Babylonstoren: Nuts for pecans! Bake a pecan pie and carrot cake at Soetmelksvlei

With pecan nuts in season, there are many glorious baking options, but in this hands-on workshop you will learn how to make a classic pecan nut pie with flaky pie dough and nutty filling. We invite you to share in the season and join us in the heritage kitchen of Soetmelksvlei for a day of baking fun.

Following a short ride along the picturesque slopes of Simonsberg, we’ll descend towards the historical farmyard of Soetmelksvlei, which represents a time when life was simpler, and craftsmanship was treasured. Here, master baker Martjie Malan will teach you her secrets to the classic pecan nut pie. You’ll also learn to bake a carrot and pecan nut cake and ice it with cream cheese buttercream.

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