Join the brilliant Dan Beasley Harling (GBBO, series 9) live from London Dan will teach you the skills you need to nail his beautiful Kransekake Christmas Tree.

Kransekake is a Scandinavian dish, often eaten at Christmas, who's name translates to 'wreath cake.' We're taking it one step further and making this festive favourite into a 3D Christmas Tree and Dan will also show you how to make some delicious candied peel chocolates, as well as some spun sugar caramel tinsel. A perfect showstopper for your Holiday table!

The class takes place on Saturday 23rd December 2022 at the following times:

We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Dan's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons & bake along as you watch Dan demonstrate all the skills required to make this favourite treat. Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Dan.
