Overview
This spring, Nikki and Oona from Oona’s Cakes will be running a weekend baking course on board Bessie Ellen whilst she is moored in Charlestown Harbour. So, if you are keen for a Cornish getaway come on down and get baking with us!
Course tuition will include:
Sourdough Rye
Basic white dough mix for bread and pizza
Shortbread biscuits
Drying, pressing and sugaring edible flowers
Making piping bags using baking paper
Basic never fail cake recipe
Accommodation will be provided on board but if you would prefer a more private option then we can highly recommend The Pier House Hotel just a short stroll away and not too pricey. Please note, rooms here are not included in the price of your course. Breakfast, lunch and Saturday dinner is all included.
We apologies but the course is not suitable for Coeliac or Gluten free diets.
After each day’s demo’s and activities, there will be time for walks along the Cornish coast at your leisure.
Voyage Description
Bessie Ellen will be moored in Charlestown Harbour for the weekend so this weekend break does not involve any sailing.
Wildlife
As Bessie Ellen will be moored in the harbour the chances of sighting wildlife are reduced. However, the Cornish coast is home to fantastic bird and marine life so, keep eyes peeled, you never know if a friendly seal might pop up to say hello!
