Bakes & Brews

Ever fancied learning how to make perfectly delicious gooey choc brownies and brushing up on your home barista skills while you’re at it?

Well now you can at one of a series of one-day brownie and barista workshops run by Ginger Bakers and Rinaldo’s Coffee.

During the day you’ll have every opportunity to get really hands on (or should that be hands in…) as you mix up gooey chocolatey treats with Lisa Smith (the head honcho at Ginger Bakers) and after lunch you’ll be able to reveal your inner barista as you brew a bean or two under the expert tutelage of Rin Colombi (aka Mr Coffee) at Rinaldo’s Coffee…

What does the day look like??

At Ginger Bakers


Under the watchful eye of Lisa, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to learn some serious brownie skills, pick up insider tips and tricks as you let your imagination run riot when you finish of the session by producing your own signature brownie or blondie.

At Rinaldo’s

After lunch it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get all steamy with Rin… as you embark on his specially condensed home barista course… you’ll take a brief look at the art of coffee roasting, before building up a head of steam and having a go at brewing the perfect espresso, before working up a real froth as you experiment with milk texturing so that you can get seriously arty with your latte…
