Howard's Biscuit Seascape Showstopper

Join Howard Middleton (GBBO, series 4) live from his kitchen in Sheffield to create your very own biscuit showstopper. Howard's design is a beautiful biscuit seascape, built up of flavoured biscuits, a tuile ship sail and decorative iced biscuits (not to mention the merman!). 

This class will be on Saturday 17th July at 4pm UK and will take approximately 4 hours to construct our masterpieces. We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Howard's time on TV, before we ask you to put on our aprons & bake along as you watch Howard demonstrate all the skills required to make this impressive showstopper.

If the minimum number is not met, we will inform those who have purchased a place no later than 24 hours before the class, and will arrange a full refund.All guests will be emailed a link to the class following their booking.
