NOVEMBER 9, 2025: Pumpkin Spice Trifle (Partner Class)

In this class you will learn to make Pumpkin Spice Trifle with Ginger Pear Compote, Salty Vanilla Pastry Cream, Creme Fraiche Whip, and Candied Pecans - the perfect fall dessert for a friends-giving, office potluck, and especially for celebrating at home. 

Trifle is a traditional English layered dessert typically made with sponge cake, custard, whipped cream, and fruit. Our version plays with these basic elements and gives them a flavorful autumn twist. We will learn baking and pastry recipes that can carry over into many future desserts, like a pumpkin spice cake with Barton Springs Mill Rouge de Bourdeaux and Sonora Flours, a compote using Bartlett pears, and a classic vanilla pastry cream.

Together we will learn a variety of techniques and create a beautiful fall dessert in a take home trifle dish. 

Things to look forward to:

• Have an opportunity to make your own pumpkin spice blend and incorporate into a whole wheat cake mix 

• Learn the secrets to making custard and how to adapt a pastry cream to a variety of flavors 

• Build a gorgeous holiday centerpiece dessert 

• Tour the mill with our Education Director

• Purchase BSM products at a class-exclusive 15% discount

BYOB is fine by us for participants 21+ 🥂

A little bit about your instructor, Savita Bhat:
I am a baker and pastry chef with a love for all things food. I have been working in the food service industry for the past 10 years, after making a career change from the corporate world. After honing my skills in New York City working in the pastry and bakery scene at places like ABC Kitchen, Breads Bakery, Simon and the Whale, I returned home to Texas to help start a worker-owned bakery cooperative in Austin. My baking is focused on real, accessible, and flavorful baked goods. I love working with the freshly milled flour from Barton Springs Mill and I’m excited to share these recipes with you all!
