Jenkins Bakery trainee Alex Cowell has enjoyed a master-class with one of TV’s Fabulous Baker Brothers.
Alex, 22, won her training day course at the Fabulous Baker Brothers’ Hobbs House Bakery by being successful in a National Association of Master Bakers’
bakery competition at the Bakers’ and Butchers’ Spring Fair at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern.
“It was a great treat for Alex,” said Jenkins Bakery operations director Russell Jenkins. “Not only did she receive the glory of winning a national prize, but she also won the chance to study with guys who are at the top of the profession.”
Alex won first in Malvern for her cupcakes.
Alex said after attending her course at Hobbs House in The Cotswolds – “I really enjoyed myself on the course. It was a good experience and I learned loads of new things. I learned how to make different types of breads, including soda bread, and sour dough. It was also nice to meet Tom Herbert, one of the Fabulous Baker Brothers.”
Alex Cowell is now a member of the ABST – The Bakery Alliance for Students and Trainees.
She is now looking forward to putting her new skills to the test at the Jenkins Bakery HQ in Trostre, Llanelli.
