Join Niki Behjou, from multi-award-winning nikibakes for a hands-on baking class celebrating the beautiful flavours of Persian baking, with everything completely gluten-free.

In this two-hour class, you’ll learn how to make fragrant, light and beautifully spiced Persian Yazdi Cakes using a gluten-free recipe. Niki will guide you through the process step by step, sharing her tips for getting the perfect bake, along with two delicious icing options to finish your cakes.

There’s more to this class than baking, too. You’ll enjoy a Persian tea demonstration and tasting, discovering a little about the traditions and rituals behind this much-loved part of Persian culture.

You’ll leave with your own freshly baked Yazdi Cake, new skills to try at home and plenty of inspiration to bring a little Persian flavour into your own kitchen.

No previous baking experience is needed – just come along, get hands-on and enjoy a delicious taste of something different!

Refreshments on arrival and available throughout the class
Apron and all of the equipment required for the session
A recipe for you to take home after your class
All ingredients provided and weighed out in advance for you
Your delicious baked CAKE, to take home after the class AND a nikibakes GOODIE BAG, to take home after the class!

About Niki

Niki is a multi-award-winning gluten-free baker and the founder of nikibakes - a much-loved gluten-free bakery stall based in leafy Surrey.

With 18 years of experience as a recipe writer and a lifelong passion for baking, Niki specialises in creating gluten-free bakes that never feel like a compromise - gold medal indulgent brownies and blondies to celebration cakes, Persian and Turkish-inspired bakes and bakery classics.

Her approach is simple: great baking should be delicious first, with gluten-free being an added benefit rather than something you have to miss out on.

Alongside nikibakes, Niki creates bespoke bakes for private and corporate orders and champions local, independent and sustainable food businesses through hosting events and supper clubs across Surrey and London.

You will be learning in a beautifully designed kitchen which provides a warm welcoming environment that can accommodate everything from group cookery classes to intimate chef’s tables, with the versatility to suit everyone.

Our partners have been chosen with great care, as all our equipment must stand up to the day-to-day rigours of our cookery school – much like a professional kitchen, that you can enjoy using whilst creating your own amazing dishes in class to give you the best possible experience when cooking with us.

Our classes and outstanding range of teachers will help you hone your gastronomic skills, even if you are a complete novice or a dab hand in the kitchen. We love highlighting new upcoming food trends and championing the rising stars within the culinary world.
