Gingerbread House Masterclass
Step into a cosy and festive afternoon of baking as your young chefs build their very own gingerbread house — entirely from scratch, with no premade kit in sight. This is real baking: rolling, cutting, building, and decorating, from the very first crack of an egg to the final dusting of icing sugar snow.
We're delighted to welcome our special guest, Pastry Chef Maria, who will be joining us to share her expertise and festive flair throughout the afternoon. Her warmth, skill, and passion for pastry will make this a truly memorable experience for every young baker.
Working in small groups (1 chef for every 5 students with a maximum of 10 students divided by age ranges), children will discover the magic behind classic gingerbread: how to bring together butter, dark sugar, golden syrup, and warming spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove) into a dough that smells like Christmas itself. They'll learn why resting the dough matters, how to roll it to just the right thickness, and the careful technique behind cutting clean, sturdy walls and rooftops that will hold their house together beautifully.
Once baked to a deep, fragrant gold, our little architects will move on to the most magical part: construction. Using royal icing as their "edible cement," they'll assemble their houses with patience and precision, then bring them to life with sweets, sprinkles, snowy piping, and all manner of festive decorations.
This masterclass is all about technique, creativity, and the warm joy of festive baking. A refined and playful experience that builds confidence and skill — and sends every little baker home with a stunning handmade gingerbread house, ready to take pride of place on the Christmas table.
Please note: This workshop is not suitable for those with gluten, dairy, or egg allergies/intolerances, or for vegan diets. Please contact us before booking if you have any questions.
No refunds, swaps, or credits after booking.
