This is a festive, hands-on Buche de Noël (French Christmas Yule log) cooking class where you’ll learn how to make this classic holiday dessert from scratch—complete with a delicate sponge cake, rich filling, and signature “tree bark” styling. In this hands-on class, students will bake and roll sponge cake, prepare a flavorful filling, create their own yule log and ice with frosting/ganache. Students will have the opportunity to decorate with festive touches such as meringue mushrooms and snow-dusted accents. Students take home their beautifully decorated Buche de Noël to share (or save for later!)
