Scones, Teacakes, and Cookies...Oh My!

I got the kindest birthday gift to try out Betty's Cookery School.  You  may remember that Betty's has the world-famous tea in town and a fancy bakery and cooking school outside of town.  They have an amazing array of classes - from fancy entertaining courses to baking classes!  We selected an awesome baking class that included a full day of baking a chocolate raspberry cake, teacup cookies (aka biscuits), and sultana scones with rhubarb / ginger compote.  The entire day was also filled with a Betty's teas, snacks, and lunch.  There were just 12 in the class with two instructors, so we all got lots of hands-on instruction.  It was an amazing, posh, and informative day (if a bit calorie laden!) .

Here are snaps from today:

A happy welcome onto campus!
