Sophie, who is the Bakery Development Manager at Matthews Cotswold Flour takes us through the entire process, including how to make American shortcrust pastry, frangipane and an amazing Swiss meringue snow topping with toasted peaks. It’s a masterclass in how to make a stunning festive centre piece.
