Explore a world of sweetly spiced bakes, including delicious orange and cardamom tea cake, lemon drizzle madeleines, and more on 13 August 2026 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.

Only 12 spaces available.
