Every Christmas, our kitchen fills with the sweet scent of fruit soaking in our homemade grape wine — a recipe that’s been loved and perfected over the years. In this tutorial, I’m taking you behind the scenes to show exactly how we make our wine — the same one that gives Studio M’s plum cakes their signature flavour.

It’s simple, deeply nostalgic, and rooted in tradition. You’ll learn how to choose your grapes, start the fermentation process, care for it over the weeks, and finally, how to use it in your festive bakes safely and beautifully.

Whether you’re a home baker preparing for the season or someone building your own baking brand, this class will help you create a plum cake that feels like home — warm, rich, and made with love and you’ll walk away with not just a recipe, but a timeless craft — one that transforms your plum cakes into stories worth sharing.
