Change Patisserie Plans At Your Peril

Change Patisserie Plans At Your Peril

Author: Bake With A Legend November 18, 2020 Duration: 53:42

We had all sorts of mess, plenty of perfection and ultimately one baker who we thought would excel at patisserie heading home at the penultimate hurdle as we saw our final four made Savarin, Cornucopia and a Cube Cake. We digest a week of mixed fortunes as two bakers excelled towards the final which seems hard to call.


Whilst we are sad the series is coming to an end, we’re going to be celebrating with a special online event on Saturday 28th November 2020 and we hope you'll join us.


Firstly, Dan Beasley Harling will be leading a free webinar teaching you how to make the perfect scone, so you can bake along with us for around an hour at 7.30pm to give you a little flavour of what a class with us entails and then at 8.45pm, Dan will be joined by Howard and Jane where we’ll all reflect on the 2020 Series of Bake Off and we'll take your questions. You do have to register if you want to attend that but it's absolutely free - click here to sign up if you’d like to attend.
