'Make a Bake'. A new monthly baking group. Starts 18th August. East Dulwich.


Recommended Posts

Let's start an East Dulwich baking group! Myself and Tash want to start a group that meets monthly to taste each others delicious baked goods whilst enjoying a drink and chat! This is not about competition (or we'd have called the group 'The Great Dulwich Bake Off'!), it's just a relaxed way to try and share ideas with fellow amateur bakers.


I will hold the first one at my house and then hopefully others could host. The premise is simple, bring along something you've baked! For the first one there will be no theme, bring along anything you like. In the following months we might have themes e.g. tarts, biscuits, cakes, bread etc.


It will be held on the third Tuesday of each month starting on 18th August at 7:45/8pm.


Please PM me if you are interested.


Looking forward to meeting fellow bakers:-)

Dear Holly and Tash,


This sounds like a great idea! I'm sure there are lots of keen bakers lurking in ED - especially given the plethora of Kitchen shops on Lordship lane! I'm all for sharing recipes and baking tips = can we persuade others to join?

Hope you can make it, let me know if so and I'll PM you the details. I hadn't thought about leftovers! Take it home or to work I guess. And it doesn't have to be cake for baking, it can be pies, biscuits, bread, tarts etc. It would be nice to have variety :-)


Hope to see you on the 18th.

Hello fellow bakers!


The first meeting on 18th August is almost here! Hope you've managed to decide what to bake:-)


If I've forgotten to give anyone my phone number and address please let me know and I'll private message you. We'll meet from 7:30 with a view to start at 8. I'll have tea and coffee but feel free to bring wine etc.


At the first meeting we can discuss future meetings, locations, format etc.


Can't wait to meet you all and taste your baking!


Holly

Thanks Holly. I already registered my interest when I first saw this. I just wanted to check everything was still on. Having read the other messages, I am starting to think perhaps I might do a savoury. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Janet

Hello :-)


Thank you so much to everyone who came along tonight for our first session! It was great fun and I think it's fair to say we're all pretty full! I'll post again in the next few days with the plan for the next few sessions, dates, themes etc.


In the meantime if anyone would like to share their recipes from tonight, please do so!


Holly xx

    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉 
    • Chains moving in is a sure sign that LL is heading for a fall. They are parasites, waiting for the independents to be successful and then, in partnership with rapacious landlords, they move in and force out those very businesses who have created the market they then seek to exploit. They replace a lively diversity with a bland and predictable offering. Then, when a downturn arrives, they move out, leaving boarded up premises and charity shops. Independent businesses who have worked hard to make a success of their efforts will try to see out hard times as they’ve invested so much. Chains look only at the bottom line and think nothing of closing branches. Chains are liable also to expand too fast, be managed badly and then collapse. Think of Brick House being forced out by Gail’s, the closure of White Stuff (although that chain was replaced by another) and JoJo Maman Bebe. . Sadly, I fear that will be the future of LL. 
    • It’s the impact the festival has on the community, the people living next door to the park who have to endure the thumping music and worse. Then there’s the park and the state it’s left in and the wildlife, especially nesting birds. All the roads going down Denmark Hill towards the park were closed off and roads off half moon lane and going up towards West Norwood closed off with wardens at each end, who were paid by Lambeth Council to stand there for the 4 days.  The festival made the news channels and interviews suggested most of the people attending weren’t fron the local area but places like Ireland and Scotland.  I live a 20 minute walk from the park and could hear the thumping music all day and night. Also the wind certainly carried the smell of drugs to my garden! For 4 days I couldn’t believe how strong it was. 
    • Emirates Stadium is  >60,00 but they tend to be very quiet 🙂 Jokes aside though, it's a case in point. Highbury was <40,000 and was 300M up the road, so there are definitely Islington residents who used to live half a mile from a fairly big football stadium, and now live right by a massive one. One that holds rock/pop concerts too accomodating 70,000 fans whether they like ot or not.   40% of Islington households are in social housing so regardless of when they moved their current homes, they may have had little say in exactly where they are housed.
