Bake That is an interactive baking team building activity where colleagues work together to tackle three baking challenges. Each team receives a dedicated cook station, mini oven, and recipe cards, before getting stuck into biscuits, French macarons, and Victoria sponges.

Our expert chefs provide helpful advice, techniques, and encouragement along the way, making this an enjoyable experience for keen bakers and complete beginners alike.

Our bake off team building experience divides guests into teams before putting their baking, communication, and creative skills to the test. Teams work through three different challenges, using the equipment and ingredients provided.

The experience can be competitive, with judging, and a prize for the winning team, or run collaboratively for groups that prefer a more laid-back occasion.

There are three delicious challenges to master during this baking team building activity:

The Signature Bake involves creating shortbread, ginger snaps, or chocolate chip cookies.

Next comes the Technical Challenge, where teams attempt delicate French macarons filled with buttercream or ganache.

Finally, the Showstopper challenges teams to decorate Victoria sponges using icing, handmade decorations, and sugar craft skills.

No prior baking experience is required to enjoy this challenge. Bake That has been created to be accessible, entertaining, and rewarding, whatever our guests’ familiarity with baking.

Our expert chefs will be available with tips, advice, and technical help throughout the bake off team building activity. That means beginners can get involved confidently, while experienced bakers still have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate their skills.

The baking team building activity typically lasts between two and three hours. This provides plenty of time to complete the challenges, get creative with decorations, and enjoy the all-important finale.

Our team will also require access to the indoor event space for approximately two hours beforehand to prepare the equipment and cooking stations.

Bake That is suitable for groups of 5 to 100 guests, making it a flexible choice for everything from smaller teams to large company events.

The ideal number will depend on your objectives and venue, but our bake off team building format is designed to keep everyone involved. Teams can share responsibilities, exchange ideas, and work together towards their baking masterpiece.

Friendly competition is one of the ingredients that makes this baking team building activity so entertaining. Teams can go head-to-head across the challenges before displaying their creations for judging.

Fun prizes can be awarded to the winners, providing an extra incentive to perfect those macarons and create a showstopping sponge.

At Firebird Events, we’ll provide the equipment needed to get everyone baking, including mobile cookers, cooking utensils, ingredients, recipe cards, cake decorating equipment, and sugar crafting tools.

Our package also includes serving trays, cake stands, aprons, gloves, table covers, team packs, stationery, props, costumes, fun prizes, plus bags and ribbons so guests can take the treats they make home.

Our event manager and first aid and food hygiene-trained staff help everything run smoothly.

This baking team building activity requires a suitable indoor space, along with tables for each team and additional trestle tables for our equipment. Access to a kitchen for washing up is also desirable.

Our ovens are rated at 1,500 watts and require six amps of power each. Four ovens can operate from standard room sockets, while larger arrangements may require 32- or 63-amp three-phase power.

Our team can check the requirements directly with your venue where necessary.
