Bûche de Noël Decorating Class
Wednesday, December 23rd | 4–6pm | $80 per person

The days leading up to Christmas are for slowing down, getting a little messy in the kitchen, and making something festive to bring to the holiday table. Join Head Pastry Chef Liz Vande Hey and Pastry Assistant Lindsey Toeg for an afternoon of decorating your very own Bûche de Noël, a classic French yule log cake.

We’ll do the baking for you! Each guest starts with a light chocolate chiffon cake, already rolled and filled with rich chocolate mousse. From there, Liz and Lindsey will show you how to turn it into a showstopper: sugaring fresh rosemary and thyme into frosty little evergreens, sparkling cranberries with sugar, making chocolate bark, and using different tools to create realistic bark textures in the ganache. Then it’s your turn, with a whole table of decorations to choose from: tuile cookies, sugared berries and herbs, coconut, hazelnuts, pistachios, chocolate bark, ganache, and snow sugar that won’t melt.

While you decorate, help yourself to a wintery snack spread, a hot tea and hot chocolate bar, and mulled wine. With MMSD on winter break all week, it’s a cozy way to spend an afternoon together before the holiday rush… and you’ll head home with dessert for Christmas already done.

Your ticket includes a pre-rolled chocolate yule log to decorate and take home, hands-on guidance from our pastry team, all decorating supplies, and a festive spread of wintery snacks and warm drinks to enjoy while you work.

Space is limited to 20 guests.
