Course Notes

Students will need to bring a large cake tin/Tupperware with them each day which is capable of fitting a large (2 tier plus decorations) cake in. Mrs Middleton is gluten and lactose intolerant so has experience with adapting recipes for allergies. If your child has a food intolerance/allergy please contact us before booking so we can confirm whether we will be able to accommodate.
