Teaching
Wafer paper flower
Marianne is passionate about teaching, demonstrating & connecting with others through baking. By sharing her love of baking and helping others to understand the process, she aims to inspire and empower people to get more from their cake journey.
As an experienced and qualified teacher, Marianne is expertly placed to break down all the steps in the baking/decorating process and help the student to achieve their best results. Her enthusiastic and passionate approach is infectious, but she is also methodical in her technique, taking care to explain WHY a recipe needs to be made in a particular way, so that students gain more from the process and can develop their skills in more depth.
Marianne has taught over 3500 students the art of cake and baking in independent cookery schools across the UK and abroad. Accomplished yet flexible, she is used to teaching students in a variety of locations, whether domestic kitchens, hotel venues or purpose-built kitchens. She teaches at a number of schools across the south of England including Anna Cake Couture, Bristol (see links on the right for up to date courses).
