Get your classic Christmas baking sorted in time for the festive season – right in your very own kitchen!

Classic Christmas is a fun and casual 2-hour LIVE virtual baking session where you will be guided through how to make your own traditional rich fruitcake, Christmas pudding and fruit mince pies – all cleverly made using the same base fruit mixture!

Anneka Manning will share all of her practical tips and tricks, helping you to troubleshoot your way through your own Christmas baking and ultimately making the whole experience more efficient and more pleasurable.

You will also have the ability to bake your own Christmas cake along with Anneka as well as ask any questions that arise as you bake together during the session. Anneka will also be demonstrating the Christmas pudding and fruit mince pies recipes, which you can then bake after the session in your own time. The virtual live session will be supported by printable recipes and resources which will become your go-to Christmas baking kit year after year. 

At the end of this course, you will come away not only with new-found skills and confidence but you can tick one thing off your "to do" list with a Christmas Cake, Christmas Pudding and Fruit Mince Pies ready for your festive feast!
