OFFLINE EGGLESS BAKING 101

BAKING 101 WITH CHEF POOJA

Your Baking Journey Starts Here!

15 Recipes | 2 Power-Packed Days | 100% Eggless | Semi-Hands-On

21st & 22nd November 2026 | Studio L&F, Mumbai

Always wanted to learn baking but didn’t know where to begin?

Or perhaps you’ve tried a few recipes at home, but still struggle to understand what went wrong, how to get consistent results or how to give your bakes that perfect professional finish?

Baking 101 is designed to change that!

Join Chef Pooja Ganeriwala for two intensive, power-packed days of baking, learning and hands-on practice, designed to help you build a strong foundation in the art and science of baking.

From cakes, cookies and brownies to cheesecakes, fillings, frostings and desserts, you’ll explore 15 delicious recipes while learning the essential techniques behind them.

And this isn’t a class where you’ll simply sit and watch!

You’ll get your hands into batters, doughs, fillings, frostings and more. You’ll practise cake layering, filling, frosting and finishing, including working on two complete bento cakes of your own!

Along the way, we’ll cover the science behind baking, troubleshooting, ingredient selection, storage, professional finishing, packaging and pricing.

Our goal? To give you the skills and confidence to walk into your kitchen and feel ready to bake almost anything!

Whether you’re baking for your family, exploring a new hobby or planning to start taking orders, this workshop is the perfect place to begin.

No prior baking experience required!

WHAT’S ON THE MENU?

15 Delicious, 100% Eggless Recipes Across 7 Categories!

The complete menu will be covered over the two days, with selected components also supported by pre-recorded videos.

15 Recipes. Countless Possibilities.

These 15 recipes are just the starting point!

Each recipe has been carefully selected to introduce you to different baking methods, textures, techniques and essential components.

We’ll help you understand the foundations behind each one, so you can confidently experiment with flavours, create your own variations and develop a much wider range of products.

Because once you understand the technique, you’re no longer limited to the recipe!

LEARN THE FOUNDATIONS BEHIND THE RECIPES

A recipe tells you what to add. Understanding the process helps you recognise what’s happening in your bowl and oven — and what to do when something doesn’t go as expected.

Over two days, we’ll cover:

• Ingredients & Their Functions: Understand the role of different ingredients, choosing suitable equipment and discussing substitutions.
• Measuring & Mixing Techniques: Learn how different mixing methods influence texture, structure and consistency.
• Ovens & Baking Temperatures: Understand oven settings, temperature control, baking times and how to recognise when a product is perfectly baked.
• Baking Science & Troubleshooting: Discover why cakes sink, brownies turn cakey, cookies spread and other common baking problems occur — and how to avoid them.
• Sponges, Fillings & Frostings: Learn the foundations of sponge preparation, ganaches, compotes, creams and frostings used across different desserts.
• Storage & Shelf Life: Understand how to store different products, maintain freshness and plan your baking in advance.
• Professional Presentation & Business Basics: Learn practical techniques for finishing, packaging, costing, pricing and preparing products for sale.

You’ll have opportunities to ask questions throughout, so you can connect the techniques you see with the recipes you’ll practise at home.

GET READY TO ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES!

Two Days of Watching, Learning, Practising & Creating!

Baking 101 is designed to give you extensive practical experience, not just demonstrations.

You’ll work alongside Chef Pooja and her team in small groups, participating in different stages of preparation across the menu.

From mixing batters and cookie doughs to preparing sponges, compotes, fillings, frostings and assembling desserts, you’ll get opportunities to practise the techniques you’re learning.

• Preparing and handling cake sponges
• Levelling, layering and filling cakes
• Working with ganaches, frostings and different fillings
• Crumb coating and frosting techniques
• Smoothing, decorating and professional finishing

LEARN WITH CHEF POOJA GANERIWALA

Founder of Love & Flour by Pooja, Chef Pooja is an award-winning baker, educator and mentor to thousands of bakers across India and around the world.

Known for her practical, 100% eggless recipes and detailed teaching approach, she believes that good baking comes from understanding techniques, not simply memorising recipes.

Baking 101 brings that philosophy into an intimate studio setting, where you can learn, practise, make mistakes, ask questions and grow in confidence.

YOUR LEARNING DOESN’T END AFTER TWO DAYS!

Once you’re back in your own kitchen, we’re still here to help.

You’ll receive one year of access to a dedicated WhatsApp support group, where you can ask workshop-related questions, clarify techniques and troubleshoot your bakes.

Along with your printed recipe booklet and selected component videos, this support will help you continue practising and building confidence long after the workshop ends.

1. I’ve never baked before. Will I be able to keep up?
