One of the best experiences in Dublin - Our experience with learning to bake scones and apple cake exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed into Emily's home with coffee, tea and brown bread where we were able to meet the other guests and get acquainted with Emily. My wife and I had a wonderful time. We would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about down home Irish traditions.

Great experience - This was one of the best experiences we had in Ireland. Not only did we make amazing scones and apple cake but Emily was so inviting. She answered all of our questions and made us feel welcomed with our little 5 month old. It was a great time. Definitely recommend.

Old style baking and the warmth of the Irish - Emily was so amazing. To be welcomed into her home was a delight. The location was easy to find. We were greeted with freshly baked Irish brown bread and a lot of Irish tea. The house smelled heavenly. I do bake a lot, but learned some tips and techniques from Emily because the class is very hands-on. The scones were light and fluffy and the apple cake was so flavorful! She sells her cookbook at a reasonable price. The recipes are simple and easy to follow. I made Guinness stew that my co-travellers raved about for days. Make the investment in time to attend her class. Plus she has lots of Ireland ideas. Emily - thanks for the tips on Achill. We had the best time on the island. It's a place we wouldn't have found without your suggestion.

Baking with a new friend in an Irish home - It took a decent amount of time to search and find a baking class in Dublin. I finally came across the baking class with Emily and I sure am glad that I did! Communication was really easy beforehand and my requests were easily accommodated. I was warmly greeted by Emily at her lovely home and quickly sat down to brown bread fresh out of the oven and a hot cup of tea. I instantly felt like Emily was a friend. She was so easy to talk and laugh with and I could not believe how quickly the hours passed! We made apple scones with apples picked from her tree that morning and Granny’s Apple Cake. Both were delish! And I certainly enjoyed the leftovers I took back to my hotel. I spent a busy week in Dublin and this experience was my favourite! If you love baking, chatting, and want to do something non-touristy, then this experience with Emily is for you!

Amazing experience! - What an absolute wonderful experience! Emily and her family are a delight, their home is beautiful and the scones and cake were divine. We really enjoyed learning to make everything and loved eating it even more. We also greatly appreciated the conversation with Emily and hearing the perspectives of a local resident. The time we spent with Emily was certainly a highlight of our trip to Ireland!

A Must! - Absolute lovely morning baking with Emily. Very gracious and welcoming host. Started off with a cup of tea and warm homemade soda bread. Next up was making scones and a delicious Irish apple cake (my new favorite). This was definitely an experience that I would recommend to anyone interested in learning to bake some traditional recipes. Thank you Emily!

Amazing! Book this! - Emily was a great host. She was very patient and friendly. She taught us a lot about Irish culture and food. She was very accommodating and had tea / coffee and brown bread for us when we arrived. The recipes we made were delicious! We are going to make these for our families at home. We were also able to purchase a cookbook with more recipes to try. We got to take the food with us as well. I would highly recommend attending this class!
