Traditional Panettone (Italian Christmas Cake)
Tuesday, December 10, 2024 | 6:00PM - 9:00PM
$169.00 (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)
Join Mary Storey for a wonderful evening making Traditional* Panettone! During the class you will learn to fill, shape and bake a batch of pre-risen dough (so you’re not waiting around for hours.) While your panettone is baking you’ll learn to make a batch of dough to bring home so you can make more delicious Panettone to share with your friends and family! Plus, Mary will have a surprise Panettone dessert made for you to sample (don’t worry, she’ll share the recipe too) in addition to serving her freshly baked loaf.
Panettone is probably the most iconic Italian Christmas cake. It is instantly recognizable for its beautifully tall dome shape. Panettone is a sweet, soft, and buttery bread similar to brioche. The dough is traditionally loaded with lemon and/or orange zest, and a mix of dried and candied fruit and baked in a paper mold to give it the characteristic shape.
*If dried fruit isn’t your thing, we’ll also have chocolate chips and a variety of nuts including pistachios and hazelnuts to choose from.
Legend has it that Panettone’s origin goes back to the late 1400s… during a luxurious Christmas banquet given by the Duke of Milan, the desert they were meant to server was burnt. A kitchen apprentice called Toni, came up with a rich brioche bread filled with raisins and candied fruit. The Duke loved it, and so the tradition of 'Pane di Toni' was born and later changed to "panettone" and become a bread of luxury.

Saturday, January 11, 2025 | 10:00AM - 4:00PM
$229.00 Per Station (Suitable for Dynamic Duos- see below for more details)
Okay, so it may not be the prettiest cake, but it certainly lives up to its name! Most Norwegians refer to Kvæfjord cake (Kvæfjordkake) as simply ‘verdens beste’, or the world’s best cake- in 2002 they even voted it as the national cake of Norway.
Comprised of EIGHT* layers of deliciousness- in this class you’ll make:
Norwegian Sponge Cake*
Topped with Delicious Meringue and sliced Almonds (or not- the choice is yours)
Lucious Vanilla Bean Diplomat Créme (Crème Pâtissière folded into light Chantilly Cream)
Homemade Raspberry Conserve
and filled with fresh fruit!
*Can be made Gluten Free- please specify at checkout if you would prefer this option.
Kvæfjord is one of the most beautiful parts of Norway, nestled between the stunning Vesterålen islands and the town of Harstad. Kvæfjordkake got its name from the two sisters from Kvæfjord who first made this cake at Café Alliance in Harstad in the 1930s.
Although it may sound like a bit of a boast, the entire FAB team agrees…even Sebastian!
*The original Verdens Beste is a meringue topped Norwegian sponge cake filled with a velvety vanilla cream. However, Angela had some fresh raspberries on hand and had just made a delicious homemade Raspberry Conserve, so… it just needed to be done. Of course, you can do the original five layer version if you prefer, but really, why would you want to?
You have the choice of making one large round cake or the sheet pan version which can easily be divided into two (perfect for Dynamic Duos.)

*There is some debate as to the actual origins of these delicious pastries…some say they were created by a Danish Pastry Chef and was first served on the occasion of a state visit by the French emperor Napoleon. Others claim the pastry was first created by an Italian chef in Naples who named it "napoletano" after his city, and the name was later corrupted to "napoleon" in English. Did you know the first written record of Napoleon Pastries is in an English Cookbook written by a French Chef in 1733, but the first mention in a French Cookbook wasn’t until 1749…hmmmm!?!

Trubochki (Filled Pizzelles)
Trubochki (Filled Pizzelles)
Saturday, January 13, 2024 | 10:00AM - 1:00PM
$169.00
Crispy, creamy and oh so captivating, these Trubochki* will have you looking for excuses to make them. Come along as Angela McEllin teaches you all about this delicious melding of eastern and western European delicacies. You’ll start by making pizzelle batters in a selection of flavors (pictured are chocolate, pistachio, raspberry and classic anise, but you can choose whatever flavors strike your fancy.) While the batters rest, we’ll create our fillings**- again, the sky (and Angela’s extensive flavor and liquor collection) and your imagination are the only limits! Once the batter is rested, we’ll begin baking and shaping the pizzelles; and, once they are cool, we’ll coat the Trubochki with chocolate to prevent soggy bottoms (this step is optional, but highly recommended if you want to have them pre-filled for an event- plus, who doesn’t love chocolate?) Finally, we’ll fill and decorate the Trubochki. Best of all, you’ll be able to enjoy Angela’s Trubochki so you can bring home all of your beauties to share with friends and family (or not, we won’t judge!)
*This version of Trubochki are pizzelle wafer cookies rolled and filled with a selection of creamy fillings.

Traditional Panettone (Italian Christmas Bread)
Traditional Panettone (Italian Christmas Cake)
Tuesday, December 5, 2023 | 6:00PM - 9:00PM
$169.00
Join Mary Storey for a wonderful evening making Traditional* Panettone! During the class you will learn to fill, shape and bake a batch of pre-risen dough (so you’re not waiting around for hours.) While your panettone is baking you’ll learn to make a batch of dough to bring home so you can make more delicious Panettone to share with your friends and family! Plus, Mary will have a surprise Panettone dessert made for you to sample (don’t worry, she’ll share the recipe too) in addition to serving her freshly baked loaf.
Panettone is probably the most iconic Italian Christmas cake. It is instantly recognizable for its beautifully tall dome shape. Panettone is a sweet, soft, and buttery bread similar to brioche. The dough is traditionally loaded with lemon and/or orange zest, and a mix of dried and candied fruit and baked in a paper mold to give it the characteristic shape.
*If dried fruit isn’t your thing, we’ll also have chocolate chips and a variety of nuts including pistachios and hazelnuts to choose from.
Legend has it that Panettone’s origin goes back to the late 1400s… during a luxurious Christmas banquet given by the Duke of Milan, the desert they were meant to server was burnt. A kitchen apprentice called Toni, came up with a rich brioche bread filled with raisins and candied fruit. The Duke loved it, and so the tradition of 'Pane di Toni' was born and later changed to "panettone" and become a bread of luxury.
