Christmas is traditionally a time for gathering with loved ones. This year, Elena Adell and Hans Ovando have prepared a unique offering that promises to captivate all. It’s an online Christmas pastry course brimming with enchantment, featuring 5 distinct yule logs and cakes to enhance your holiday feast.
These recipes are creative and delightful, including Hans Ovando’s panettone mousse log with orange and lemon, as well as Elena Adell’s cake, designed with multiple layers resembling a picturesque Christmas postcard.
