On Tuesday 8th December, Wellingtons Electrical is hosting a hands-on Mince Pie Masterclass with Lesley Anne Bakes, who many of you will recognise from The Great British Bake Off 2025. It's taking place in our kitchen showroom at Wellingtons Kitchens in Erith.
Lesley Anne will guide you through making mince pies with two different finishes:
- Traditional – a crisp, golden pastry lid, the way Christmas has always tasted
- Viennese-topped – a soft, buttery piped swirl that looks as good as it tastes
You'll learn how to handle pastry with confidence, get a neat and even finish, and make bakes you'll be proud to put on the table. And because it's fully hands-on, you'll be rolling, filling and piping right alongside her.
Is it for me?
Yes. The class is suitable for all abilities. If you've never made pastry before, Lesley Anne will take you through it step by step. If you're a seasoned baker, you'll pick up new tips and a fresh take on a festive favourite.
It's a relaxed, sociable session, so you're very welcome to come on your own and meet other baking fans, or bring a friend, partner or family member and make a festive outing of it.
