Over 60 ladies quickly took their places for a thoroughly enjoyable evening with Ben Frazer, contestant from the Great British Bake Off. Ben's passion for cooking shone through as he showed us how to make macarons, and told his story of how he came to be on the Great British Bake Off. Baking tips were in abundance as we also learnt how to make bread rolls crispy, how to make a ganache, how to fill a piping bag and what bakeware we should use. He also generously donated some beautiful cupcakes which soon disappeared amongst our eager crowd. Have a look at Ben's website at his blog for recipe ideas and courses www.cupcakeartisan.co.uk
