie Bedlow was the stand-out star from Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off 2020 and taught herself to bake through trial and error.

No stranger to the mishaps (and epic disasters) of homebaking, Lottie's signature sense of humour will see you through this delicious collection of sweet and savoury bakes.

From simple recipes to encourage even the most inexperienced bakers through to more ambitious centrepieces, the focus is always on great flavour. Each recipe highlights potential pitfalls, with notes on what to look out for and how to find a fix.

This book will give you the confidence to go for it, encouraging you to try your best without taking baking (or yourself) too seriously.

Nobody's bake is perfect. So if things go wrong, just remember: WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT TASTES GOOD?

Showstopping Cakes is a dazzling collection of delicious bakes from GBBO winner Rahul Mandal.

From advice on stacking a tier cake to piping flowers, creating the perfect flavour pairing and avoiding a curdled cake batter or buttercream, Rahul shares his scientific knowhow on achieving sublime bakes - as well as advice on how to fix things when they go wrong. Featuring everything from mirror glaze, meringue, genoise and caramel to drip, fault-line and geode cakes, these are jaw-droppingly beautiful bakes that will wow family and friends every time.

Winner of The Great British Bake Off 2018, Rahul won hearts as he quietly baked his way to glory with some of the most spectacular creations the show has ever seen. A research scientist at the University of Sheffield, he continues to spend his spare time baking and writes a regular column for The Times magazine.

The two stars join us here in Bath for demos and tasters. An evening not to be missed!
