Cake Making Classes
Discussion
I can cook to a decent standard, I'm no chef and certainly not to the standard of some of the PH foodies, but I get by. However I can't bake! I can make ok bread, and decent shortbread, but I'd love to be able to make lots of lovely cakes and pastry. My father was a chef and my brother an award winning pateserie chef who worked in some of the worlds best hotels, yet the baking gene seems to have passed me by!
So, have any PHers been on a cake making coure? Can you suggest any? In Essex or London.
I've found these two courses and they seem to be the better ones on offer, but can't decide which to pick.

Without knowledge of anyone who has actually been, I'd go for Leiths personally. Better known, and at £125 for the day, seems pretty good vfm. Incidentally, have you not looked at local colleges? Some do some corking cookery courses for very small money. So, have any PHers been on a cake making coure? Can you suggest any? In Essex or London.

I'm not big on smart arses.Normally, I wouldn't pick anyone up on spelling or grammar, having dyslexic family members I don't feel it's fair to judge people on those things. However, I was being a 'smart arse' in response to a direct personal insult to my OH, whose post may have been blunt and rude but not personally directed at any one individual.

'Dough!'
v8mate makes some pretty damn tasty looking cakes as well.'Dough!'
the leith's course would be the one i'd choose. one of the first things i'd do in a lotto win scenario is the entire leith's curriculum. omyom, and indeed, yom!

I made a spelling mistake on that thread. You posted, in a smart arse way, a correction.
I then looked at your last post on another thread - this one - and did the same back to you. You obviously dont like your own medicine.
Now, you have a problem with that, thats your issue, not mine. Don't try to be a big shot when you can't handle getting pulled up for it.
But please, carry on trying to post. It just makes me laugh at you. I like it.

Point 2 - Read my post again. I was a smart arse because you made direct, rude and personal insults against my other half - his initial post may have been rude, but it was a generalisation and not directed as you personally. Well done.
Point 3 - The fact that you felt the need to go off searching my posts to find a spelling mistake makes you guilty of your own accusation.
Point 4 - Don't call me a prick, yet again you resort to name calling and insults when faced with a challenge to your own behaviour.
