Hi, I’m Caroline
I’m Caroline Bailey, the founder, award winning wedding cake designer and life and soul behind Hunkington House Kitchen.
My baking love started at an early age, all thanks to my amazing Mum and Nan, who were fantastic in the kitchen, always creating something delicious. Learning from them at an early age sparked a passion that has led me on a long path to where I am now.
This baking journey has been full of excitement from baking with John Whaite, cooking with Monica Galetti, achieving third place in the Great Shropshire Bake Off and also getting through to the final 70 applicants for the Great British Bake Off. Even though I didn’t get selected for the show it gave me the confidence and drive to pursue my dream career in baking.
Having spent years perfecting my baking skills attending classes, creating the most amazing cakes for weddings and other special occasions I have taken my love and passion, helping people to create and bake deliciousness, through fun interactive experiences.
The dream baking experience for me is where people feel at ease, it’s interactive and you get to learn in a fun and engaging way. So in a nutshell that’s what I deliver.
It is the best job to have when you get to see first hand how proud people are of their creations and their very own baking delights, even the ones who started nervous. My aim is to create a memorable experience for everyone to enjoy and I want my classes to ooze that specialness too.
Yes I’m a little bit obsessed with all the baking delights you can create yourself, so if I can spark memories to treasure, just like the ones I hold dearly then I’m doing it right! Whether it’s an experience for a public class, a private group or 1-2-1, the baking fun is waiting to be explored.
Teresa says …
I’ve not done a lot of baking, but when I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease and discovered that all the gluten free bread I tried was awful I thought I would have a go at making my own!
This is obviously not something I was willing to have a go at alone. So I was over the moon when Caroline offered a Gluten free baking class.
It was not only really clear and simple to follow (Caroline is a great and patient teacher) it was so much fun! Who knew baking over zoom would be that much fun. We had the best time and the bread!!!!! OMG its the best gluten free bread I have ever eaten and at last I can enjoy the taste of fresh bread again. Thank you Caroline. Teresa Heath-Wareing
Let’s Bake!
