Christmas Baking Workshop: Bûche De Noël

Learn to create a French Christmas classic.



5 hours Class size 3 to 5     label £120

La Bûche de Noël is a classic and a tradition at Christmas in France. It’s a stunning and delicious dessert to add to any Christmas table. In this class you will learn how to make your own masterpiece.

You will learn how to make a genoise, ganache, and a range of meringue buttercreams. Using these techniques you will then learn to transform a simple sponge into a beautiful work of art worthy of the ones you see sparkling in French patisserie windows.

The Bûche de Noël, that you make during the class can be frozen, therefore be enjoyed on Christmas day. It does not affect its taste or its texture at all.

This class is hands-on and a creative one to attend. I’ll teach you traditional techniques, and you can let your inner artist run wild when it comes to decoration. At the end of the class, you will be able to take away your own Bûche de Noël to enjoy at home on Christmas day.

This class includes a delicious homemade lunch with a complimentary glass of wine.


What you'll get
  • All ingredients and tools to make a Bûche de Noël to take home with you.
  • Complimentary glass of wine.

My passion for cooking comes from my childhood. I was born on the island of Réunion, a small French colony off the coast of Madagascar. Although my parents moved to France when I was very small, the spirit of the island was very much alive in our home, and especially in our kitchen.

I love introducing a touch of sunshine into my cooking and often add tropical flavours from Réunion to my desserts to give a vibrant twist to the elegant French classics. All the recipes used at Gourmandises Académie are my own, and each one has been developed with time and a lot of love. I’m so happy to have been recognised with three stars in the prestigious Great Taste Awards.

I am excited to share some of these recipes with you and look forward to welcoming you into my home as a student of the Gourmandises Académie.
