Workshops

Come and learn with Coco's!

If you’d rather make cakes yourself but would like to take them to the extra level and give them a professional finish, you should come along to one of our Cake Masterclasses. From October 2015, Coco’s Kitchen will be running a series of workshops from their beautiful new kitchen in Barrowby on basic & advanced cupcake making & decorating, useful techniques for decorating girls’ and boys’ birthday cakes, sugar paste modelling, novelty cakes and Christmas cake decorations. The first workshop on Getting Better Results from Cupcakes will run on Wednesday 14th October 2015 from 10am – 1pm and costs £40 to include all ingredients & materials. You will take home a box of 6 beautifully decorated cupcakes to wow your family & friends. Coco's will also provide refreshments. To book please contact Coco’s Kitchen on 01476 562629. Gift Vouchers are available if you would like to buy a workshop as a gift for a friend or family member.

Workshops will be held in Coco’s very own brand new Kitchen at Blue Cedar Grange off the Casthorpe Road, Barrowby on a Wednesday morning. If you are unable to attend during the daytime please contact me as I am also keen to run alternative / evening sessions. Half Day (approx. 3 hour) workshops cost from £30. Places are limited so early booking is advised!

Coco’s will also be running Half Term Cookery Sessions for children on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th October 2015. Sessions will run from 10am to 1230 pm and from 130pm-4pm. We will be making fresh homemade pizza and pasta in the morning and making & decorating cupcakes in the afternoon. Places cost £22.50 per child per 2.5 hour session for children aged 7 and over, or a reduced rate of £40 for the whole day.
