About:

Join Blackfriars Restaurant for a Christmas Cake Baking Workshop where you'll create your very own 6” Christmas cake from scratch. Using a mix of dried fruits soaked in brandy, rum, whisky, or sherry, you’ll bring out rich, indulgent flavors that are sure to impress on the big day.

Rooted in history, this festive bake dates back to the Middle Ages when dried fruits became more accessible, and by the 18th century, fruitcakes were reserved for special occasions like Christmas and weddings due to the high cost of ingredients. In this workshop, you'll not only bake a cake but also learn creative twists and variations to personalize your Christmas masterpiece. Plus, you’ll get hands-on decorating experience, icing a pre-made fruitcake base, and leave with two beautifully crafted Christmas cakes just in time for the holidays.

Perfect for home cooks looking to try something new, our relaxed and informative class is designed by expert chefs to build your kitchen confidence and skills. Enjoy a festive evening out, preparing delicious seasonal bakes that you can take home and share.
