Book a 3-hour children's Christmas baking class in Bristol. Children bake gingerbread ornaments, tiffin, and truffles to wrap and take home.

Roll, bake, pipe, and wrap! A delicious 3-hour morning of festive baking where children craft beautifully packaged, handmade edible gifts to take home.

Course Overview

Spark your child’s culinary creativity this Christmas! In this immersive, hands-on 3-hour workshop, young bakers will step into our warm kitchen studio to create a magnificent selection of festive baked treats and handcrafted gifts. Guided step-by-step by our professional teaching chef, children will gain confidence in essential baking techniques, dough making, chocolate tempering, and royal icing decoration.

At the end of the session, every child will package their delicious creations at our bespoke Gifting Station, complete with cellophane bags, festive ribbons, and personalized gift tags, ready to proudly present to parents, grandparents, or teachers!

What They Will Make

  • Spiced Gingerbread Tree Ornaments & Figures: Mixing, rolling, and cutting classic spiced gingerbread dough. Children will bake their shapes with ribbon-holes and learn fine piping techniques using colorful royal icing to detail their tree decorations.

  • Festive Chocolate & Cranberry Tiffin Blocks: A rich, indulgent no-bake treat combining crushed buttery biscuits, plump cranberries, velvety chocolate, and a dust of edible gold sparkle.

  • Handmade Snowball Truffles: Rolling smooth, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate truffle centers and coating them in sweet coconut flakes and festive sprinkles.

What’s Included

  • 3 hours of fully supervised, expert chef instruction in a professional teaching kitchen.

  • All ingredients, equipment.

  • Festive juice and light refreshments during a short midpoint break.

  • Complete packaging set: gift boxes, cellophane bags, holiday twine, ribbons, and decorative tags.

Note: This is a drop-off session. Parents are welcome to enjoy the local shop cafes on Gloucester Road while children bake! Please notify us of any dietary requirements at booking.

Before you book

  • What time should I arrive for the class, party or event?

    We ask everyone to arrive no more than 5 minutes before the class is due to start, so 5:55pm at the earliest for a 6pm class. This gives you time to get ready.

    We start on time and finish as close to the advertised end time as possible, so we can't accommodate early or late arrivals and we can't recap what you've missed. If you do find yourself in Bishopston early, there are bars, restaurants, pubs and cafes along Gloucester Road: we'd point you at the Blue Lagoon, Palomar Bar or El Diablo.

  • What do I need to bring?

    All our courses and classes include tuition and the ingredients. We're trying to be as sustainable as possible, so please bring your own apron (ours need washing at 90° even when they're clean) and a Tupperware or sturdy container to take away any leftover food.

    Other than that, just yourself. We don't supply printed recipe cards, but we'll email them to you if you email us after the class.

  • Will there be snacks and refreshments during the class?

    We sell beer, wine, cider, soft drinks and hot drinks during class, payable by debit or credit card. On some classes you may be able to snack on what you've made before you finish cooking, but generally you'll eat around 20 to 30 minutes before the end.

    We ask you not to bring your own drinks as we have them available to buy. Otherwise a £5 corkage per person is charged.

  • I have special dietary needs. Can you adapt dishes?

    Sometimes we can adapt menus to suit certain dietary requirements. Please contact us before booking to check, and if we can, tell us in the additional comments when you book. We buy and prepare exactly what we need for each class and don't hold extra ingredients for special diets unless we're told in advance, with at least 10 days' notice. There may be a surcharge for special diet ingredients.

    Because of how we store and prepare ingredients, we can't guarantee the complete absence of any specific allergen or ingredient that may trigger a reaction. Where we do adapt a menu, complimentary snacks or sweet treats may be unsuitable and we can't always offer alternatives.

  • Can I bring my child to an adult class?

    Each class page states the minimum age. We can't accommodate children or babies in adult classes, for insurance reasons and to protect everyone's enjoyment of the session. Please check who each class is suitable for on its own page.

  • Class times include both the cooking session and the meal.
  • Menus on the site are guidance only and may change to suit dietary needs or ingredient availability.
