Simona Orchard Baking
Truly a fun, hands-on, and unforgettable day. Highly recommend!
The best part? We got to take everything we baked home! On top of that, the atmosphere was lovely, and we had a special experience visiting the apple orchard—tasting their homemade apple cider and bringing home bags of Bramley apples and cider.

We had a really enjoyable time at the cookery school and were so impressed with your lovely setting. Everything was really well organised, the time flew by and you explained everything so well and gave help when needed.

Wendy
Irish Baking Class
Thank you so much for a wonderful baking class. I felt like I learned a lot of great information that I can use when I get home! The treats in class were also fantastic. I just ate one of my scones and although it wasn’t as light as yours, it was a huge improvement in anything I would have been able to make without taking the class! I am looking forward to perusing your cakes book too.
Many thanks to you and Audrey,

Irish Baking Class
This class was exactly what we were looking for! Our family of 8 adults and 1 toddler took the traditional Irish breadmaking class with Mary Anne and had a stellar experience. Upon arrival, we were greeted with coffee & scones. Mary Anne walked us through ~5 recipes during the class, and we were hands-on for 2 of them — Irish soda bread and buttermilk scones. Throughout the class, she shared helpful tips. The facility was beautiful and immaculately clean. There was also a large yard that my toddler ran around in when she needed a baking break! Thank you Mary Anne & Audrey!

I had a lovely day with my Mum Wee Buns Cookery School . Every Friday after Dad died she baked scones and fairy cakes. This was a special treat for the both of us and I loved seeing her hands at work , exactly like I remember when I stood at the counter waiting for the magic to happen at age 8.
I’m glad I found this class online and would highly recommend Mary Ann’s teaching. Aly Harte
