    The Bake School Community

    Since the beginning, the goal of The Bake School has always been to help you become a better baker through learning. On that journey, baking can be challenging and it can be quite hard to find bakers to interact with (to ask questions or share your baking struggles and successes). I created The Bake School Community so that we could learn from each other in a supportive space.

    FAQs

    Why does The Bake School have a community membership?

    I created the space to channel your questions and comments into a place where everybody can benefit from our collective baking questions and answers instead of just a few. I also created the membership to help cover the costs of the website (domains, hosting, newsletters, site development, equipment, and ingredients) and to ensure the website and baking content are always improving.

    Is Janice active in the community?

    Yes! I pop in daily (when I'm not on holiday or travelling) to help and answer any questions, and also to share what I'm working on for the site and some behind-the-scenes looks at the recipes I'm working on.

    Can I cancel?

    If you choose the annual plan, the membership renews annually and you can cancel it so it won't auto-renew next year. Please note that we do not offer refunds mid-year. If you cancel the annual plan, you will not be renewed at the end of your subscription and you will not be charged again.
    If you choose the monthly plan, the membership renews monthly and you can cancel it so it won't renew next month. Please note that we do not offer refunds mid-month. If you cancel the monthly plan, you will not be renewed at the end of your subscription and you will not be charged again.
