Course outline
Week 1
You’ll create a classic Saxon Easter Cake—a beautifully baked German cheesecake made with quark, rum, eggs, and cream. We bake this is a mini form and trial three different but traditional flavours using fruit/nuts and citrus. Perfect for home bakers of all levels, this relaxed class will guide you step-by-step, with all ingredients provided. You’ll leave with new skills, delicious take-home bakes, and inspiration for your Easter table.
Week 2
The irresistible Bee Sting Honey & Almond Cake, a Swiss-style brioche layered with caramel custard and topped with a golden honey–almond crunch. I learnt this recipe during my chef’s apprenticeship in Auckland from a Swiss Pastry Chef. The reality of living in Switzerland in the city of Lucerne for several years meant I often enjoyed this special cake which was readily available at all the local Patisserie’s and cafes.
Week 3
Russian Easter Cake - Kulich (sweet yeast bread with dried fruit and a rich lemon glaze, similar to Italian Panettone) made in class, baked in special cylinder style tins, ready to take home to enjoy with friends or family.
Week 4
Creamy Walnut Torta – Bosnian Traditional Walnut sponge cake, creating a light walnut meal sponge (GF) then layering it with a sweet vanilla buttercream, the third layer is whipped sweetened cream. Chill then serve a decadent slice at a time! Bring a box to take this home…
