Dan's Prinsesstårta - Showstopper Class

*Please note this is a showstopper class and you should allow up to four hours.

Join the brilliant Dan Beasley Harling (GBBO, series 9) live from London who will teach you to create his Prinsesstårta. This classic Swedish Prinsesstårta is sure to impress even the most discerning of guests! The iconic green marzipan dome contains a vanilla sponge, layered with jam, custard, and cream, to create a dessert that is both rich and light. Dan will teach you how to make this European showstopper completely from scratch, and top it off with a hand-crafted marzipan rose! 

The class starts at 4pm UK on Sunday 6th February 2022 and will take around 4h including a short break.

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 & bake along as you watch Dan demonstrate all the skills required to make this favourite treat. Our class will take around 3h 30 minutes 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 £50 for individuals and £70 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.
