Want to make (and plate) a vegan dessert like an expert? Ever wanted the insider secrets for creating fine dining cuisine?
If you answered yes, this news about a vegan cake making experience is for you.
Keep reading below for full details.
This isn’t just any cookery class. It’s a one-night-only, hands-on, joy-filled dessert experience led by none other than the culinary icon Marc Joseph.
Marc is former head chef of the legendary Vanilla Black and the genius behind E3 Vegan. He has been redefining plant-based fine dining for years. And guess what? He’s going to show you how to do it.
Let’s set the scene. You, in an apron, mixing, swirling and drizzling your way to vegan dessert heaven under Marc’s expert guidance. We’re talking a lemon drizzle cake that will make your tastebuds sing. Silky lemon posset. Bright, punchy raspberry coulis. And the pièce de résistance? A delicate shortbread tuile. You’ll learn how to plate your masterpiece like a true fine dining expert with edible flowers.
Instagram won’t know what hit it.
And because no dessert should be lonely, Marc will also show you how to shake up a refreshing, non-alcoholic mocktail to match your dreamy dessert.
