Baker, Paul Benson will be showing off his talented baking skills in a demonstration at SHU Fest on Tuesday 1 March.<\/p>\n

SHU staff member Paul, has been a keen baker ever since he was a small boy after watching his mum on baking days, encouraging him to try it out for himself.<\/p>\n

With the rise in popularity in baking ever since The Great British Bake Off aired, Paul explained that people are getting a real sense of achievement from baking themselves. He said: \u201cThe pleasure is in the doing, seeing the end result and filling your home with a beautiful aroma.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul took his love of baking even further last year, when he started making wedding cakes for loved up couples. He said: \u201cIt was a real test of what I had learned and practised over the years. It was a challenging project, but very rewarding when I handed over the finished cake. It was a great feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

With years of experience under his belt, Paul still has the occasional disaster occur in the kitchen, ones which he hopes don\u2019t happen on demonstration day! He said: \u201cIt\u2019s all part of the learning experience. Many bakers who have been baking for many years still drop the occasional clanger; it\u2019s what keeps you sharp. Never give up, just keep on baking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul will be sharing his special recipes for shortbread and ginger biscuits, for all those attending the baking demonstration, which may even include a taster of the sweet treats.<\/p>\n

The event will be held at: Kitchen, level 12, Owen Building at 12-1.30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
