MUMS' BAKING CLUB
A warm, unhurried morning away from the to-do list: apron on, coffee in hand, and something beautiful coming out of the oven. Led by Le Cordon Bleu pastry chef Diana Ogilvie-Forbes, right here in Wimbledon.
Your teacher
Diana Ogilvie-Forbes
Mexican Pastry Chef · Le Cordon Bleu, 2014 · Mum
Originally from Mexico and now based in Wimbledon, Diana is a passionate pastry chef with a love for creating beautiful, delicious bakes that bring people together. She graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in 2014 — a year she still describes as one of the happiest of her life. Shortly after, she stepped into another life-changing role: becoming a mother to her wonderful son.
Combining motherhood with pastry, Diana began selling her creations at monthly market stalls, sharing an ever-changing selection of bakes and bespoke cakes with her local community. Over time she found her true speciality in bespoke biscuits — beautifully crafted pieces for special celebrations, each made with care, attention to detail, and a belief that food can be both delicious and wonderfully personal.
Today Diana also teaches children at her son's former school, St Mary's, encouraging them to appreciate real ingredients, understand where their food comes from, and discover the joy of making real food. She works alongside Chef Dairo Lopez as part of The Foodie Explorers Club team.
What we're planning
We're still shaping the classes — which is exactly why we'd love your input. Here's the direction so far.
Two hours, entirely yours
Daytime sessions timed around the school run, so you can come as you are and still be back for pick-up.
Proper pastry technique
Le Cordon Bleu method broken down into steps that work in a home kitchen, with everything explained as you go.
Good company
Small groups of local mums, coffee on the side, and a box of your own bakes to take home at the end.
