It was a great event on Saturday! Thank you so much for all of your hard work at all three events. We have had some good feedback from clients and I can safely say everyone was suitably impressed!

Jen Wilson, LWK Kitchens

When we found out that Mich Turner was writing her fifth book, Cake School, we just jumped at the chance to invite her to our flagship cookery school in London to host a one-day masterclass. From our first meeting with Mich right through to the execution of the day, absolutely everything Mich planned was pure perfection. Mich has the most incredible attention to detail, she is truly inspiring to watch work and listen to. Her approach with each individual customer on the day was completely tailored to their skill level and Mich offered such clear and thoughtful instructions to everyone ensuring they left the day levels above when they arrived. The highlight of the day was of course the 3 show-stopping cakes each guest created to take home with them. Her books were always a source of such inspiration for us at the school but after working with Mich they have now become our bibles.
