Christmas Puddings with Maria Mayhew from Black Star Pastry

Overview

The pinnacle of Christmas lunch is the delicious dessert, so Work-Shop and Maria Mayhew of Black Star Pastry are giving Sydneysiders the chance to make the perfect pudding this festive season.

This particular sweet treat can be tricky and fiddly to get just right, so the workshop covers everything from prepping the calico to serving suggestions. It's everything you need to know to create a family of happy Christmas campers.

Mayhew discovered her passion for pastry later in life, and has made a name for herself with unique twists on classic cakes, including vegan beetroot and marmalade cake, and pumpkin loaf.

She completed her apprenticeship at Black Star Pastry in Newtown, one of Sydney's best patisseries. For owner-operator Christopher Thé, baking is all about creating the perfect edible moment to share with others, and their famous Christmas pudding is the perfect example of this.

Work-Shop are all about proving fun and affordable short courses in everything arts, crafts and life skills. The class in Christmas cheer will go down at their Chippendale base on Wednesday, December 11, at 6.30pm, so buy up tickets at Eventbrite to learn how to cook up the ultimate pudding on the ultimate holiday.
