About

In this workshop you can make your own Victorian inspired Christmas tree decoration and investigate some of the festive symbolism to be found in old culinary moulds.

Discover the complex historical and diverse origins of spiced biscuits (or is it cake?), and how they were made and shaped.

Food Historian, Archaeologist and Kitchenalia founder Emma Kay will guide you through the process of grinding and moulding using original artefacts from her collection.

Health and safety

Participants are encouraged to bring their own aprons if they want to protect their clothing, although mess will be at a minimum. Each participant will also be required to complete a permission slip on arrival.

Please contact Emma with any allergy or intolerance concerns at kitchenmuseum@yahoo.com. We are unable to cater to severe or nut allergies.
