Battle of the BLB - Japanese Melonpan & Cantonese Pineapple Bun

It’s the sweetest showdown of them all: Japanese Melonpan vs. Cantonese Pineapple Bun — two iconic bakery classics, head-to-head for the ultimate sweet bun crown.

In this class, we’ll explore what makes each of these cult favorites so special. You’ll master the signature contrast of textures — that crisp, cookie-like crust and the soft, chewy bread beneath — and learn the distinct techniques that give each bun its dreamy personality. We'll also learn to make classic fillings from scratch - including creamy custard and decadent azuki red bean. 

From the delicate vanilla notes of the Japanese Melon Bread to the rich, golden crackle of the Hong Kong Bo Lo Bao, this class is equal parts technique, flavor, and friendly competition. All materials and equipment are included — you’ll leave with two kinds of freshly baked perfection and bragging rights as a certified bun connoisseur.
