Bake your own: teatime treats with choux pastry & almond cake

Only 10 places available. Join us for a choux pastry and almond flour baking workshop at Soetmelksvlei, a delightful new excursion by Babylonstoren.

Prepare to roll up your sleeves as we embark on our journey at the Babylonstoren ticket office. Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard, which represents a time when life was simpler and craftsmanship was treasured.

Under the guidance of master baker Martjie Malan you will try your hand at creating sweet eclairs and savoury choux puffs made with gruyère cheese and biltong dust. Learn how classic farm ingredients such as butter, eggs, honey and almonds can be combined to create an elegant almond cake and macarons.

After a hands-on morning in the farm air, we’ll enjoy a hearty lunch in the Old Stables Restaurant before heading back to Babylonstoren.
