This class is dedicated entirely to gluten-free cakes. While gluten-free choices for cakes have become more wide-spread, it can still be difficult to find a delicious cake when you need one.

At our stalls at the Stirling and Uraidla Markets here in the Adelaide Hills, we used to offer a variety of gluten-free loaf cakes that were extremely popular. In this class, I would like to show you how you can make some of these cakes yourself! We will bake three of the following loaves:

- a plum & hazelnut loaf
- a pear & walnut loaf
- a lemon & blueberry loaf
- an apricot, citrus & toasted almond loaf and/or
- a carrot loaf with walnuts & spices and mascarpone icing

We will start the class around our kitchen table, and I will take you through the recipes step-by-step, before you roll up your sleeves and get into it! While gluten-free cakes are often considered to be too difficult to do, I will give you some handy tips on how to make it possible and, in fact, bake cakes for which you can’t even tell that they are gluten-free.

We will finish off around the kitchen table with a bite to eat (platters with home-made dips, cheese, fruit and my own gluten-free bread), and you will also take one of each cake home, so you can share your creations with your family or friends.

Apart from being fun, the class is designed to provide you with the skills and confidence to replicate each recipe at home. I also keep the classes small (with a maximum of 6 participants), so that there is plenty of opportunity for questions and one-on-one conversations to maximise your learning experience.

The duration of the class is approx. 4 - 4 1/2 hours. The class is suitable for beginners as well as those seeking to expand their repertoire.
