A corporate bake-off is the perfect way to introduce a little competition into your next team-building event. We offer both an introductory and master bake-off menu, catering for every skill level.
After a welcome drink and nibbles, the group will be divided into teams to bake under the watchful eye of our experienced teachers. They will then judge the results and small prizes will be awarded. Once the formalities are over, the whole group will sit down to enjoy their hard work with tea, coffee or bubbly, with anything that’s not devoured can be taken away to be eaten in the office. If you have limited time or budget, do let us know and we will try to tailor something to suit.
