Good baking courses to recommend?

For pure begginners, like me, who totaly dont know how to AT ALL.


Where is a good place, I dont mind long. Just a place that will really teach you and ensure you come back knowing what to do.

I think bake it yourself (google for the website and contact details) has a baking course too. But not sure how good it is.

I was a pure beginner when I started baking 3 years ago. I wouldn't call myself very good now, but I'm competent. I didn't attend any courses because I couldn't afford the time. I basically learnt all my baking from watching Nigella Lawson, Rachel Allen, Martha Stewart and Jamie Oliver on TV! There are also excellent books and Internet resources out there. YouTube is brilliant for these things. Then it was just practice, practice and practice. My friends and colleagues were the beneficiaries after
DH complained of putting on weight...

I would still like to attend a course one day, but not having attended a course doesn't stop one from picking up the whisk and mixing up some muffin batter!

All the best!

Nah, pretty cookies are good to look, but not good to eat.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions!


I don’t mind attending a longer session (e.g. 3-4 hours or more) as I prefer something hands on. No point just sitting there to watch, then bring home a recipe. It’s as good as learning from books, TV or internet!

Will check Phoon Huat too. The cc near my place has some baking classes but they’re not the type I’m looking for. My friend and I are keen to learn baking but more importantly, decorating. I’ve made cupcakes and they’re very tasty but I’m bad at decorating them. Just simple icing and I can’t seem to spread it properly. Always looks messy! Not like those pretty ones sold online or at shops.

Shermay's cooking school at Chip Bee Gardens is well known. The EZ cooking at Great World and another at United Square is popular too, however no first hand experience so can't comment further

Thanks! Will check out the Chip Bee Gardens and Great World ones.
