Merry Christmas! Join me for a festive class to bake the traditional FRENCH NOËL PAIN D'EPICES COOKING CLASS (CHRISTMAS SPICE CAKE) just on time for Christmas! Pain d’épices, translated as “spice bread” in English, is a traditional French cake that is typically made with honey and a blend of warm spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, anise. This aromatic bread/cake has been a beloved treat in France for centuries, especially around Christmas.
