Join LRK Baking Academy

No pressure. No fancy ingredients
Just joyful baking that you'll be proud to share with your family and friends
Do you love baking, but don't always get the results you were expecting?
Even after following a recipe to the letter, you've ended up with sunken middles or craters bursting out the top of your cakes, breads that turned out like bricks, or tarts where the filling leaked out of the base!
It's so frustrating, especially if you don't know why.
Imagine if you could bake scrumptious breads, cakes, pastries & more, armed with an arsenal of skills and the confidence to create great bakes every time.
It is possible!Â
Introducing
LRKÂ Baking Academy
An exciting Baking Membership that will transform the way you bake!
Designed for home bakers of all levels of experience.Â
Whether you're new to baking, hung up your apron a while ago, or you'd like to push your skills to new heights.
LRK Baking Academy will help you bake all kinds of beautiful bakery treats that you'll be proud to show off to your family and friends.Â
No more wasting valuable time and ingredients, or wondering what went wrong.
Ready to throw on your apron?
YES! I'M IN! đ°
What happens when you stop guessing and start understanding baking?
Â
đĄ Youâll feel more confident, more creative, and more excited to try new things, like finally tackling that layered sponge or perfecting your own pie crust recipe, without second-guessing every step
đ Youâll stop wasting ingredients (and money!) on flops, because youâll know how to fix a dough thatâs too sticky, what to do if your cake sinks, and how to adjust recipes to suit your oven or ingredients.
đ Youâll be proud to share your bakes because they look and taste amazing, whether itâs morning tea with friends, birthday cakes for family, or just a treat for yourself that turns out just right.
đŹ And best of all, youâll never have to wonder what went wrong again, because youâll understand the process, not just follow the steps. Every bake becomes a chance to succeed, learn, and grow your skills.
Why is our baking membership different to just following a recipe:
Hereâs the thing: Baking isnât just about following steps - itâs about understanding why those steps matter.
Hi, I'm Sharon from Little River Kitchen and Iâve helped thousands of home bakers get better results by teaching them the unwritten rules of baking.
You know...the ones that aren't obvious in a recipe.
And once you learn them, that knowledge sticks with you, bake after bake.
No more guessing if you're 'doing' it right, no more wondering what went wrong. Â
Our classes are filled the helpful tips and knowledge that you won't find in a recipe. You'll gain the confidence to bake anything and share it proudly so you can finally be the baker youâve always wanted to be.
Linda W. âItâs not just recipes, itâs a network of support from Sharon and her team down to everyone in the Facebook group that encourages and helps you. I would never have tried the star bread or the roulade on my own.
Wow when I think of the things I have made.
I love the support in the Facebook group and the instruction and the videos give you the courage to give it a go, they are easy to follow. Itâs a place to grow as a baker with support and help.â đ
Sue G. "Being a member has taught me so much! I always thought I was an ok baker, but the Academy has pushed me out of my comfort zone to bake things I would never have dared to try!
I love the Live video classes. They feel really personal. If you can't get to the live online classes then you can catch up with the videos in the academy. We are never too old to learn new things and I have certainly learnt a lot since joining and cooked so many yummy things, just ask my grandchildren đ
I love the friendliness of the Academy. Everybody is so helpful and encouraging. Sharon is always there to offer any help and advice we need and help us in our journey to become better bakers. I love being a member of the LRK Academyđ„°"

Maggie Gaye - Member since 2022
âI have to be honest I joined LKR by accident as I saw a post on either Instagram or Facebook for a bootcamp, I thoroughly enjoyed the bootcamp and when my chai cupcakes and raspberry muffins turned out as you said, I was like omg I can bake!
After that bootcamp I joined the Academy on a monthly subscription, did the Christmas Bake-A-Thon and pretty quickly realised I had found a happy place.
This is why I love the classes. When I'm well I watch the live class and itâs just like being in a class room, but when Iâm not having a good day I can watch the replay when I'm ready. I have so much more confidence in my baking that I don't hesitate anymore to bake for friends or family when Iâm told bring a plate.
I made my granddaughters first birthday cake (using the vanilla cake recipe) something I never dreamt of doing for my kids. I love the feeling I get when I learn the smallest of things and I have learnt so many since joining. I also love that I can bake with my granddaughters too.
I am so pleased that I became a member, its honestly the best money I've ever spent. I look forward to this yearâs classes and as I write this email, I can smell the banana chocolate hazelnut cake in the oven.â
