Not only do you have your celebrity baker teaching you, but you also have one of our brilliant Bake With A Legend hosts who will ensure the smooth running of your experience ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves.

If you need any help at any point during the class, you’ll be encouraged to raise your hand and your baker will be virtually joining you in your own kitchen in no time to assist you!

You’ll bake along in tandem with Lottie, learning many tips and tricks a long the way as you perfect all the skills required to make her delicious cake. Lottie will also be on hand to answer your questions, be those about baking or her experiences of being on television.
