Baking & cooking

Rolling up our sleeves in the kitchen to bake, decorate and taste-test.

About this activity

Baking is one of the activities people enjoy at Hope Lea. In our kitchen, people measure, mix, bake and decorate together, from chocolate swirl muffins to treats dipped in chocolate.

People take part in whatever way suits them, whether that's stirring, decorating or choosing what to make. The results are shared with friends, and are usually delicious.
