Class Description

Description

This is the Bûche de Noel I’ve been making for family and friends for the past 30 years. The components are simple, but they combine to make a delicious and beautiful whole. The bûche is built from a flourless chocolate cake layer, a light chocolate or praline buttercream and decorated with hand-molded marzipan or fondant holly leaves, holly berries, mushrooms, and pinecones.


All supplies and materials included, classes are hands-on, interactive experiences. So, please dress accordingly. We recommend wearing casual clothing that you won’t mind getting a little sugar on, and flat comfortable shoes.
