Explore a world of sweetly spiced bakes, including delicious orange and cardamom tea cake, lemon drizzle madeleines, and more on 13 June and 22 August at Soetmelksvlei.

We celebrate citrus alongside South Africa’s spice heritage in this hands-on workshop at Soetmelksvlei. 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 guide you through a world of sweetly spiced bakes, including delicious orange and cardamom tea cake, lemon drizzle madeleines, as well as a few more surprises. Spice is engrained in the South African food heritage and this workshop celebrates the warmth it brings to the kitchen.

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

The cost is R1 500 per person and only 10 places are available.

Please meet us at the Babylonstoren ticket office at 08h30. The workshop will end at 15h00.

Lunch at the Old Stables Restaurant is included.
