About the Event
Join Howard Middleton (GBBO contestant from series 4) live from Sheffield who will teach you the skills you need to bake his delicious Stollen and Lebkuchen.
These treats are perfect for gifts (or a little self-indulgence). Howard is serving up two classic German festive bakes - deliciously fruity mini stollen with a rich almondy core and pretty little spiced and iced lebkuchen.
This class takes place on Sunday 10th December at the following times:
9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 5pm UK GMT
Please allow up to 2 hours for this class.
Bake With A Legend Online Classes are an interactive experience, where we limit group sizes to around 25 to ensure an intimate online setting. Not only do you have your celebrity baker teaching you, but you also have one of our brilliant Bake With A Legend hosts who will ensure the smooth running of your experience ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves.
If you need any help at any point during the class, you’ll be encouraged to raise your hand and your baker will be virtually joining you in your own kitchen in no time to assist you!
You’ll bake along in tandem with Howard, learning many tips and tricks a long the way as you perfect all the skills required to make Howard's delicious take on the classic Christmas bakes. Howard will also be on hand to answer your questions, be those about baking or his experiences of being involved on such an iconic television show.
Tickets are priced at £35 for individuals and £50 for groups of two or more that will join from the same screen. Please note we can accept requests to move classes with two or more weeks notice prior to the class – any requests to do so, will incur a £5 administrative charge.
