**This class is FULL with 2 on the waitlist. To be added to the waitlist, please Message us or email Tiffiny at [email protected]**The Christmas season is celebrated by many countries around the world - with all of them having their own, unique traditions!
Come join us as we venture into preparing, baking, and decorating a common French Christmastime Dessert – the Bûche De Noël!
This cake is designed to look like a Yule Log, reflecting the French tradition of burning a large Yule Log during winter solstice to bring good luck.
Students will be measuring and mixing ingredients to make a thin chocolate cake and a whipped cream filling. After they have rolled their cake, students will use chocolate buttercream, meringue mushrooms, cranberries and fresh evergreen to decorate their log! Additionally, students will explore different French Christmas traditions with an activity in the class.
