Miel Bakery

Groups and cake decorating enthusiasts will find Miel Bakery's London workshops particularly appealing, with intermediate-level classes that blend technical precision with creative flair across Biscuits & Cookies, Cake Decorating, Chocolate Making, Patisserie, and Sourdough categories. The school offers a distinctive mix of European pastry techniques and Japanese-inspired desserts. Their signature Japanese Chiffon Sando Cake workshop teaches students to infuse Earl Grey tea into delicate chiffon batter and master the cloud-like texture that defines this elegant sandwich cake. Each participant creates 8 pieces of their own Earl Grey creation filled with fresh cream and summer fruits, plus takes home the chiffon tin for future baking. Traditional French techniques feature prominently in the Kouign Amann class, where students learn hand lamination from scratch, creating their own dough and butter blocks to achieve the Breton pastry's characteristic caramelised layers. The Cinnamon Buns and Chocolate Chip Sablé workshop combines yeasted brioche techniques with cookie making, covering the window-pane test, optimal proofing methods, and temperature control whilst baking. Students leave with finished buns and cookies plus extra dough for home baking. Chocolate work reaches artisan level in the truffle-making class, where three different ganache styles are explored: single origin water ganache, classic cream ganache, and caramel ganache. Students learn proper chocolate tempering before rolling, coating, and decorating their own selection box. The Super Fancy Blueberry & Lemon Cake workshop spans five hours and includes lunch, teaching basketweave buttercream piping, Swiss meringue preparation, and professional stacking techniques for a fully decorated celebration cake. Classes run from £130, making this school ideal for bakers seeking restaurant-quality techniques in a hands-on environment.
