Cake Making Classes

[Herbie58]

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.

Like your style.

Thanks pal I'm not big on smart arses.

I'd say taking your time to go through my posts was being a 'smart arse'.

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.

Listen son, I posted that as you tried to be a smart prick on another thread. Check the timelines.

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 1 - I'm female, and not your 'son'.

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.

Baggsy the cream horn!

You'll find a jam doughnut has the best trajectory... one of those in the chops and it's game over...

Nah, custard pie is messier!
