About the Event
Join the brilliant Ian Cumming (GBBO finalist from series 6) live from Cambridge, UK who will guide you through baking the first of our GBBO Mystery classes from 2023's Bake Off, where he will teach you the technical challenge from week 1 of this year's show: Bake Off's Chocolate Fudge and Raspberry Cake.
A deliciously light chocolate sponge, filled with tangy raspberry jam, and creamy chocolate creme mousseline. All finished off with a perfectly smooth ganache and, of course, topped with raspberries....and maybe missing one.
The class is on Sunday 1st October at the following times:
9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 5pm UK BST
We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Ian's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons and bake along as you watch Ian demonstrate all the skills required to make the tent's most iconic bake, direct from cake week.
Our class will take around two hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Ian. 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 following their booking.
