Baking Mad is the perfect name for an autumnal baking day hosted by "Cake Boy" Eric Lanard. Famed for his Glamour Puds show on Channel 4, he conducts various baking courses at his cafe/kitchen location in Battersea. A birthday present for me ( yes 40) - and a whole day baking. I was in heaven. A nice bunch of people (one had flown in from Italy) we all baked chocolate, pecan and pumpkin cake, ale fruit loaf (with chocolate ale) and I learnt how to perfect a pear tarte tartin. With wine and a fabulous cooked lunch, this was a baking class with class. Eric didn't just introduce himself then hand over to an assistant. He was with us the whole day, instructing providing tips and was great fun. These courses don't come cheap, but it comes highly recommended. Thanks to Eric and his team for a fantastic day.
