Room Forty launches new season of bread baking classes
Iâve not made macarons for sooo long that I may have to relearn the technique! Patience I remember being the hardest skill. To be honest, Iâm not the biggest fan of them which is probably why they donât get made often.
Do you like them?
Our list of bread making workshops up to March 2025 are online now, including another meditation and mindful baking class in Liverpool as the first sold out very quickly!!!! We begin at the end of this month in Lymm making our Italian breads. We know from experience that they make great gifts and date nights too! If you ever want a gift voucher just contact me direct!
Mum popped in to try the new crockery out, (thanks Jane!) and to see how that ginger cake was fairing. Turns out the pot doesnât drip and the tea tastes delicious from the delicate Royal Albert âLady Hamiltonâ cups. Itâs not a pattern Iâve had before either, which is lovely as Iâm such a geek! The ginger cake is delicious, and will improve over time - if we can keep our hands off it. Welsh cakes left over from our last bread making class, stored well in the freezer⊠yum!!!

Genius
Who loves ginger cake?
Vegan ginger cake by nigella fresh out of the oven, it will mature over the next few days to become truly sticky and delicious!
One thing I do love about autumn is the change of the flavours and my mood for a different type of food. This Sunday I have two vegans at our afternoon tea, so I am looking forward to making them this sticky gingerbread recipe. You wouldn't actually notice that there is no eggs or butter in it, just full of warming spices and deliciousness.
Maybe some apple pie and custard too?
I am not quite ready for soups and broths, as I am hopeful that the sunshine will put in an appearance, but the sweet stuff is welcome any time of day.
Our third cake for Sunday is actually fruit skewers, perfect for vegans and just a lovely way to finish an unctuous meal.

Very chuffed to be featured in the Cheshire Golden Triangle Magazine. We like their tag 'At home, at work, at your convenience'. And we are! It's a good magazine and a great read, pick a copy up if you see one!
Anyone else at Happy Place festival today in Tatton? Itâs such a great day!
September begins tomorrow and itâs looking like a busy one for Room Forty. This weekend though, itâs all about family and this 7.5 mile walk at dovestones reservoir was absolutely lovely in the sunshine đ.
Being asked to cater for someone's wedding is an incredibly special, and quite frankly scary thing to do! This couple were so keen to get things right, they'd visited several companies for tastings, and decided that we were definitely for them - I think the scones clinched it!
They loved the taster menu so much that's what they wanted for their big day, so it was chocolate mud cake, Victoria sponge with fresh strawberries and pavlovas with blueberry compote.
All the guests loved our crockery and the event was fuss free, with lots of loose leaf tea, and prosecco.
We don't just cater for large weddings, we can do smaller events in your home, baby showers, friends getting together, Christmas parties and even funerals - and we put the same standard of care into every single one.
If you would like to find out more drop us an email with a proposed date and I'll send over our info pack.
Our posters are going up around Penketh and sankey to advertise our bread making classes. Where else do you think we can advertise them so no one misses the opportunity to join us?
Our bread making classes are a great evening out - they're even a perfect date night (so we've been told!)
If you are interested in learning the skills so you never need to buy another highly processed loaf, or order another over priced pizza we've got you covered in these classes.
Book online today or send me a question - we'd be happy to help!
Penketh and Lymm events are now available to book online without any booking fees!
If you would like to know more about any of them please drop me a line, or visit our website to book your place.
Have fun, we do!
Ever wondered what we do? This fabulous write up says it all! Thank you Warrington Guardian!!

Hmm, here's one fresh out of our oven. Perhaps you should come on one of our classes for a refresher Paul?

Celebrating long service today over in Holmes Chapel. A lovely company with a great ethos for supporting its staff, and no one had to leave the office and traipse across town as we brought the full afternoon tea service to their canteen! Those chaps absolutely loved their loose leaf đ«! #longserviceaward #teamcelebration #holmeschapel #afternoontea #hightea #staffreward #employeeengagement #corporateevents #cheshire
This time last week I was on my way to carfest for 4 (rather windy) days of fun, food and music. I got to see Angela Hartnett, Rosemary Shrager and meet the happy pear twins, who are definitely giddy fun! Itâs such a lovely atmosphere! but I am gutted itâs no longer a separate north and south event as it is a few hours drive away! Have you ever been? What did you like about it? @carfestbuddies @angelacooking @rosemary.shrager @thehappypear
At 16 sheâs already a confident baker. This was her first attempt at meringue kisses recently. Cracking job Soph!
