Feeling festive? Want to really get into the Christmas spirit? Prepare to impress your family and friends this holiday season with this classic Christmas cake making the perfect centerpiece for your festive table.
In this fun and interactive seasonal class, our experienced Pastry Chef Instructor will guide you step-by-step through how to perfect the traditional Buche de Noel! This Yule log cake is a traditional dessert generally served near Christmas time in Europe, the UK and the US. Made of sponge cake to resemble a miniature Yule log, it is a form of sweet roulade. You will learn the technical process of balancing ingredients, making a sponge cake, proofing, baking, filling, rolling and decorating.
You'll have the opportunity to interact with Chef Michele throughout the class and ask questions along the way. You will receive an email with the equipment and ingredients list. However, the main ingredients required to participate along with the chef in your own kitchen include: eggs, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose or cake flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and butter. An electronic hand mixer is recommended for this class.
