@ Cutter & Squidge on Every Saturday
Miffy's London takeover is officially in full swing, and Cutter & Squidge is hosting a weekly hands-on baking class that is equal parts therapeutic and delicious. Every Saturday until the end of August, you can head downstairs into their bakery to construct a picture-perfect Miffy Strawberries & Cream Roulade. From mastering the perfect roll to smoothing the edges and scattering edible petals, it's a masterclass in making a dessert look as good as it tastes.
Priced from £65 per person, this 90-minute session is designed for everyone from total kitchen novices to seasoned dessert lovers (and kids aged six and up are welcome, too). Plus, every ticket includes your boxed dessert to take home and a limited-edition Miffy apron to add to your kitchen collection.
@ Bake Master London on Saturday 29th August 2026 and 11 other Saturdays
The Ultimate Baking & Cocktail Challenge is your chance to mix creativity with indulgence. For £65, you'll enjoy a two-hour session with a friend, baking and decorating a three-tier cake, crafting cocktails or mocktails, and diving into a monthly themed challenge.
With options for gluten-free and vegan bakes, it's a brilliant way to spend an afternoon and take home something sweet.
