About this Event
Bake Like Royalty: The European Christmas Cookie Experience
Hosted by Chef Mahsa, Sweet Castle Bakery
Some skills you learn once and keep forever. This is one of them.
This holiday season, Chef Mahsa , the mind behind Edmonton's most loved gluten-free bakery , is opening the doors to Sweet Castle for one exclusive masterclass. In a single afternoon, you'll journey through France, Austria, Germany, and Italy, mastering four classic European Christmas cookies, entirely gluten-free and celiac-safe, using the exact professional techniques behind Sweet Castle's signature holiday collection.
This isn't a recipe demo. It's a hands-on pastry education , the kind Chef Mahsa spent years perfecting so you don't have to.
You'll learn the buttery precision of a French sablé, the delicate crumb of an almond-based dough, the deep spice of a hand-glazed gingerbread, and the naturally gluten-free magic of Italian amaretti. Every technique is one you'll use again and again, long after the holidays end.
By the end of class, you'll leave with a beautifully packaged box of cookies you made yourself , and the confidence to recreate a truly royal European Christmas cookie collection at home.
In this class, you'll master:
- How to work with professional gluten-free flour blends the way a pastry chef does , texture, hydration, and structure, without the guesswork
- Royal icing piping and flooding, for elegant, gift-worthy holiday designs
- The secret to a perfect chewy-crisp contrast in naturally GF, almond-based cookies
- How to build and box your own European Christmas Cookie Collection like a professional
This class is for you if:
You're a home baker looking to level up. You're gluten-free or celiac and tired of settling. You're hosting this holiday season and want something unforgettable. Or you simply want a warm, hands-on Parisian-style afternoon that feels like a gift to yourself.
