Don't take our word for it! Hear what some of our graduates had to say about their Make Me a Baker experience.

I absolutely loved the experience of being part of the Make Me a Baker program. I highly recommend it. It was an amazing experience to receive a wealth of information from Anneka and also to have the opportunity to put it into practice straight away. At the end of the course I felt a lot more confident to bake amazing dishes that I never dreamt of. Being around people who shared the same passion was very special too, and whilst the classes were challenging at times, I felt supported by everyone as they were going through the same journey.
