CANDIED FRUIT & CAKE DECORATING WORKSHOP

Saturday, March 7th (SOLD OUT) and Sunday, March 8th at Rily Kitchen (Toronto) 10am-1pm

This class with Liz of Birdhouse Bakeshop will be filled with endless fruit, ready to be made sweeter and perplexingly sparkly and glossy- fragrant citrus, jewel-bright slices, and soft, candied peels, paired with layers of sponge, seasonal preserves, and buttercream, waiting to be built into something entirely your own.

Taking place at the beautiful Rily Kitchen, we’ll begin with fruit, learning the ins and outs of candying from Camilla- its possibilities, its many applications, and the way it allows us to carry flavor and beauty through months to come. From there, we’ll move into cake. You’ll build and decorate your own full 6-inch cake using candied fruit you’ve learned to make, layering flavor and texture intuitively, without rules or expectations! This morning will be a celebration of gathering, of cake, of fruit in many forms, and the shared desire for warmth and sweetness when the days are short and the air is cool.


What you’ll leave with:

  • A full 6-inch decorated cake to bring home and share

  • Practical knowledge and confidence in fruit candying and cake building

  • Recipe pack + guide to techniques

  • A deeper appreciation for fruit’s unrelenting abundance, even in winter!

There will be local sips and snacks curated with the same care, sustainability, and joy that guide everything we make.

Tickets are $175. Saturday is sold out, but we’ve added Sunday! Tickets can be purchased here.
