Set in the market town of Cullompton in the heart of Devon's countryside, Devon Cookery School operates from a purpose-built teaching kitchen where students master everything from artisan breads to delicate French pastries. The school's comprehensive programme spans eleven baking categories, offering classes for complete beginners through to experienced home bakers, with dedicated sessions for children aged 8-15.
The curriculum covers both traditional British baking and international techniques. In the Sweet Treats class, students learn to make moist carrot cake with cream cheese frosting alongside soft chocolate chip cookies and fluffy blueberry muffins, taking home all their bakes in provided boxes. The artisan bread programme includes classics like focaccia, granary rolls and fougasse, as well as more adventurous options such as tiger bread with its distinctive cracked crust and pesto plaits. International offerings extend to Bao Buns and Beyond, where students master Taiwanese street food techniques, creating soft steamed bao buns and crispy-bottomed Shen Jian Bao using bamboo steamers.
Specialist workshops explore deeper into technique-focused areas. The Macaron Magic session provides hands-on guidance for achieving bakery-standard results, whilst chocolate classes range from basic moulding and decorating to advanced gourmet creations with fondants and mousses. Children's classes maintain the same hands-on approach, with young bakers learning to make doughnuts from mixing dough through to creative decorating, or crafting chocolate Swiss rolls and moulded chocolate coins.
Sessions typically run for 3.5 hours from £89, with shorter children's classes from £50 and specialist workshops reaching £185. The school accommodates various dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options across most classes, making it suitable for bakers with different needs and skill levels.
