Baking starts here.

In this short online class, you will learn my base vanilla sponge – the recipe that made me fall in love with baking and gave me the confidence to start my own cake business many years ago.

A good recipe doesn’t just tell you how to mix ingredients. It gives you direction.

It teaches you what to expect in terms of flavour and texture, and inspires you to explore further.

Whether you are baking for your child’s party or looking for a reliable foundation to build endless flavour variations from, this is a recipe you can trust. And most importantly, it’s a cake you will feel proud to share.
