Online Sessions

Welcome to our Online Sessions. These were born out of necessity since we were no longer able to bring you all to our test bakery for 'real life' seminars. However we do think they are a useful resource even in conjunction with face to face seminars, as it means we can run them more frequently. We hope you enjoy these sessions and we plan to continue to create these on a regular basis.

Session 3: Easter Ideas

This Easter Ideas Online Session offers some fun and simple Easter product inspiration. Finbar introduces 18 new product ideas and shows the making of two of these in short 'How-To' videos. Molly O'Kane, talks us through current trends for Easter products. This time we have divided the session up into smaller bite-sized videos so you can nip in and out if you don't have time to watch the whole session. Please feel free to send us any feedback you have on these sessions and suggestions for possible future themes.
