Festive Baking - Chocolates, Decorations, Monkeybread Evening 9th December

This is a cosy evening of festive creation! Coupled with this… you will end up with lots of delicious items you can pass on as a gift, share as a meal with friends and hang up as decoration.

Enjoy as you learn, to create a selection of treats and baked items, for multiple uses, which you take home at the end of the evening. All equipment and ingredients as well as supper, facilities and parking is included. You need bring nothing.

You will make a tear and share garlic and herb monkey bread, some pastry cheese twists which are super for Christmas entertaining, plus you’ll bake some creatively shaped ginger snap Christmas tree decorations, as well as a very special bag of gorgeous luxury chocolate truffles which we will package, label and tie with string so that you can gift them to a friend or loved one for Christmas. You will also receive these recipes in a booklet.

All of this takes place in the bakery which is a warm, relaxed and friendly environment with full guidance and demonstration, by Alice, along with a glass of wine (healthy soft drink choices also available), and a delicious festive smorgasbord of various foods will be laid out for you to keep you going throughout the evening.

The idea is that you learn to create these items using our quality ingredients, enjoy yourself, and find the whole evening fun whilst retaining the knowledge to be able to continue to do this afterwards. All of this with full guidance and attention, whilst we hope that you ask lots and lots of questions along the way. .

These intimate classes are ideal for individuals, groups of 4 friends, as a soiree, or for corporate small team building. (Please ask if you would like to bring more than 4 people as we will be able to hire a local venue suitable for this.)

You will be creating, and taking home:-

1. Tear and Share Garlic monkey bread

2. Ginger snap tree decorations to hang on their candy cane string

3. Pastry cheese twists for parties (you can freeze these for future use if you need to)

4. Chocolate truffles (perfect as a gift)
   

 It takes place in the bakery which you may have seen on your Saturday visits, so cosy and intimate!

I will demonstrate everything first in any case and also assist. There is no pressure! It is all meant to be fun!

Be prepared to get stuck in... you will be weighing, rolling, lifting as well as working with a hot oven, involving handling hot pans, boiling water, and sharp knives.

Wear something that you don't mind getting floury, chocolatey and doughy! And be able to roll up your sleeves, and be comfortable. Don't worry about your clothing too much or a pinny; it's relaxed.

Alongside the baking experience there will be a selection of food choices as a festive grazing buffet. We hope that we please everybody, examples include antipasti such as olives, pate, hummus, a selection of cheeses, sauerkraut of course!, parma ham, grapes. Gluten free won't be something that we are able to provide on this day unfortunately, as wheat is going to be all around us at all times.

NOTE: Please be advised that within 30 days of the workshop we cannot cancel a reserved place and give a refund however we will either be able to move you to another date or attempt to re-sell your place should you need us to, and if successful, we will refund you.
