We really, really enjoyed this class. Just us 2 which made it more intimate. We were shown how to make the dough from scratch, given a wide selection of designs to choose from and talked through every step of the way. We also had bao buns made for us whilst the dough was rising and they were delicious. Really lovely staff who were so helpful. Looking forward to coming back with friends another time.

I absolutely loved this workshop. The vibe is fun and playful- you can either follow a template or go off script and create your own cute bao bun characters. And the buns themselves are super yummy.

My granddaughter (she is 13) and I have a day of fun each year where it is just the two of us and this year we did the Bao Bun Workshop at classbento as part of that day. The class was very entertaining and the teacher was friendly and made the whole experience fun. We enjoyed ourselves from start to finish and as a bonus had the Bao Buns to take away for dinner. Highly recommend.
