Learning key decorative cake skills at Bishop Auckland College’s ‘have a go’ workshops

Bishop Auckland College were delighted to offer
‘have a go’ workshops at this year’s Food Festival.

Participants joined our chef lecturer Elizabeth MacIntyre, who led sessions at Bishop Auckland Town Hall on both days.

We had three different workshops showing you how to impress your friends and family as you create cakes that look like flowers, allotments and pigs in mud!
