On Nov. 14, La Casita Bakeshop leads a two-hour workshop on finishing a rolled Yule Log as a Bûche de Noël. The class costs $69 for members or $79 for guests.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The class is about the work that comes after a cake is rolled: shaping its look with texture, detail and design. That makes this a decorating-focused session, rather than a listed from-scratch baking lesson.
La Casita Bakeshop will guide participants through a series of steps for turning a rolled cake into a Bûche de Noël. The Arboretum describes the lesson in terms of the cake’s surface and appearance, but does not name specific techniques, tools or ingredients.
The listing also leaves practical questions open: it does not say whether participants bake the cake, what is provided for decorating, or whether a finished cake goes home with them. If those details affect your decision, check with the Arboretum before booking.

The Arboretum’s Adult and Family Classes program rotates through hands-on subjects including cooking, horticulture, crafting and nutrition. The Yule Log session is one choice in its holiday cooking calendar, rather than a multi-day course.
Two other listed cooking classes offer different projects: 3 Melts of Christmas is scheduled for Nov. 21, 10 a.m.–noon, and Holiday Gingerbread House for Dec. 5, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Both are listed at A Tasteful Place; the Yule Log listing does not name a classroom or meeting point beyond the Arboretum.
