Dan's Mille Feuille

Join the brilliant Dan Beasley Harling (GBBO, series 9) live from London who will teach you the delicate art of baking the Mille Feuille. During this class you will bake your own puff pastry layers, vanilla crème pâtissière and learn to assemble and decorate in the famous style. The class starts at 5pm UK on Saturday 20th March and all you need is access to Zoom via a computer, an iPad or a phone and you'll be connected! 

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 and 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.

Tickets are priced at £35 for individuals and £50 for groups of two or more that will join from the same household. Places are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or altered after purchase. All guests will be emailed a link to the class on the Monday prior.
