Buche de Noel is THE ultimate holiday dessert!

I made my first Buche de Noel in 2021, and it has become a beloved Seabird staple every holiday season since. This year, I would love to share the process with you, and help you create the dessert centerpiece of your dreams. Buche de Noel are a rolled sponge cake, typically filled with cream or custard, wrapped in silky buttercream, and glazed with ganache. A signature of Buche is the meringue mushrooms, which are so cute and fun to make!

For ease of time, I will bake off sponge cakes beforehand, but will demonstrate the process during the class. We will make a filling, buttercream, ganache, and meringue mushrooms, and then decorate with a variety of edible and ornamental garnishes.

Tickets are $115 and include wine, tea, and snacks, plus you’ll bring home your own cake! Cakes freeze beautifully, so this is a great opportunity to make a cake during the workshop and freeze until your holiday celebration. These cakes typically yield 12-14 slices of cake.

Fancy Tarts could be on your holiday tables this year!

This will be an intimate evening workshop, where we de-mystify the beautiful, show stopping dessert. We all love pie, but tarts bring something a little different to the table. Maybe it’s elegance, maybe it’s texture, maybe it’s just pretty.

We will cover the basics of making tart dough, as well as frangipane, different fillings, how to utilize fruit, toppings, decorating, blind baking and more. Tickets include wine and tea, snacks, and two small tarts for you to take home. We will also bake two large tarts during class that we will snack on, and these will help inspire you as you prepare your own.

Tickets are $85, and space is limited. Please email us at seabirdbakeshop@gmail.com with any questions, and to reserve your spot!
