Spent a wonderful day with talented French pastry chef Fanny Zanotti baking Swedish treats in a traditional bagarstuga (baker’s cottage) as part of my Swedish baking retreat!

Spent the most unforgettable morning learning the art of kanelbullar (traditional Swedish cinnamon buns) at award-winning baker Linda Walstrom’s charming B&B in the gorgeous Stockholm archipelago.

I’m getting into the Scandi baking spirit with these delicious semlor—light, cardamom-scented buns filled with marzipan and clouds of whipped cream, finished with a dusting of powdered sugar.

I can hardly believe it’s been four years since I first tied on my branded apron, made my debut on social media, and welcomed bakers to my classes!

What an incredible year it’s been at the Cotswolds Baking Workshop. From moving into our beautiful new premises to sharing so many laughs, skills, and delicious bakes with all of you, 2024 has been one to remember!

I was overwhelmed at a confectionery masterclass at Bread Ahead Bakery in Borough Market last week.
