<p>Legendary bakery and cafes (including Southwold and Aldeburgh) which also has a Bake School. I’m liking the look of the Dedicated To Doughnuts (which I am) half-day sesh (30 Oct) which teaches you how to hand-mix the dough, scale, shape, fry, fill, decorate and take home (ok, devour), for £65. There are also Continental and Scandinavian baking days, a pizza masterclass and even an introduction to sourdough that involves a little bit more than ‘hello’. Gift cards and private lessons available.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Book a workshop at this impressive artisan baking school and discover how to create Italian bread, sourdough and French baguette.&nbsp;Expert Helen Underwood will show you all the tips and tricks of the trade in her country house kitchen during the sessions, which include a welcome brekkie, lunch and homemade goodies from the bakery. Christmas Baking (£125)&nbsp; from 10am-3pm (1 Dec), where you’ll learn to make stollen, panettone and ricciarelli, seems like a good investment. And if you’re feeling really kneady, there’s even a six-night baking retreat in Italy this Autumn (18-24 Oct).</p>

<p>The hip neighbourhood cafe, where you can enjoy brunch, lunch and cocktails, also has a cookery school with a packed events calendar offering everything from Bread Making for Teens to Curries Of The World. Best of all is a private party, where you and your pals get to take over the kitchen, in particular Bake Off (£70pp) inspired by GBBO and as competitive as you wish. You’ll be taught how to create cakes and scones over three hours, plus get a light lunch or supper, welcome fizz and goody bags to take home brimming with all the delicious things you’ve made (hopefully).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Macarons, cake decorating, cup cakes even a flamingo buttercream cake class (I have no idea what this is, but I’d eat it for sure)…the list of classes on offer at this award-winning celebration cake specialist are very on point with GBBO. The Cherry Blossom Cake Class (27 Nov) looks fab-u-lous and you’ll learn everything from how to cover a two-tier cake to hand painting a blossom tree with 3D branches and sugar blossoms: Noel and Matt would be proud. Gift vouchers make a great pressie for the Prue or Paul in your life.</p>
