Behind Mrs Bun
Mrs Bun the Baker® Moved around a lot when she was young which is maybe where her passion for food came, from loving the Northern Hotpots, Coastal Fish n Chips to learning Macaroni wasn’t just a pudding it was also a cheese dish too! She was also a very inquisitive baker, ever since she could sit on the kitchen table and lick the mixing bowl! Hooked.
She travelled abroad learning much about food and its relationship with cultures. She studied Home Economics, Nutrition and Catering right through school to university, then gained her teaching qualification, spending her next years teaching what she had loved to study.
Marrying Mr Bun, becoming a mum and cookie bun here too. She decided to plunge into running her own cookery school. Mrs Bun the Baker® was established in 2014 and has quickly become an award winning Hands On. Fun, well known Cookery school in Oxfordshire. Winning best new business locally and small business 100 nationally. From young buns to older buns, there is no age limit of when you want to pick up making, baking and cooking. Creating magical moments in the kitchen with her engaging, knowledgeable and fun classes she’ll help you on your way to make nutritious healthy meals for all the family as well as enjoying those sweet treats we like too. They are online and face to face whichever you prefer.
Everyone can build confidence and start their passion for food, which they’ll hopefully take with them on their life’s journey… after all, we all need to feed ourselves! Knowing she cannot always reach you all she has published 2 recipe books containing foolproof recipes from snacks, mains to sweets, meals for the family to enjoy and both children and adult can make them.
When she is not baking, she will be found in the garden, clearing the weeds! Not so green fingered, but she does grow a mountain full of raspberries!
"Thank you so much for your free bake alongs over lockdown. My daughter enjoyed cooking with you so much, Friday afternoon is now baking time! Your recipes were really fun and easy to follow. We’re working through your cook book next! Thanks again."

"Mrs Bun hasn't just taught my sons to chop, crumble and mix, she has given me the confidence to bake with my children at home too. We use her recipes often and we all have fun together when baking"
"We started a few weeks ago doing the facebook lives and our son really enjoyed them so we decided to book him on the Tuesday tea sessions. He was very nervous before his first zoom session but within minutes Mrs Bun had made him feel at ease. She is brilliant at explaining and showing children things which means they can follow her very clearly. Finnan has been so proud of the meals he has cooked for us. Highly recommend. Thankyou Mrs Bun - we will be looking to carry on in some way after this."
"My son and I joined Mrs Bun for some Saturday baking fun. Because of Mrs bun’s caring approach he had a truly amazing hour and can’t wait to go back next week. Thanks so much."
**********
"I've really enjoyed the Mrs Bun classes over the years. Toddler classes for my Daughter then adult classes for myself. I still use the best ever chocolate cake recipe all the time."
************
"Great fun and easy recipes for young and old xxx"
"My daughter has just started these sessions and she’s really enjoying them. She has come home so excited about what she’s cooked and desperate for me to try it. So good for a little girl who is nervous of new food and has been quite a picky eater."
**********
The classes are fun and interactive, my little boy loves coming along and getting involved. He's now such a keen little chef at home, we have the recipe book, which is fantastic, easy recipes to follow and great meals for the whole family!!
