Ian's Opera Cake

Join the brilliant Ian Cumming (GBBO, series 6) live from Cambridge who will teach you the skills to make his delicious Opera Cake, the ultimate treat. Opera cake is a classic of French patisserie with many layers combining to form a beautiful, balanced combination of flavours and textures. During this class you will learn how to make an almond sponge, coffee syrup, chocolate ganache, chocolate glaze and the most decadent and delicious of icings - French buttercream. Importantly you’ll also learn how to bring all these elements together into a fabulous cake!

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 & bake along as you watch Ian demonstrate all the skills required to make this lovely treat.

Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can…
