About
Illusion food didn’t just start on The Great British Bake Off! We’ve been making tricks out of tasty treats for centuries.
From medieval feasts to Tudor banquets, people have made food look like something else to amaze and delight.
Discover illusion foods that might have been served at Pontefract Castle.
Shape and paint your own sugar treats to fool your friends and family!
Please let the team know of any allergies when booking.
This activity is recommended for children aged 7+.
