Ian's Charlotte Royal Class

Join the brilliant Ian Cumming (GBBO, series 6) live from Cambridge who will teach you the tricky art of baking a Charlotte Royal. Ian's recipe is a swiss roll creation filled with delicious raspberry cream and bavarois, creating the perfect layers within the sponge.

We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Ian's time on TV, before we ask you to put on your aprons and bake along as you watch Ian demonstrate all the skills required to make this lovely treat. Our class will take around 2 hours as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories and tips throughout from Ian.
