School Workshops and Demonstrations

Lachlan teaching a class

Engage your students in a delightful culinary experience with our American-style sweet pie workshops and demonstrations, led by Adelaide’s own Pie Guy, Lachlan Mackay of Proof of Pie. With over 17 years of teaching experience as a high-school teacher in South Australia, Lachlan brings his expertise and passion for baking to your classroom.

“Seeing and hearing Lachlan’s pie expertise in action through our school Masterclass was inspiring and worth every second both for our students and teachers. It was wonderful to hear his knowledge brought from his trips overseas and the passion and love shown when developing his award-winning pies. The dessert pies were exceptionally delicious, and our students are looking forward to taking these tips into their own pie creations.” – Elise Moyle, Temple Christian College
