Celebrate the season with one of the most iconic holiday desserts in this special 2.5-hour cake workshop. Join pastry chef Shanna Avila of Crumbs & Crumbles Bakery as you learn the techniques behind the classic French Bûche de Noël—a beautiful rolled sponge cake decorated to resemble a festive woodland log.What’s on the menu:
Genoise Sponge Demonstration – Students will learn the process of creating a light and flexible genoise sponge, including proper mixing, folding, and the essential warm rolling technique that helps prevent cracking.
Cake Roll Assembly – Using pre-baked sponge cakes prepared for class, students will practice carefully unrolling, filling, and rerolling their cakes while learning the techniques that create a smooth spiral and stable structure.
Buttercream Finishing Techniques – Learn how to frost and texture buttercream to create realistic bark details, branch effects, and rustic holiday finishes.
Festive Decorating – Students will complete their cakes with simple holiday-inspired finishing touches that transform each roll into a beautiful seasonal centerpiece.
By the end of class, students will leave with a fully decorated full-sized Bûche de Noël and the confidence to recreate elegant cake rolls and holiday desserts at home.
This will be an interactive demonstration class.
Everyone will receive a booklet with information from the class and a 10% off coupon to be used in the Nibblins store. Please see our FAQs for more information and the cancellation policy.
