MAKE & TAKE: Bûche de Noël

Create an extraordinary holiday dessert that’s equally beautiful and delicious. In this three-hour class, we’ll teach you how to create Bûche de Noël—a traditional Christmas Yule log cake. You’ll learn to make this intricate cake from scratch. We will demonstrate how to make the sponge cake, then you will get to work making a chocolate-orange buttercream and then learn how to assemble your log. To finish, we’ll make meringue mushrooms and sugared cranberries to decorate your log cake. By the end of class, you’ll go home with a special dessert to bring to your holiday gathering. (Please note, due to time constraints, your sponge cake will be made ahead of time).
