The day time experience's are held at my beautiful cosy home in Kilcolgan.
I also run some of the experiences at my cafe, Kate's Place, in Oranmore, Orantown centre.
In my home, guests enjoy the homely feel of my Irish kitchen.
In every experience we always discuss the difference between baking bread long ago, compared to nowadays.
I also encourage the use of my fruits and herbs from my garden, where if possible, we avail of seasonal delights.

What To Expect
We will bake fruit, for example lavender, raisons and berry scones (seasonal), and spelt or brown bread. I believe in the hands on experience for my guests - from handling ingredients to kneading dough. It isn't all about the cooking, I share lots of tips from my experience over the years. I love to see the faces full of excitement and joy at the sight of the end product - freshly baked scones and bread. And best of all we have lots of fun. If you're driving from Galway city to Kilcolgan village take the first left after O'Donoghues Bar, you'll get to a T junction after a couple of kilometers, take the left and then take the first right after you drive over the bridge. I'm the last house in this estate and have a purple door.

This is a must-try when in Ireland!

5.00Learning how to make the best scones I had while in Ireland was worth the cost of this experience alone. Add to that the charm of Kate and her husband, their home and garden, and eating the scones and brown bread made this the perfect finale to our 10-day Ireland trip. I could not recommend this experience highly enough!
Amazing experience

5.00My daughter & I had a wonderful time baking with Kate. She is so friendly and hospitable. She has a beautiful home, welcoming kitchen and we made some delicious scones and bread. I will do this again when we come back to visit Ireland.
Yummy treats

5.00Kate is lovely, warm, patient and encouraging. She gives good instructions and steps in to help, if needed. The bonus - you get to eat what you've baked right there! You don't feel rushed to leave. Kate's recipes turn out great and are very delicious! I would do it again.
Lovely, Fun Baking Experience with Kate!

5.00My mom and I had a wonderful time making scones and Irish brown bread at Kate’s beautiful home! Her husband was able to pick us up from the bus stop which was greatly appreciated. Kate makes sure that everyone is included and follows along with instructions. You get to make the best scones and Kate gives you the recipes to take home. I highly recommend her class!
Must Do! Will come again!

5.00This was such a lovely experience and one of my favorite things I did in Galway! Kate could not have been nicer and immediately made us feel so welcome in her beautiful home. Her house was stunning, and we got to enjoy our fresh baked scones afterward in the most marvelous sun room which made the whole experience feel extra special and cozy. We made both scones and bread, and I loved that we got options for what we wanted to mix into our scones. Kate was so patient, helpful, and encouraging throughout the class and made sure everyone’s batches turned out great. I was honestly surprised by how simple she made the process feel once she explained everything. The scones were absolutely incredible. I’m staying at a fancy 5-star hotel this week and their scones are not even 1/10 as good as Kate’s were! I will 100% be making these again as soon as I get home. I’ve already shared this experience with friends who are visiting Galway soon, and when I come back, I will absolutely be booking this again. Highly recommend!
Kate is absolutely...

5.00This experience is done in the home of a baker who owned a coffee shop for years. The lightest and fluffiest scones, I’ve had! It was a fun experience
Lovely Baking Experience!
